Paul Westerberg - Hard To Find Paul

 *THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER

An open letter to Mr. Paul Westerberg

Greetings Paul:

Seeing as how you have gone into retirement and have decided to leave our musical world with a black hole, devoid of your talent, I am pleading, begging for you to send to me your unheard, unreleased music. I figure since you are retired the bug has still not left you. I'm sure you still (on occasion) go down to the basement and amuse yourself with your latest hooks, catchy melodies, fantastic choruses that now linger in obscurity. I am offering a solution though. If you are so willing, send me everything you've done for the last 18 years. I will then release it, small portions at a time to your loving fans. I will not make a penny from it. As a matter of fact if you would like to be paid for it we could set up something through your Dry Wood Garage endeavor. You can set the price you want us (your fans) to pay. We (the fans) have one less smile to show since you've decided to leave us. In the name of Dwight Twilley at least consider it.

One of your biggest fans

Jobe

So what we have here (while we're waiting for Paul to get back to me) is a collection of unreleased, outtakes, diffrent versions, unavailable in America, from one of the greatest singer-songwriters. Special thanks to bobstinsonsghost for making what's here available to us. Also there is one song on here by The Replacements "The Look Of Love" by one of my favorite 60's singers Leslie Gore. If you haven't figured Paul out yet you're an idiot.  See scans

Paul Westerberg - Lucky's Revenge

 

Haven't heard from Paul for a while. I have no idea what he's up to now, seems like he's kinda walked away from music for the time being. Oh and by the way you bastards better enjoy this. I could not get this to rip. The disc didn't look like it was in too bad of shape, I even took it to our near-by resurfacing store to get it resurfaced in case there was something I couldn't see. After coming home and trying again it would only get to 45% on the rip then do nothing. Now also, there was one of those home-made labels (of the cover) on the face side of the disc. Why do people do that? So after looking on Google on how to remove a label (in this case rubbing alcohol, Q-Tips and lots of time) I successfully removed the Goddamn label. Making sure I got every little micro piece of paper off the disc, to make sure those little fucking pieces of paper didn't get on the lens. I had to constantly clean the play side of the disc by drying off the CD. It doesn't appear the rubbing alcohol hurt the disc (does anybody know if it does? or is it the case of in one month's time all the music will be erased)   I WILL NOT BE DETERRED. Now of course when I first started to burn my own CD's I put those stupid labels on some of my disc. God I hope you never request those. I HATE LABELS!!!!!!! See scans

It's off one of my master tapes of the FM broadcast, so the sound is excellent.  Flac files of wavs, with very clear radio reception, and high quality high bias tape.

Paul Westerberg - Gravel Pit @224 kbps

In anticipation of his and Juliana Hatfield's new release, I'm putting this up. I know it's all over the net but just in case you don't have it and are a fan of his like I am this may hold you over for a bit. One of my all time favorite covers on this Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World" This says soundboard but I think it's just an excellent audience recording. See scans
