Before POLLywood - The Go-Betweens - Artist Poll #98 - VOTING THREAD

there's an uncompressed (or at least less compressed) OA out there.

Some day my prince will come...

hit me up at tywilc AT gmail and i'll send it over

Ballot sent. Had 70 tracks on my long list. Heck of a time whittling it to 30. Had to cut Spring Rain!?!? Probably a bad decision.

Actually let's try a more concrete deadline of 11:59PM Wednesday 3rd. GMT <-- Yep GMT, not Hawaii time, or whatever.

Already said it, but if anyone has a rip of that less compressed version please help find a way for me to get it. Don't really want to wait 5 years for the box set

Wow, the Quiet Heart masterings sound a million times better! Thank you for the tip.

Grrr, the app ate my rather long post...

I think I will go ahead with an albums rollout this week. Certainly not not tracks though.

So, alex in mainhattan, feel free to ponder tracks ballots further while I fiddle with albums data. I'll close the gate on the latter in a couple of hours. I really need some of the numbers to stop jiggling around as near-obessive re-sorting of preliminary numbers will shortly drive me bonkers. :)

I've come out of this poll obsessed with The Friends of Rachel Worth

same! i was lazy and didn't do a ablums ballot but woulda been my #1

Ballot sent! Hopefully 'I'm alright' for time?

Yep. All fine and dandy.

I think that's ~28 submissions now. About 100 tracks mentioned in each of the tracks ballots, IIRC. And 20-something different LPs.

Okay, apart from alex in mainhattan possibly submitting tracks in coming hours, it's time to close this.

I've finalised the album votes. I'll roll that out on or around Friday.

Late ballots have fleshed out the solo/side-project results nicely. They certainly warrant a fairly major countdown in their own right, something that seemed less certain early on.

Heck of a time whittling it to 30. Had to cut Spring Rain!?!?

Oh wow. That's too much. Tracks I've been regretting excluding: One Thing Can Hold Us, Rare Breed, Too Much of One Thing.

give me four hours and i am done, sorry for being so late.

Sent!

I can get one in v shortly as well, on a similar timeframe

Looking forward to this!

LOL. Okay, Simon H, but be quick. Album numbers are already set in stone now as I shall roll them out very soon. Tracks only at this point. You'll have to be the very last.

sent!

:)

Okay, absolutely 100% closed now. I think that's a total of 31 submissions.

Incidentally, a fair few voters self-indentifed as 'lurkers' or very occasional posters. The rollout thread should be a safe space for de-lurking, I think. Gratuitous TOO LOWs are actively encouraged, for starters. :)

'self-identifed' obv. I this swear this app somehow increases my already high rate of typos.
