Talkin’ About My Revolutions

REQUESTS

Re: This Is Janis

My brother gave me the “Cheap Thrills” LP for Christmas of 1969. It had already been out for a while, but 14-year-old me didn’t know that. I felt like I’d discovered fire, and The New Colony Six would never again hold my attention. Since then, I figured that I’d heard everything she ever did. Apparently not. Thanks for your consideration.

Re: Anna Ternheim

Thanks ever so much for making these available - I really appreciate it. I’ve now downloaded the tracks, and it’s given me a much-needed prod towards buying her second album. Having had a look at some of the other things on the site, I’d also be happy to join the mailing list.

Radio 1’s Big Weekend on BBC 3, live at Mote Park Maidstone, Kent, England, May 10, 2008

For those still keeping score, Hard Candy is Madonna’s 11th studio album. That the album debuted at No. 1 in 27 countries shows not so much how vital the new album is but how much of a pop icon Madonna continues to be.

For this short set to promote Hard Candy, it is Abba’s Gimme Gimme Gimme, whose riff forms the backbone to Hung Up (from 2005’s Confessions On A Dance Floor) that sticks to mind. While the single, 4 Minutes, also features Justine Timberlake, it is the ballad-ish Miles Away which recalls the frothy pop of Into The Groove that is memorable. Madonna live without the visuals is only half a show. Those who caught the TV broadcast will be doubly entertained.

Thanks to calderon1 for sharing the audio tracks (taken from a cable broadcast) and to normanNBG for the artwork.

1. Candy Shop 4:48
2. Miles Away 4:56
3. 4 Minutes 4:49
4. Satisfaction - Madonna speaks 1:56
[Those who are sensitive to strong language might want to skip this track.]
5. Hung Up 5:56
6. Give it 2 Me 5:17
7. Music 5:01

Re: Led Zep - London

I deeply appreciate that you make so much great music by my favourite artists (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer…) available on your website. But there is one essential ROIO which I unfortunately missed to download. It is the Led Zeppelin Reunion Gig from 2007. Hope you can make this double CD available again! I’m so curious about these tracks! Thank you.

Re: Bob Marley - Wounded Lion Sessions

What I think is, that these are early takes in a proces that was never completed, and the faint vocal is merely a cue-track. No matter, still intersting to me. Thanks.

Rolling Stone ran a story on its website titled “Beatles Remasters: Best DIY Reissue” giving worthy praise to the collective known as Purple Chick. Writer Andy Greene wrote:

“[A] secretive fan (or group of fans) who has been quietly remastering classic discs like Revolver and A Hard Day’s Night, and releasing the digital files for free online. How is this possible? The Beatles’ CDs sound so bad that carefully digitized tracks from pristine vinyl copies are noticeably better - with crisper highs, a fuller soundstage, and more realistic reproduction of instruments and voices. “

Greene also pointed out the other advantages of Purple Chick’s free releases that they “are superior to the originals in other ways, too: The Sgt. Pepper collection contains the original record in mono and stereo, and four discs’ worth of studio outtakes; the White Album comes in a whopping 12-disc version, including alternate takes, studio chatter, demos and fascinating jams.” The entire set of all the Beatles albums plus extras comes up to 50CDs.

Rolling Stone did not mention that Purple Chick have a fantastic series of the Complete A-B Road Sessions, a total of 83 CDs in excellent mono quality. Or that the Chick have a complete 10CD set of the Beatles live at the BBC. The official release is only 2CDs.

If you dig deeper into the Purple Chick collection, you will find sub-labels. Nelly Tunes for Harry Nilsson which includes a 10 CD volume of Harryities, Lazy Tortoise for the complete Beatles interviews taken from radio and TV broadcasts around the world and earlier non-Beatle releases that cover their fave artists Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Simon & Garfunkel and The Indigo Girls.

All their titles are shared online for free in lossless format.

Sometimes the original is the best. Genesis released a live album early in their career. As the band was relatively unknown, the live album was a single LP but sold at the then low price of £1.99. Hence the recording was trimmed to fit the time constraints of the format. But collectors have finally found their Holy Grail, the double LP version.

GENESIS
Live in Leicester [Genesis Archive, 1CD]
Live at DeMontfort Hall, Leicester, Feb 25, 1973 (except * Manchester Free Trade Hall, Feb 24, 1973)

The following are notes by fan quadrophenia who shared this more complete version of the famous Genesis Live album late last year:

This is the remaster of the Dutch Test Pressing (2LP) of the officially released album Genesis Live. This one sounds better than all official releases of that album. The track “Supper’s Ready” was not included in the official release.

“The ultimate version of this wonderful collectors item. Finest sound quality ever found, this release put all the other ones to shame. I really wonder how did they manage to produce this, it’s such a professional remastering work!. This is what Genesis Live could have been… well, I think the guys should have a listened to this priceless piece of work and then … release it as should have been at last!, with all the fascinating Gabriel stories, a more natural live atmosphere and the arguably best version I’ve ever heard of Supper’s Ready.”

The version of Supper’s Ready here is unique as it is not the same as the version on Genesis Archives Vol 1. That version comes from a concert at the Rainbow Theatre on Oct 20, 1973 and Peter Gabriel reportedly rerecorded some of his vocals for the boxset as did Steve Hackett for his guitar parts.

1. Watcher Of The Skies 8:35
2. The Musical Box 10:38
3. Get ‘Em Out By Friday 9:00
4. Supper’s Ready 23:45
