My Old Tapes

Underworld live at Reading 1996

2008-11-30T11:30:00.005Z

Underworld, taped off the radio in 1996 playing at the Reading Festival. This is the best i have ever heard from Underworld. This definitely kicks the arse off their live album, though it's only 25 minutes or so. Seriously, listen to this even if you don't particularly like this band, there's magic in this set.

Jim Pepper - Pepper's Pow Wow (1971)

2008-11-12T11:59:00.005Z

You'll love this album. it's groovy, funky, it rocks and it also has a sound basis in some of the traditional music of North America, released in 1971. Again, this is an album you can't really find online, in fact it's quite difficult to get anything by Jim Pepper on the internet. Enjoy...

John Renbourn - Another Monday lp 1966

2008-10-05T16:48:00.005+01:00

A very controversial post this, because this is an actual album, which you can (and legally should) actually buy.

Basically I looked for this excellent album to download on the various blogs and using bittorrent and couldn't find it, so i bought a copy of this album. I think it was well worth the money, and you should think so too, in my opinion. Having said that, i am posting it here for the reason that i couldn't download it, so here's your chance if you want to download this album.

I guess this is under the proviso that if you do and you like it, you should buy it. Also, anybody who tells me to remove this download will find that i *will* do so as soon as i can, because this really is a breach of copyright, that's if someone were to download this and not buy the album. You get the idea. Enjoy it anyway!

It's very listenable fingerstyle british folk guitar with some guest singing and oboe et cetera, quite innovative at the time, this style is now considered to be a mainstay of the folk genre.

1. Another Monday
2. Ladye Nothinge's Toye Puffe
3. I Know My Babe
4. Waltz
5. Lost Lover Blues
6. One for William
7. Buffalo
8. Sugar Babe
9. Debbie Anne
10. Can't Keep from Crying
11. Day at the Seaside
12. Nobody's Fault but Mine

Here are some links for buying this album, by the way:

Part Two has also been remastered by somebody else and is circulating as 6th August 1967, which it might well be for all i know. In my opinion, this version's superior only because of the better audio quality of the John Peel links.

John Peel's Perfumed Garden 7 August 1967

PART ONE (PART TWO TO FOLLOW)

Original source: a file in one of the John Peel torrents A nice long tape, with what is, in my opinion, a superior recording of Perfumed Garden Blues by Geoffrey Prowse to the one on the "Final Perfumed Garden" remaster. The other track I couldn't get anywhere was "I'd Like To Know" by David Blue.

0:00 - Country Joe and the Fish - Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine

The Orb - BBC session 12 October 1998

2008-08-10T10:51:00.007+01:00

I think this is taken from the Evening session, it's a 40 minute set by The Orb. The tracks are supposedly the following, but i remain sceptical:

Assassin
Little Fluffy Clouds
Perpetual Dawn
Toxygene

DJ Shadow live in Oxford in 1997

2008-07-29T18:18:00.003+01:00

DJ Shadow at Oxford November 1997
I don't know much about this one. It was taped off the radio in 1997, a live set by DJ Shadow. Very good. it has a lot of stuff off of Endtroducing i think, including Midnight in a Perfect World and the one about the Organ.

Probably available everywhere, but anyway, taped off the radio and tracks are as follows:

0:00 - Fixed Income
5:30 - Lost And Found
16:52 - High Noon
20:55 - Organ Donor
24:18 - Midnight In A Perfect World

Supposedly, this is the Sound City 30 Nov 1997 set. From looking at the tracks it doesn't appear to be. Still, Steve Lamacq can be heard at about 20:45 saying it is.

Here, check out these other sources:

John Peel on Radio London 18th July 1967

2008-07-15T22:06:00.002+01:00

Inspired by the "Final Perfumed Garden" reconstruction, I've remastered this old John Peel tape which is in John Peel Torrent 8 (i think). The original tape is okay, but by modern standards it's still unlistenable. All i've done here is splice in the the records that were on the tape along with all the links by John Peel. I've attempted to normalise the loudness too. It's split into two halves and is a few minutes longer than the original tape because i've included the full songs in places where the original tape is truncated. Enjoy, and thanks to the original taper and uploader.

John Peel on Radio London 11th august 1967 - remastered

2008-07-12T18:27:00.004+01:00

Radio London - John Peel on Radio London 11th august 1967

Inspired by the Final Perfumed Garden reconstruction, I've done the same with this show. ie: i've got as many of the actual records (well, mp3s of the records) as i could find and edited them together to make a higher fidelity recording than had originally survived, but as close to the original tape as possible. I haven't done anything fancy, just good old fashioned splicing. I tried my best to normalise loudness too. Hope you enjoy.

There are a couple of songs i couldn't source, and one or two that i could only find in mono but by and large i think the end result is more enjoyable to listen to than the version in John Peel torrent 8 (or 7 is it?). Thanks to the original uploader though! I am very grateful.

This is slightly longer than the original recording, mainly because you get all of the Eddie Floyd song and most of the Truly Smith song, rather than just the snippets that were left on the original tape.

0:00 - Weather
1:05 - The Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday
4:30 - Billy Forrest (of the Dream Merchants) - Hello Lover
8:38 - Techniques - You Don't Care

12:50 - The Beatles - Day Tripper

2008-07-12T13:28:00.004+01:00

Again, I don't think this particular session has ever surfaced. The first one was released as a CD EP, but has been deleted by now along with all of DCFC's other stuff (on Beggar's Banquet except one single on ORG records, in case you're interested) and the second session was broadcast but never released, and it hasn't popped up that i know of in any of these John Peel session torrents, though i could be wrong. Enjoy!

* Situation Desperate
* One Sweet Moment
* Perfect Piece Of Trash

2008-06-11T22:38:00.002+01:00

There are quite a few John Peel sessions out there, but i haven't seen this one yet, so here it is. This is quite different from the live Whiteout stuff i posted yesterday, but still very good. John Peel sessions are usually four songs, so it's possible there's one missing. Who knows?

Tracks:

2 Everyday

Hi all, well this is my first post here, and it's an obscure (depending on how you look at it) band from Greenock today, this is a live set off the radio and two songs off the TV. I like them a lot, they're sort of indie pop rock, fairly jangly, can't think of many similar bands to compare them to, enjoy!

Tracks:

1. Starr Club (live Glasgow 04-04-94)
2. Get Me Thru (live Glasgow 04-04-94)
3. Shine on You (live Glasgow 04-04-94)

5. No Time (live Glasgow 04-04-94)
6. No Time live on The Beat (London Astoria)
7. Starr Club live on The Beat (London Astoria)

"Get Me Thru" is titled "unknown" in the zip file, sorry! you'll just have to download it and rename it yourself!
