Pink Floyd - The Sid Barrett Years

Pink Floyd -  The Syd Barrett Years
1965-1971

 (JWB Compilation)
---------------------------

This set was compiled from the best available sources and remastered with care. There was no hiss reduction or fake stereo processing done to this set. Mono recordings appear here in true mono. I was often able to reduce hiss with EQ rather than harsh processing. These tracks were remastered in a similar fashion to the official Pink Floyd remasters, so excellent quality tracks such as the legendary unreleased "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream" will blend in nicely on your own Floyd mix CD or playlist. The BBC Sessions appear here with the original DJ intros and have been edited to flow straight through with each broadcast. I am not a member of the Pink Floyd bootleg community, but I am a huge Syd Barrett fan. I was given the raw material for this set by a knowledgeable Floyd collector. I have no idea if all these sources are widely circulating, but the I've been told that this set beats all the other common ones, so if you're a fan, you definitely need this set!

The Smashing Pumpkins - Reel Time Sessions 1989

Smashing Pumpkins - Reel Time Sessions 1989
Studio soundboard recordings @flac +vbr

 

Two bootlegs from early Smashing Pumpkins studio sessions - tracks 1-20 are full-band electric, tracks 21-33 are just Billy on acoustic. Some of the songs were used to make the Moon demo tape, others were released on Gish or as singles, and some have been left in the past.

 ****

More recording sessions with Mark Ignoffo, intended to constitute the first Smashing Pumpkins album.  Fortunately for the future of the band, these sessions did not produce an album as anticipated but the second demo tape Moon.  Billy Corgan also compiled a tape from these sessions called Gish, used for bookings and label solicitation in 1989 and 1990.  Corgan also made a number of homemade mix tapes for friends and fans that featured different configurations of material from these sessions.  While about half of the sessions have  appeared on various releases, the remaining half can be found on bootlegs, the highest quality as unmastered final mixes compiled on a DAT tape that had belonged to Mike Potential.

According to Corgan, the album originally came from Smashing Pumpkins' early vow of poverty. "The roots of Gish are the fact that the band had a policy then that nobody made any money from the shows, so we could save up to record," he explains. "It was amazing that everyone agreed to it because none of us had any money back then. So by 1989 we had collected a couple grand from playing club gigs. A guy named Mark Ignoffo, who lived in the neighborhood near where I worked at the used record store, had just graduated studio-engineering school. It turned out he had set up a studio in his parents' basement, so in 1989 we took that saved money and made an album — even though we had no one to make an album for. There was absolutely nobody interested in our band. So we just made an album-plus worth of material hoping somebody would become interested. And if you listen to that material, it sounds very much like Gish turned out. ~ More at Fandom

Killing Joke - The Pandemonium Demos

Studio recordings @192

For one brief moment, Killing Joke enjoyed their fifteen minutes of above-ground fame not for a having one of their early songs covered by the band whose name begins with M, but for their own accomplishments. The band had essentially reformed with the original 1980 lineup (minus the drummer) and the result was a fresh and interesting record, which garnered a lot of attention with "Millenium". Overall, Pandemonium features a bit of an exotic overtone to it over a somewhat repetitive, looping heavy metal-industrial hybrid. The result is a consistent and strong record which deserved much of the fleeting attention the MTV generation gave it while "Millenium" received airplay. But that track is only one of ten strong songs here. Nearly every song has a lot to offer the listener and is quite enjoyable in one way or another. Even when the band lightens up their thick sound as they do on "Jana", it's still successful. This is the sort of album that is best played on roadtrips or any time you need heavy, energetic and kinetic music. And the other benefit of Killing Joke's short moment of mainstream notice is that now you can find this album easily in used CD discount bins everywhere, though that is a sad testament to the wishy-washy nature of the mainstream buying public.

This 5 CD set and the 4 CD 'The Complete Woodstock Rehearsals', are my favourite Stones boots. Considering Keith's ongoing legal battles over the Toronto bust with the possibility of a lengthy jail term still very real, this is a remarkable testament to the work put in by the Stones.

The songs presented here extend the jams and feature some great playing from Keith and Ronnie. The music is inspired and grooving throughout.

Rebooted...

The Neon Boys - That's All I Know (Right Now) (1973)

Studio Sessions/Recordings @192

The obscure but semi-legendary Neon Boys were a precursor to Television, featuring Tom Verlaine, Richard Hell, and drummer Billy Ficca. Their duration, from the fall of 1972 to the spring of 1973 according to Clinton Heylin's From the Velvets to the Voidoids, was brief. They were certainly ahead of their time, however, as recordings that later surfaced proved. On "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts," which finally came out as one side of a seven-inch EP years later, the group played with an edge suggestive of both speed freaks and punk rock. There was shrieking guitar, half-spoken lyrics declaimed in a semi-state of hysteria, and words that were too scabrous to have been considered for commercial airplay in 1973 (certainly on "Love Comes in Spurts," at any rate). A then-unknown Dee Dee Ramone unsuccessfully auditioned for the band as a second guitarist before the Neon Boys, still a trio, decided to disband.

Of course all three of the principals would rapidly resurface as members of the original Television lineup, although Hell dropped out of that group before their first album. Hell would re-record "Love Comes in Spurts" himself as a solo act. The Neon Boys' versions of "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts" were issued as one side of a seven-inch EP on Shake Records that had two later Hell solo recordings on the other side.
Another Neon Boys recording, "High-Heeled Wheels," surfaced on a CD single (which also included the two previously released Neon Boys cuts) on the UK Overground label. According to From the Velvets to the Voidoids, three other Neon Boys songs — "Tramp," "Hot Dog," and "Poor Circulation" — were also recorded, although they have not yet
been released. [Source: AMG]

The press release that came with the single, written by Richard Hell, says in part:
"That’s All I Know (Right Now) and Love Comes In Spurts were recorded in late 1973.  It was the final effort of the group we tentatively (never finding the second guitarist we needed to gig) called The Neon Boys.  We’d formed about six months earlier.  It was my first group and my first bass.  The tape was made at the cheapest four track studio we could find advertised in the paper--a man’s basement in Brooklyn.  The only way we’ve tampered with the recording is to remix it--no new overdubs.  We’ve left it in mono since no single instrument could be located to send through a speaker because each track on the tape carries more than one instrument/vocal."

On the 18th of November 1976 Richard Hell - later to be Richard Hell and the Voidoids - released the three-track 45rpm 7" Another World EP on Ork Records in the US.

Television - Double Exposure Studio Demos 

1974-75 (A+, FLAC)

From the Dave Sez archive: 
The crown jewels of Television bootlegs, the late 1974 demos recorded at Good Vibrations Studio, NYC and produced by Richard Williams, observed (not produced!) by Brian Eno, and the Ork sessions recorded in August 1975, allegedly at Fairland Studios. The track Little Johnny Jewel is taken from the Ork single recorded during this session.

Lossless rip of the Double Exposure bootleg, omitting the lower-quality live tracks available in full on other boots. These demos would also be released from a much worse cassette source with speed problems as the "Bryan Eno Demos" and as the "Fairland demos". All CD and alternative artwork included.

Track List

1. Prove It (12-74)
2. Friction (12-74)
3. Venus (12-74)
4. Double Exposure (12-74)
5. Marquee Moon (12-74)
(bass: Richard Hell)

6. Hard On Love (8-75)
7. Friction (8-75)
8. Careful (8-75)

Tom Verlaine & Dave Bascomb - London Sessions 1986

Originally posted February 1, 2016

Tom Verlaine - The 1986 London Sessions

aka - Vanity Fair

(UK sessions from 1986 intended for an album but later shelved)
Studio soundboards @flac

**Original Notes**
Sometime in 1986 or early 1987 Verlaine and Dave Bascombe produced at least 10 tracks intended for an LP that was shortly thereafter rejected by Phonogram/Fontana. The known 10 tracks from these sessions are sometimes called the ‘Bascombe sessions’, the ‘1986 London sessions’, the ‘Lost Album’ - or the ‘10 b-sides’ (as the tracks later appeared on b-sides of various Verlaine UK single releases).

Subsequently, Verlaine recorded the album Flash Light (1987). A version of The Scientist Writes A Letter from the Bascombe sessions ended up intact on Flash Light; the non-Flash Light, b-side version of Scientist is known as the ‘Paris Version’, has a different spoken section in the middle and lacks, to my mind, the power of the album version. Another of the 10 b-sides, One Time at Sundown, was re-recorded in a different version for Flash Light. Caveman-Flashlight, Circling, Smoother Than Jones, One Time at Sundown (The 1986 London Version) and The Scientist Writes a Letter (Paris Version) do not exist in a CD format.

Anna, Circling, Call Me The and Vanity Fair certainly rank with the best of Verlaine’s recorded work and we can only guess at why these tracks were not acceptable to the record company. Not ‘commercial’ enough? Well, surely no-one would sign Tom Verlaine in the mid-’80s and expect him to make an album that would outsell, say, Dire Straits or the Police (or The Thompson Twins or whatever else was passing for popular music back then). Would they?

Track List:
Track 01. Sixteen Tulips
Track 02. Caveman/Flashlight
Track 03. Anna
Track 04. The Scientist Writes A Letter (oop Paris Version)
Track 05. Call Me The
Track 06. Circling

Sting - 1974 to 1978

Sting - 1974 to 1978

Last Exit, Police - The Nashville, London , Fast Breeder and the Radio Actors

Live, Studio sessions and Demos

From the Dave Sez archive:
I rapidly went off him in 1978 when the Police went big-time. Nonetheless, "Fall Out" redeems Sting, one of the best early punk singles. This is all I have of him before then, all extremely rare.

Last Exit - Sting´s first band
(15 tracks, excellent prog jazz demos from Impulse Sound Studio, 1974 and 1976, @128 and @160)
.....
Police - 1977.03.06 London Nashville - the only recording I know of of the original Police line-up with Henry Padovani on guitar.
7 tracks @ 320
.....

Fast Breeder and the Radio Actors - "Nuclear Waste" 45, 1977
A one-off cooperation between members of the Police, Gong, Hawkwind and the Edgar Broughton Band, featuring Sting on lead vocals, Steve Hillage on lead guitar and Nick Turner on sax.

Last Exit - Sting´s first band (demos 1974 - 76)
(excellent studio demos)

Last Exit are:
Gerry Richardson (keyboards)
Sting (Gordon Sumner)(electric bass & vocals)
Ronnie Pearson (drums & vocals)
John Hedley (guitar)


Impulse Studio Demos I (1974):
01 - Every Day's Just The Same (4:24)
02 - Carrion Prince (Ye Of Little Hope) (Alternate Short Version) (4:18)
03 - Don't Let It Bring You Down (3:07)
04 - Whispering Voices (Alternate Version) (3:11)

The sound on this tape is perfect - no noice or hiss, it's a copy direct from the master tape - and still kept intact. The tracks were recorded at Impulse Sound Studio 1974.

Impulse Studio Demos II (1976):
05 - Carrion Prince (Ye Of Little Hope) (Alternate Long Version) (4:27)
06 - Every Day's Just The Same (Alternate Version) (4:30)
07 - I Burn For You (2:42)
08 - Untitled (Instrumental I) (3:21)
09 - Fool In Love (4:13)
10 - I'm On This Train (Alternate Version) (4:12)
11 - Don't You Look At Me (4:33)
12 - Savage Beast (Alternate Version) (5:47)
13 - Untitled (Instrumental II) (3:18)
14 - Soul Music (3:49)
15 - Night In The Grand Hotel (3:38)

Live London:
1 Landlord
2 Kids to blame
3 Clouds in Venice
4 Night at the Grand Hotel
5 It's My Life
6 Dead End Job
7 Fall Out

"Old Codger"
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
Communion's got a lot of grace
It's got style and bread and wine
But they're not mine!
You know what I like!
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
I may be long in tooth and jaw
But I've got a lot of nerve
When it comes to an angel boy
Pray for me!
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
What an old codger I am
When the choir is singing in the aisles
And the moon tomes up over the steeple
I might just turn into a bol-weevil
And creep up on you with my beef-jerky!
Hey baby!
We're gonna shave 'em dry
You know what shave 'em dry is?
You'll learn!
Mmmm, that's good, that's good!
That's very good!
Just close your eyes baby and think of England!
Well why not?
I always keep my socks on!

Consolidated
