A thread for hooking people up with stuff that's out of print.

Green's self-titled! Mid-80s Evanston, IL power-pop. I've worn out the vinyl and would love a digital copy.

Mutiny – Mutiny On The Mothership (CBS) 79

I have this on vinyl and can provide mp3s i downloaded.

Since I can't find the CD or flac, I'd be glad to hear the MP3s. PM me and let me know what you'd like from me (feel free to request a few things).

BTW, I found out these two are available and ordered them:
Ambitious Lovers – Envy (EG) 84 $13 CD Universe
James Blood Ulmer - Tales Of Captain Black 78 $18 Wayside Music (Japanese)

Would you like Funk Plus The One too?

btw Mutiny on the mamaship is one of the very best pfunk spin-offs.

They're only 128 as well (i cant rip vinyl)

I am desperate for a copy of the Ballasted Orchestra by Stars of the Lid.

PLEASE HELP.

This is still in print.

Green's self-titled! Mid-80s Evanston, IL power-pop. I've worn out the vinyl and would love a digital copy.

Also in print (with the tracks from their early singles). Order direct from the band: http://www.groupgreen.org/

Ballasted Orchestra is only in print on CD. I'm looking for the vinyl.

I acquired these in flac recently:
John Cale - Music For A New Society (1982)
Eire Apparent - Sunrise (1969)
Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - It's Time For... (1986)

Marvin Gaye - In Our Lifetime: The Expanded LoveMan Edition [2CD] (Hip-O Select) 81

I've been looking for this one for two years now. It's selling on Amazon for $100 on up. Hip-O put out a special edition of 5,000 in 2007, and it sold out much more quickly than most of their stuff does, and I was too slow. You can buy on iTunes, but only crappy MP3. I've had no luck finding anyone sharing FLAC. Can anyone help?

I recently acquired all eight current volumes of the complete James Brown singles except Vol. 2. Also ordered the Wilson Pickett box set.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Soundtrack (Tobe Hooper 'noise' version, not the shitty version they sell on eBay. Only saw a bootleg of this ONCE).

Jimmy Page - Lucifer Rising Soundtrack (also only ever seen on bootleg vinyl)

Anyone with any leads, let me know!

(don't know if you just wanted a download or ... )

lindus by the shadow ring (don't have a rec player, never been issued on cd)

Thanks Tyler! Yeah, I was looking for the vinyl bootleg copy, but nice to get it on my iTunes nevertheless. Cheers!

Was there ever a version of Prince - Lovesexy on CD that wasn't just one long track?

I have it on extremely good authority that Rhino had a special deluxe 2CD edition, with all thr relevant outtakes, and the instrumental version of the album etc., almost completed and ready to go several years ago - but then the employee responsible for it left before completing it and it's been sat on a shelf somewhere gathering dust ever since.

so sad.

(re: Lick My Decals Off Baby)

fastnbulbous: there were tracked lovesexy discs that were released to radio stations. they used to be major ebay collector's items; now that you can just burn the disc and track it yourself, somewhat less so.

If anyone out there is getting rid of Further - Sometimes Chimes 2xLP please let me know.

Was directed here from a friend, and I just have to say - Ned Ragget doesn't have his facts straight re. Lotion's "Around." Rasputina did not do the string arrangement. They just played it.

I guess I'll have to track Lovesexy myself, as I have had no luck finding it.

Now than the Captain is gone, I wonder if it will be harder or easier to license more reissues. I can't believe no one at Rhino cares to complete that Decals edition.

I'm looking for these in lossless:

Colour Haze - Co2 (2000)
Colour Haze - Ewidge Blumenkraft (2001)

Guided By Voices - Carry-On: Left Overs & Side Dishes
Tobin Sprout - Wax Nails
Lilys - Send In The Subs
Ecstasy of Saint Theresa - Free-D

evan check yr. email

Thanks nerve!!

Format is fine by the way!
Not to get greedy, but is it possible that you have the Popstram 7" digitally as well?

Thanks again

well, i have the Fig. 4 reissue, and that includes two excellent tracks from Popstram... i also have Fly Ashtray's Clumps Takes a Ride lp, if you need that. let me know.

Oh it does, how about that.

That would be very awesome of you, thanks! Fly Ashtray, too!

I suspect I would have fun digging through your collection.

Thanks again! So grateful

Not sure if this the best existing thread to put this on, but Amoeba is now digitizing rare out-of-print vinyl and selling it via their website:

http://www.amoeba.com/music/vinyl-vaults/#page-1

Requisite moral agonizing here:

http://www.cringely.com/2012/12/04/amoeba-musics-vinyl-vaults-is-no-napster-despite-what-musicians-say/

Cool to see a mention of the Amoeba Vinyl Vaults project here. I (cough) have some first-hand knowledge of the venture (cough).

If you can find it on iTunes it probably won’t be on Amoeba’s Vinyl Vaults.

If you can find it on iTunes it really fucking shouldn't be on Amoeba’s Vinyl Vaults.

Huh! Tempted to get the soundtrack to Windwalker.

Music From "In Search Of" !!!!

i dont want to start off the same argument again but "hey if you want to get paid just go ahead and contact us and negotiate the deal, because we cant be bothered to make that effort in the midst of making money on your music" sounds like grade a bullshit to me.

yeah no shit

yeah i don't get it - this is kind of like a rare/oop albums blog but they're charging real money?

Usually bootleggers go to some effort to conceal their identity.

i'm assuming the old stuff (1920s/30s) is public domain? but the newer stuff is ... what? not that i can imagine them making TONS of money off of a lot this, but still...

Anything before 1923 is public domain. The rest is not, as I understand it.

This is weird, I can see both sides of it. Kind of like if Google Book started scanning books and charging for them to read/download the whole thing. . .kind of nice to have that stuff available though. and they are doing the right thing by offering to take down stuff if copyright holders contact them.

Is it a Sublime Frequencies type thing where they are like 'we tried to find these dudes but couldn't'?

uh

http://www.amoeba.com/monk-s-dream-1952-1956-thelonious-monk/albums/839958

pretty sure finding thelonious monks rights holders wouldn't be terribly hard

that could be some weird thing where the label owns the rights or something, and all of the label people are dead. just spitballin

those would be legal in Europe, but not here iirc

hope some of that $15 million dollar investment they made in this is what we in the industry like to call "getting sued money"

yeah, a lot of the jazz stuff looks like it comes from sketcho european reissue labels. i don't know, i don't understand how any of this works.

oh man that's one of those weird italian bootlegs, that's kinda shitty

http://www.amoeba.com/ajax/album_photos.php?id=839958&photo=3

tbf i don't think it's sketcho to have a 50 year copyright rule and release CDs based on that, if you're a European label and you do your transfers with care. 50 yr rule has been an amazing thing for classical, for instance.
