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

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:

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)

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)

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?
