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

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that one is "currently not available." Thanks guys! List it, but don't actually stock it.

Otherwise, the record is going for 36$US and up.

Would anyone happen to have Stevie Wonder's Where I'm Coming From?

the 2 disc comp is pretty easy to find in the usual places

I did get it off slsk, but lost it in hard drive meltdown and there always seem to be IMMENSE queues now.

Or are we only supposed to offer fileshares?

No, no. This is great. Links to sales, rumours of bootlegs and all that as well.

"Will (Lick My Decals Off Baby) ever be officially reprinted?"

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.

What about Starsailor and Blue Afternoon? Any progress on those?

Great thread idea.

I remember once seeing a brand new clean copy of Lick My Decals Off Baby. Everything about it was so mint, I thought it must be a bootleg and didn't bother since I already have a CD-R of it. That was a dumb move.

I own one of the 180 Gram vinyl reish.

My Lick My Decals is the whole album as one long mp3. It suffices for now.

Luckily I got the initial Starsailor CD before it became hen's teeth.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that one is "currently not available." Thanks guys! List it, but don't actually stock it.

What?! That link says they have one copy in stock!

Here's another that allegedly has it for $23:

Now I feel obligated to track this down for you.

I've got a ton of live concert recordings/bootlegs if anyone wants some (list here). Just email me or something.

All the oop stuff I have is easily available on OiNK and the like (Loop CD, etc) spare this one Alden Penner (ex-Unicorns) 7" I have that i'm sure nobody rly cares much about.

i can upload the loft classics comp for you tonight if you like.

Gallon Drunk from Amazon seller: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0000273OF/ref=dp_olp_1/026-1307961-9373258?ie=UTF8&qid=1185479703&sr=1-6

Does anyone have anything by the Marbles?

creme1 - that would be GREAT.

email me ja✧✧✧.s✧@gREATm✧✧✧.c✧✧ (without the REAT)

(Didn't see this till this morning)

Hmm - they have an email disguiser on nu-ilx.

That should be jamie.sm and you can guess the rest.

All the oop stuff I have is easily available on OiNK and the like (Loop CD, etc)

You see all of that is a mystery to me. Hence this thread, I guess.

can anyone up the short tropicalia mix that was on the optimo site a couple of years back? thanks.

(upping that loft set now)

Thanks! You guys rule. ILM is people helping people.

I got Blue Afternoon and Starsailor from the iTMS. Both are < $8US.

They can sell them on there? That's so weird... what kind of convoluted licensing is keeping them out of print then...?

Apple Venus Vol. 1 is out of print??? wtf?

available exclusively in every used bin in every record store in the western world.

Van Morrison - St. Dominic's Preview (1972) - out of print? that seems weird ... great album.

Uh atomizer is totally available, it's all on rich mans 8 track (well except for one song that is kind of meh.

If anyone has any of the following out-of-print titles, and can get me an AIFF (tracks as they are on a normal CD, not MP3s or some loosy format) I would reward them with two similar out-of-print CD copies (per CD I got from them) from my collection.

Agnes Bernelle "Mother, The Wardrobe Is Full Of Infantrymen"
John Cale "Seducing Down The Door"
Cristina "Sleep It Off" (Ze reissue w/ bonus tracks)

Was (Not Was) "The Woodwork Squeaks" (reissue on Ze)
Win "Uh! Tears Baby" & "Freaky Trigger"
Tom Zé "Grande Liquidacao"

also, quickly-deleted CDs from Metabolist, Max & Malcolm and the Pop Group (a 2xCD) that were on Vinyl Japan.

I have about half my collection (which is 11,000 CDs, so around 5500) posted here, if you want to browse for unavailable stuff (and ask me if there's anything you don't see.) It's all CD too, no files. I'd prefer to buy CDs, but what can you do when the stuff's impossible to find?

A few of these titles can be found used, but not as consistently as you'd think. In Chicago the largest selection of used titles is offered by Reckless, spread between three stores -- no Apple Venus available, but there is one copy of Rich Man's. I've spent a lot of time rooting through the large inventories of Cheapos in the Twin Cities and Amoeba in SF during visits, and it's surprising how few items on my long want list I can find. Maybe smaller towns have selections that are less picked over? Dunno.

The Van Morrison reissue program started in 2008, haphazardly reissuing bare-bones versions (no bonus tracks, scant liner notes, but at least remastered) of his albums in no sort of chronological order. So we got a pile of his post-70s dreck, and then Veedon Fleece and Tupelo Honey, the latter of which did have two bonus tracks. The Morrison had a hissy fit over the company not properly promoting his latest crap album and pulled the plug on the reissues.

Been looking for good deals on any Cannanes material...

Also "Night Piece" by Shugo Tokumaru

Ambitious Lovers – Envy (EG) 84
Bad Manners – Loonee Tunes (Magnet) 80

Clock DVA – Thirst (Contempo) 81
Close Lobsters – Headache Rhetoric (Fire) 89
Empire – Expensive Sound (Poorly Packaged Products) 80
Bill Fay (Decca Nova) 70
Feedtime (Aberrant) 85
– Shovel (Aberrant/Rough Trade) 88
Fingerprintz – The Very Dab (Virgin) 79

– Attitude (Virgin) 82
Melvin Van Peebles – Brer Soul 68
James Blood Ulmer - Tales Of Captain Black 78
Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons – Screaming Targets (CBS) 79

I also have a list of reissues that I feel exceed my budget, including I Am the Cosmos ($40), the 3CD Disintegration, Died Pretty - Doughboy Hollow ($30), Joe Meek box, Wilson Pickett - Funky Midnight Movers: The Atlantic Studio Recordings 1962-78 ($100) and The Complete Motown Singles, Volumes 1-11. I'll probably buy the Pickett, but the Motown stuff is daunting at well over a thousand for the whole thing.

Also, Reggae Albums In Need of Reissue

Fastnbulbous - of those you list, I have:

Bob Andy - Song Book
Herman Chin Loy - Aquarius Dub
Culture - Harder Than The Rest
The Jolly Brothers - Conscious Man
Sugar Minott - Showcase
Augustus Pablo - This Is ..... Augustus Pablo (Rebel Rock Reggae)
Prince Far I - Message From The King
Linval Thompson - I Love Marijuana
Willi Williams - Armagideon Time

also, the Bill Fay, the Motors, Fred Neil, Cabaret Voltaire, the Joe Meek box (I assume you mean the "Portrait Of A Genius" 4xCD box) and possibly a few others.

All of it's on CD, but some of it - like the Cabaret Voltaire and Fred Neil - is complete but contains more than simply the records you mention.

I'll e-mail you, but now I've got to sleep!

In Chicago the largest selection of used titles is offered by Reckless,

ah ha !
ta for the tip off. during june i am supposed to be spending 3 weeks in that fine city, so will hunt these places down.

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Lick My Decals Off, Baby (1970)

actually this IS available for purchase on LP, just not on CD. for some reason.

also wtf so much of this stuff you can get on vinyl for almost nothing. folks.

Not everyone has a vinyl player. Plus used vinyl copies often have a diminished sound quality.

The Motors is in print and available here btw:

http://captainoi.com/details.asp?CatNo=AHOY%20CD%20277

fuck, is new kingdom REALLY out of print?

the who's join together is WOEFUL

crusteceanrebel I can help you out with the Eno instrumentals box and that live Talk Talk thing.

Bill Fay's debut is really easy to find on cd.

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

PLEASE HELP.

Awesome! Folks, let's leave vinyl debates for another thread. My fourth record player died 16 years ago and I realized it wasn't meant to be, and I didn't have to keep pretending to like records and got rid of them. I'm pretty attached now to being able to play my flac files on my Squeezeboxes, with music in every room in the house controlled by my remote. And having my collection backed up on 3TB drives at work.

Fastnbulbous, I'm intrigued, care to explain your squeezebox system a little bit?

crustaceanrebel, i can hook you up with all of the Vinyl Japan reissues you mention, This Heat and several others...if interested, i'm down for trading.

Any idea where I might fight a copy of Coleman Hawkins, A Documentary? LP released by Riverside in 1956 where Hawkins is talking, never reissued since as far as I can tell. Seems to go for a lot of money used - I'd just like to hear it.

Would love to find a copy of the Arch Hill "Head For The Hill" compilation, physical or otherwise.

Shirley Collins "Within Sound" (four CD box set) and "False True Lovers" both on the Fleg'ling label

i have both of these

ok so does anyone have -

percy mayfield, tangerine/atlantic recordings

this is one of the rarest rhino handmade releases, can't find it for under $80 (or much more) online.

i do have one of p. mayfield's tangerine LPs, but there's more on the CD reissue

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.

but i know what you mean a lot of these labels are total algae eaters

yeah, i've certainly got plenty of sketcho euro label jazz reissues, just because the prices are hard to beat.

some of them have better sound quality than any of the US-legit releases. I am thinking of Mancini's OST for Touch Of Evil.

ubuweb does an awesome service, & treats a lot of copyright law as irrelevant, which is like ... at least ontologically valid, imo. but ubuweb goes nowhere near money: no banner ads, no 'donate' box, no access charge, hosted on donated webspace (which isn't utterly devoid of politics, some coming from publicly funded institutions, &c, but y'know). i can sympathise with running a "let's energise the public domain" kinda operation that makes widely available stuff that's already illicitly or obscurely available, that treats "out of print" as a valid endpoint of commercial rights, & even tries to cover some of the costs involved. but just straight up selling stuff & leapfrogging some of those what-are-they-building-in-there questions feels like too much of a jump.

I appreciate what they are doing.The sound is great. It's a bit weird that there is Leadbelly, Louis Armstrong, Moe Koffmann etc on there.I wouldn't go to this site for them anyway. But if you are into garage music, girl groups, old folk stuff, proto punk or any of those genres that are served by long series of compilation cds, this has been the business model for decades. You think everyone on the Killed by Death, Back From The Grave, Girls With Guitars or the That'll Flat Git It comps got paid? My guess is that even if the copyright holder was tracked down it would be unusual that the actual artists received a penny. Not to mention that the profits would be pretty slim anyway.

this is interesting, not really sure how I feel about it yet

Can someone hook me up with the Kid 606 remix of "Straight Outta Compton"?

do you just need it digitally or do you want the 7"?

an mp3 would be swell

do you have an email you want me to send it to?

Anyone have 15-60-75's "Among The Wandering" on MP3?
