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

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)
LIzzy Mercier Desclous (pretty much any of the Ze label CD reissues)
The (English) Beat "BPM" (2cd version)
Brian Eno "Eno Box 2" and "Eno Box 1"
Exuma "Obeah Man, "Exuma II" and "Do Wah Nanny"
Flying Lizards "Top Ten"
The Fugs "Virgin Fugs"
Fun Boy Three "Live On The Test"
Good Missionaries "Fire From Heaven" (on the Vinyl Japan label)
Charles Hayward "Skew-Whiff," "Double Agents" and "Near & Far"
Victor Jara "1959-1969" (I think this is two CDs)
Dagmar Krause "Supply & Demand" and "Tank Battles" (eith German or English versions - preferably both!)
Nico "Hanging Gardens" and "Camera Obscura"
Pere Ubu "390 Degrees Of Stimulated Stereo" and "Cloudland" (reissue with bonus tracks)
Pigbag "BBC Sessions"
Pram "Helium"
Soft Cell "This Last Night In Sodom" (remaster w/ 16 tracks)
Talk Talk "London 1986"
Television Personalities "Fashion Conscious"
Teardrop Explodes "Zoology"
John Otway "Deep And Meaningless"
Dislocation Dance "Slip That Disc!" (Vinyl Japan version, not the LTM one)
Eyeless In Gaza "Orange Ice & Wax Crayons" and "Home Produce"
This Heat (that free CD that came with the box set if you were intelligent enough to pre-order, unlike me)
Richard & Linda Thompson "Shoot Out The Lights" (version w/ 9 songs)
Three Johns "Atom Drum Bop + The World By Storm"
Shirley Collins "Within Sound" (four CD box set) and "False True Lovers" both on the Fleg'ling label
Allen Toussaint "The Complete Warner Bros Recordings"
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

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

That Uncut feature is really annoying. The intro says that they "have exhaustively tracked down 50 extraordinary albums." But many of the blurbs admit that the album in question is awful if not utterly inconsequential, e.g. the ONLY thing interesting (supposedly) about Lotion is that Pynchon wrote their liners cuz the drummer's mom was Pynchon's accountant. I guarantee that even she cannot recall any of her son's music.

Too true, I recently downloaded that Lotion album, and it was terrible.

xxp: Regarding Squeezebox, I think I covered my setup on this thread: Maintaining a Digital Music Collection. Feel free to ask questions there or PM.

The one good song on that Lotion album is "Around," thanks in part to a really nice string arrangement from Rasputina. But that's all you need.

Re Uncut list -

The Fall Marshall Suite is available to download, just out of print on physical media
All of Big Black's Atomizer bar one song is on The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape

The one good song on that Lotion album is "Around,"

you're thinking of the first Lotion album, "Full Isaac". Not a bad album by any means.. but Nobody's Cool was pretty lame.

xp - Thank you FnB, will check out the thread.

Ah thank you there -- been so long since I heard either album it all turned into a lump in my head.

Are questions re. promos that weren't otherwise released ok? Supposing 'yes', I've been trying to get Uncle Tupelo's The Long Cut + Five EP for years. I had a copy on cassette years ago. When the rereleased came out a few years ago, you can now get 3 of the songs, but the other three remain out of print. It's a crime: the takes on "Anodyne" & "Fifteen Keys" are fabulous. If anyone has a source, please let me know.

That Lotion album isn't so bad...

I never knew that Contempo had put out Clock Dva's Thirst on CD! I have the reissue of White Souls In Black Suits that they did.

all those Rip Rig & Panic and Vinyl Japan releases seem like they were in print for around three days ten years ago.

Does anyone have a good copy/rip/whatever of the first Colorblind James Experience LP?

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
http://www.hip-oselect.com/scr.public.product.asp?product_id=AB6A0D4D-036E-4D30-BE1E-BF1BF02557A6
http://www.stopsmilingonline.com/story_detail.php?id=855

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!

http://freedefendu.blogspot.com/2010/06/jimmy-page-lucifer-rising-1973-01.html

(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)

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?
