Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

I just read about his record collection which may or may not be sold to someone (an American radio station? the British library?) on the Times site. They mention a box of records he was carrying around with him. Can anyone post the list?

Channel 4 has made a programme about Peel’s 140 favourite records, which he carried around with him in a box. A spokeswoman for the programme said: “It is the story of an obsessive DJ told through the treasured few records he carried with him everywhere.”

The 140 is probably all or mostly singles, not albums

A great pop song springs out of nowhere, sounds like other things but mostly resembles itself, and contains a series of musical and lyrical hooks so irresistible, so packed with slang, lust and alien rhythm,

i heart paul morley.

2x copies of The Users - Sick of You! Awesome, even if the Times does get the track title wrong.

Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Sunday, 23 October 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Big up for "Baffli' smoke signals"

Wow lots of Jack White.

Does no-one notice a certain band conspicuous by their absence?

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 October 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

Delighted to see the Electro Hippies in there.

bidfurd__, Monday, 24 October 2005 07:48 (twenty years ago)

with reference to the certain band, i remember peel very briefly making a comment about how he thought they were a terrible singles band - or something to that effect. may go some way to explain that, perhaps he was more of a fan of the albums.

mark h (mark h), Monday, 24 October 2005 07:56 (twenty years ago)

.. but they're a brilliant singles band!

Unless it's 'oh I wish that single had ten more tracks on it'.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 October 2005 08:08 (twenty years ago)

Freshmen - You never heard anything like it
YESSSS! The Freshmen were an old school Irish showband, of the sort who were expected to cover all genres, and this was their attempt at doing new wave. I've still got this on tape from a 1979 Peel show.

Mike Spencer and the Cannibals - Nothing takes the place of you
Gorgeous piece of blues.

79. Quads - You've gotta jive + There must be thousands
Best 10p I ever spent. Remember him starting and finishing one of his shows with this, having only taken receipt of it that afternoon

Some Chicken - New religion + Blood on the wall (RAW RECORDS)
The Users - Sick on you + I'm in love with today (RAW RECORDS)

Raw Records were the in-house label of my local record shop in Cambridge, Lee Wood's Remember Those Oldies. They sold Sniffin' Glue from Issue 1 onwards, as well as imported copies of Punk magazine, all the early Stiff/Chiswick stuff, all the early punk indies, and imports such as all the Pere Ubu Hearthan singles. Amazing place, that was. The Users were the first band I ever saw live.

The Upsetters - Bucky skank + Yucky skank
Oh, fantastic. Truly pioneering; pre-dates even Augustus Pablo. I discovered this on the orginal 7" last year.

Also, Julie Burchill and other h8erz please note the extensive array of classic soul, especially Stanley Winston - No more ghettos in America.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Monday, 24 October 2005 08:41 (twenty years ago)

Now THIS should be the JP 'tribute' CD set!

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 October 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Mel and Kim? Chas and Dave? Wait a minute, where's me glasses? That's better.

kimtortoise, Monday, 24 October 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Sheenah Easton? Wait a minute, where's me glasses? Oh.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 October 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

if i only had room for 140 records to carry around with me all the time i wouldn't waste NINE of the spaces on the white stripes!

i'm excited by about four of the singles on the list. zzz, whatever, wish the cult of peel would die.

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 24 October 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

"Hand Springs" is great though.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

What don't you like about the other 136 records?

DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

i've never heard most of them, and don't like the others.

most of them are before my time, to be fair. and from genres i have no enthusiasm for.

The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

> The Squirrels - Oz on 45

ha ha. i have this on tape from one of his shows in the late 80s (?). it's various songs from the wizard of oz done in a 'Stars on 45' style.

koogs (koogs), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Holy shit MP3 plz.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

that's a weird list. the 9 white stripes singles seem too many. recently i asked someone where to start with them (5 albums yet) and that person said, they are all essential. i immediately thought fuck them then. i mean what i heard of them was ok but i'll never get 5 cds by them. if all is equally good it is also equally bad.

the cat power single he chose is from her 1st album. the only one i don't have!

the buzzcocks are the only punk band on there i know. excellent band and song choice for that genre that's for sure.

i am surprised not to find any joy div, the fall and the smiths on there. didn't he like the smiths?

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

the whole list looks a little far-fetched to me as if he only liked pretty unknown stuff. it's almost like a collector's list. i am disappointed, i must say.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

> Does no-one notice a certain band conspicuous by their absence?

said certain band makes two appearances on his Fabric cd (ok, 1 and a half) which i think is more representative of his live sets.

might have the Golinksi Brothers thing somewhere as well. and the YMCA thing.

koogs (koogs), Monday, 24 October 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

X-post

I'm wondering why you are feeling disapointment over the musical choices of a man whose tastes are obviously completely unknown to you?

Peel is not famous for inventing student discos. Even in the mid-80s he was more likely to play the Bhundu Boys than the Smiths. He was no more a champion of Joy Division than he was of Charlie Feathers. And dozens of his favourite bands like Bogshed, Marc Riley and the Creepers and Half Man Half Biscuit easily surpassed the Smiths in terms of airplay and sessions recorded.

As for saying it's like a "collectors" list. Errrrr. Well, firstly he WAS a collector. Secondly, "Danger -High Voltage", "9 to 5", "Down Down", "Happening Ten Years Time Ago", "Without You", "Everybody's Talking", "My Friend Jack" and lots of others on this list are familiar top 40 hits in the UK.

everything, Monday, 24 October 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

maybe i should have said surprised instead of disappointed. surprised because of the little overlap between his and my favourite music. you are absolutely right i don't know shit about the music john peel loved, i hardly ever listened to his program.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

I think it's a fantastic list of singles. Yeah, my eyes paused on the Sheena Easton, but of the stuff I know, I love it, and I'm really curious about the stuff I don't know. I also find it hard to understand how one could be dismissive, or at least not curious, about the stuff they don't know. I assume the box was a constant work in progress since there's a fair amount of music from the last 10 years.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 04:59 (twenty years ago)

I had that Pocket Fishrmen record on the list a long time ago. IIRC it sort of sounds like Sonic Youth doing another Crime cover. Maybe a bit like the one time Am Rep band, Vertigo.

NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm not disappointed in the slightest by the selection.

The only one I'm surprised with is Nilsson's "Without You". It was number one for ages at the time, and I hated it as much as "Everything I do". Now, I can appreciate it more, without necessarily liking it. (The other Nilsson on is fant. btw)

Oh, and I am so "YEAH!" for the YSI's. THAKNS!

The Upsetters - Bucky skank + Yucky skank
Oh, fantastic. Truly pioneering; pre-dates even Augustus Pablo. I discovered this on the orginal 7" last year

What do you mean predates Augustus Pablo? I mean what's the significance?

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:21 (twenty years ago)

Very very early dub innit. Particularly on the B-side.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

(What I meant was that "Bucky Skank/Yucky Skank" (1973) pre-dates Augustus Pablo's "King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown", (1974) which is often credited as the first dub track. But I'm skating on thin ice with this sort of stuff...)

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:04 (twenty years ago)

If I could get this PC to record, I'd be giving youse Bafflin Smoke Sigs.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:05 (twenty years ago)

(xpost) Haha, I'm going to try to be a good boy and not be a reggaebore about this! But "Bucky Skank" is a version track not a dub track as such...

Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh dear, I knew I was getting into hot water with this (he said, mixing metaphors wildly). Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen, as Wittgenstein once said hem hem.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:38 (twenty years ago)

some great, great records there. as for the massive amount of jack white 7"s, well, John loved the Stripes, and Jack, and since the majority of those 7"s are collectors items (and had become so very soon after their fame exploded) i don't doubt they are precious to him, as Jack probably gave 'em him himself.

alex... you hate most of these records because you've never heard of them? insane. the reason why the cult of peel is so swollen, and why people mourn his passing so much, is because he would probably have greeted a carton of 140 records he'd never heard of as a reason for celebration, because he was always interested in that which he wasn't already familiar.

the person who pointed out Peel didn't invent indie discos is my new favourite poster.

that's a weird list. the 9 white stripes singles seem too many. recently i asked someone where to start with them (5 albums yet) and that person said, they are all essential. i immediately thought fuck them then. i mean what i heard of them was ok but i'll never get 5 cds by them. if all is equally good it is also equally bad.

yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me either. but i'd say start with 'die stihl' (the 'songwriting' album) or 'get behind me satan' (my favourite, their most unhiged and also their most crafted), or track down a copy of 'handsprings', which might be the best thing they've ever done.

I hear Dan Brown is following up the "Da Vinci Code" with a book about the quest to find the "first ever dub track"

foxy boxer (stevie), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

fittingly, Stripes neophytes could do little better than checking out the band's two sessions for Peel

foxy boxer (stevie), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

alex... you hate most of these records because you've never heard of them?
i didn't say that, foxy boxer. you interpret my words. and you interpret them very badly. it's more like if someone chooses his 140 favourite singles and there are only about ten i know and maybe two or three i love why should i bother about the rest. john peel's and my taste seem to be too disparate. maybe it has to do that i am more the album guy (that's where the fault in the thread title comes from) who somehow has never got rid of that prejudice against singles and top 40 stuff i have from the mid 70s when i discovered bands like pink floyd and genesis whom i don't care about too much today. the weird thing is that i used to like blues a lot and still do though i hardly ever listen to it. i also like world music and reggae but rarely listen to it. john peel's record box is very personal. but as i said in my last post i am still curious about it. i listened to the eleven songs mike posted and i appreciated some of them. especially the users, the upsetters, the misunderstood, the yardbirds, some chicken and don covay. and the golinski brothers.

concerning the white stripes. i like them in theory. that hand springs song is great but i think i prefer the blues originals. e.g. i was glad to see lightnin hopkins and elmore james on the list. all this probably doesn't make sense but why should it? john peel' record box doesn't make sense to me neither. there are too many blind spots in it when it concerns my favourites. some artists i couldn't not imagine in my record box: joni mitchell, nick drake, the velvet underground, joy division, the smiths, the cure, giant sand, yo la tengo, talk talk, neil young, the field mice, lambchop, brian eno, roxy music, bob dylan, keith jarrett, pere ubu, wipers, lloyd cole, mary margaret o'hara, pixies, sonic youth, idaho, swell, red house painters, cowboy junkies, robert wyatt, pinback, aimee mann, radiohead, my bloody valentine, meat puppets, feelies, gun club, catherine wheel, new order, nirvana, smashing pumpkins, the chills, american analog set, cocteau twins, talking heads and many more.

That's all fine. That's your box. xpost

My box would also be different. Some from Peels, Some from yours, and a lot of stuff not so.

Still, I'm keen to hear the stuff I haven't heard, so let them roll.

Hey, if this thread eventually contains 140 YSI's then that will be the best.

well, I'd put it together for myself with the couple of tracks I had already (dupes from here, unfortunately), also knowing that I have the Beatles on another machine. my intent was to make a playlist from these to listen to tonight.

If you ckick on a YSI link, do the biz, then click backarrow twice quickly, then forward arrow, you get back to the portion of thread you were looking at. If you click backarrow once, you just get left at the top of the thread.

Oh, and keep them coming obviously. I'll search out the White Stripes stuff, no-one with any Charlie Feathers?

Because otherwise you'll never get to hear them again.

I got the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm's take on "Heart of Glass" (done in the Jesus and Mary chain style) purely because I happened to be taping the show, and got the contact address.

The 'yeehaa' version of "Pretty Vacant" I heared once, but never traced down, until I got JP's FabricLive CD.

you may be right there mike, it was the completist in me who uploaded those songs. ysi only offers a maximum of 25 downloads. this doesn't really do harm to anyone.

and sorry for my not so nice comment upthread, patita. i wasn't in a good mood last night.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

I understand your motive, alex in manhattan, so no harm. hope things are better for you now.

I'd given some thought to burning the mp3s to cds and making a few nice little boxes for them as gifts for fellow music lovers. silly, but it might be fun.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

i wish i'd be in manhattan. but i am only in frankfurt, germany. main is the river -hattan stands for the only german skyline.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

At this rate, Mike will have the entire 142 songs posted by the weekend! Thanks (once again).

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

that ZIp YSI won't work for me. Thank you for doing this.

Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

It gave me problems - aborted twice, probably because it's a really large file - but eventually worked.

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I got the zip from another computer. Thanks again.

Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Whoever you are that brought these blessings to our humble home, godspeed!

douglas eklund (skolle), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

ah, sorry to drop the i on you, alex! that's what I get for trying to read after crunching numbers all day.

patita (patita), Thursday, 27 October 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

001 Surfin' Hootenanny (this is fantastic, the guitar mimicry)
002 Don't Play Blue Eyes (beware, digital clipping = horrid sound)
004 Popatop (played in last night's bbc6 thing)
022 Stop! Get A Ticket
024 Sugar Bee (this also good)
044 Lemon Tree
(i have a theoretical 17 more at home, all played on his shows in 2003 and 2004, although i think a couple of them are duplicates with mike's above (cheers mike))

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 07:31 (twenty years ago)

This is a great great list. The Users and Some Chicken recds are great and I'm so pleased to see The Factory's 'Path Through The Forest' and Andy Capp's 'Popatop' in there. One wierd thing - the Eddie and Ernie single 'I Believe She Will' is not from 1984, more like 1967, I'd say. Maybe a re-press?

Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 27 October 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

Did somebody say "Path Through The Forest"?

http://s58.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1M733JQ6HE5YH2Z9QZQ7CXO1PC
Clefs of Lavender Hill - Stop! - Get a ticket
Johnny Fortune - Dragster, Soul surfer
Idle Race - Here we go round the lemon tree, My father's son
Andy Capp - Popatop
The Factory - Path through the forest
MC5 - Looking At You
Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep
Johnny Adams - I Wish It Would Rain
Electro Hippies - Mega-armageddon death (Yes, it really is that short)

Sorry about the two duplications with koogs, but the zip was already made and time was tight. This be a better "Popatop", not sure.

11 more this evening, and then I'm done.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:01 (twenty years ago)

(can you post that bonus track individually (or email it) please. i don't want to download the other 7 tracks again.)

(also, which 11 more?)

koogs (koogs), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:19 (twenty years ago)

I can post it individually this evening, but not before. Same goes for the track listing for the other 11. (But 3 of them are the Upholsterers EP - yeah, MORE Jack White...)

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

I didn't post "Dead Leaves" as my version has a glitch in it.

Also, don't seem to have "Candy Cane Children", "The Story of the Magi/Silent Night", "Hello Operator", "Jolene" or "The big three killed my baby" here.

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:35 (twenty years ago)

(cool, just trying to reduce overall work involved)

i make that 62 tracks so far, and just over 3 hours...

koogs (koogs), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

There's a slight similarity between that Yardbirds track and Franz Ferdinand's "Tell Her Tonight", isn't there?

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

the version of 'you're pretty good looking' on the 7" runs jack's voice through some weird vocoder effect, not unlike Cher's 'believe' or roy vedas's 'fragments of life'

foxy boxer (stevie), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

It had been years since I'd heard Easton's "9-5" (thus my dismissive remark way upthread). I listened about 8 times last night - it's a great song!

TRG (TRG), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Ah, the near-perfect dialectic of the first three Sheena Easton singles! Hell, the songs even begin with consecutive letters of the alphabet...

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

That "You're pretty good looking" version is the "Trendy American Remix" which is on the b-side of "Lord send me an angel". But it's not specifically listed.

There is no "Fell in love with a girl" seven-inch on Sympathy for the record industry, let alone anything called "It takes two".

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Mystery solved: it was a 4-track multi-artist promo 7".

2. The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

wow, this is fabulous. I'd tried to find some of these last night and failed--good to see others had better luck.

patita (patita), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

For the record, "9 to 5" is known as "Morning Train" to the rest of the world as it was retitled to avoid confusion with the Dolly Parton song.

everything, Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

quads belong in category B, sorry.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

No they don't - They Must Be Thousands is DEFINITELY the A-side, 'cos a) I've got the vinyl original and b) it was the track that Peel hammered in 79.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 27 October 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Thanks to everyone who's YSId these.

Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Thursday, 27 October 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

six more (lots of clashes with mike and his are generally better quality so...):

060: Sipple Out Deh
063: Coast To Coast
064: His Guiding Hand
078: Leader Is Burning
099: Keep Her Under Hand
108: Love Is Not Real

http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0772VBXOPAEJG0GRC3WOYBWBZG (12M ish)

all taken from recordings of shows and, therefore, not the best quality in the world. have possibly 1 more (111: My Friend Jack) but otherwise that's it from me.

(that emerlist davjack thing i heard last night whilst extracting these. it's crazy. was from the show with, i think, that nina nastasia live at peel acres track where the phone rings in the middle...)

koogs (koogs), Friday, 28 October 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Emerlist Davjack is great! Also, that Yardbirds B-side, 'Psycho Daisies' is a CORKER IIRC.

Nice work everyone, just wish I had the opportunity to download 'em all :o(

NickB (NickB), Friday, 28 October 2005 07:29 (twenty years ago)

just seen the modified dates on those files mike. nice to know i wasn't the only one... 8)

oh, and
121. The Versalites - Cutting rasor + Black belt Jones (DL INTERNATIONAL)

should be

121. The Versatiles/Lee Perry - Cutting Razor + Black Belt Jones

(7" of which is currently selling for 70 euros in places... but also on Kung Fu Meets The Dragon, Lee Perry cd)

koogs (koogs), Friday, 28 October 2005 07:44 (twenty years ago)

ah, that emerlist davjack thing of mike's is different from the one listed. in the show he was talking to nina and her band about it and he'd provided some sort of advertising trailer for it which had later been pressed up as a very limited run of 7" singles for other djs.

http://home.clara.net/koogy/music/070_Emerlist_Davjack_Trailer.mp3
(for a limited time only)

koogs (koogs), Friday, 28 October 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

I have the Some Chicken 7", and I've got La Peste on mp3, but I can't YSI it at the moment because my DSL is fucked at home. If it gets fixed today I'll try and send those when I get home.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:41 (twenty years ago)

Some Chicken's been done, but La Peste would be great...

koogs: That trailer has clips of loads of different Nice songs, but more in their better-known prog-rock vein. Emerlist Davjack was their debut single, and hence more psychedelic pop.

If anyone's looking for Mike Spencer & The Cannibals, then be advised that the slow blues B-side "Nothing takes the place of you" was the track that Peel rated (and played to death in the late 70s). I seem to remember him dismissing the actual A-side as nothing special.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:58 (twenty years ago)

I thought only the A-side of Some Chicken had been done, but haven't reread the whole thread, so dunno.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

This is true. (Gawd, are we doing all the B-sides as well?!)

Including some too-obvious-to-YSI stuff (ie. Undertones), I've now got at least one track from 68 of the 130 singles listed (the other 12 being duplicate copies). That's 52%.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

the b side of the max romeo single is The Upsetter - "Revelation dub" (i don't think that's clear above. it's on Arkology so shouldn't be too hard to find)

am surprised by the lack of Pavement (um, $30-80) and 'My Friend Jack" (eats sugarlumps? is it that one?)

the boards of canada 7" is $320 on gemm!
the revelino is 79p on amazon 8)

(80 tracks, 4 hours and a minute according to winamp)

koogs (koogs), Friday, 28 October 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

sorry for being so selfish but has someone got the boards of canada b-side chinook and can ysi it? i'd be interested as i love boc but only have the three albums and a couple of mp3s.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

Izzy Royal - Coronation St

cristian ceia, Friday, 28 October 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

chinook is excellent, thanks again. so much more experimental and beats-oriented than most of what i know by them. and still it has got the boc magic. very addictive and hypnotic.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

> did i miss something, koogs?

i'm convinced that the emerlist davjack trailer is the 7" in his box (because of the personal connection) so i have both that and the emerlist davjack mike posted (because its good). (i'll count them as one in the future, save any confusion). everything else matches.

plenty of God's Own Surface Noise (TM) on the Coronation St track 8)

cheers cristian, cheers gregory

koogs (koogs), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

that izzy royal instrumental coronation stis lovely. all that crackling even adds to its charm.

mike et al., can i ask for another song? the b-side of cat power's first single headlights, darling said sir would be very much appreciated around here.

cristian ceia, Saturday, 29 October 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

thanks cristian, you are a star. consider yourself invited for a bembel (jug) of äppelwoi (cider) whenever you are in frankfurt.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Saturday, 29 October 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

No problem, Alex, I'm glad you're no longer disappointed... Any good record shops in Frankfurt (not that I'm anywhere near...)? I'll try to find more stuff and I hope there will be more activity on this thread. There's info on the actual TV show here (too bad I have no way of actually watching it): http://johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com/

cristian ceia, Saturday, 29 October 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

i don't really go to record shops anymore, cristian. the ones i know in frankfurt are not amazing. there are two saturns (a big shop with zero record shop flair who has never what i am looking for or i don't know where to look for, the music i like usually belongs into at least three different genres) and there is one shop near the karstadt, smaller and nicer with a decent selection in indie and stuff. 2001 is good for cheap but mainly older rock, jazz and classical cds. there is also a wom, similar to the saturns. and there is a second hand shop in sachsenhausen and i think there are still some shops specialised in techno vinyls. i usually order my cds at amazon.

I also have a very poor quality version of La Peste - Better Off Dead (which is a great song). If no one else has a better one, I'll post it later.

thanks for those, they are great punk rock, cristian. we have 86 tracks now. come on everybody, we can make the 100...

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 30 October 2005 08:13 (twenty years ago)

I have The Great Namedropper on a file I dubbed from a tape of Peel Show stuff, but I have no idea how to chop it up...

Mippy (Mippy), Sunday, 30 October 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

mippy, just go over to yousendit.com, enter an e-mail address to send the link to, choose the file from your hard disk and push "send it". The yousendit link which you can post here will appear after the song has been uploaded.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 30 October 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

forget my last post, mippy, i guess you need an mp3 edit program. probably the free software audacity could do the job.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 30 October 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

There are two 45min long files on one CD, so I'd need to edit them. I don't have a very good PC at home so this might not happen for a while...(not allowed to install things on work PC, you see...)

I work for the BBC but sadly no longer for a department that requires requesting records from the library. A lot of the stuff played on Peel wasn't kept in the BBC library anyway (I checked when working in radio to see if I could order a Bonnie Prince Billy record...)

Mippy (Mippy), Monday, 31 October 2005 10:08 (twenty years ago)

Hey, send them to someone who can!

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 31 October 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

No CD burner...sigh. Can I upload something that big to YSI?>

Mippy (Mippy), Monday, 31 October 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

I'll be able to fill in a few of what appear to be gaps at some point but the route to me doing so will have to be me making a cd and then giving it to koogs, so it'll be slow.

Anyone looking for that "Hooten 3-Car" record might be helped by knowing that I strongly suspect that they were actually called Hooton 3-Car. It's the name of a particular train on the Merseyside metro, or something.

Tim (Tim), Monday, 31 October 2005 10:37 (twenty years ago)

My DSL connection is STILL fucked but when it's back I can upload the La Peste tracks in decent quality plus the Some Chicken B-side, I promise! Stupid internet connection.

I've got the vinyl of the Laurie Anderson 7" with Walk the Dog on it (a fairly typical early quirkly LA track), but lack the technology to MP3ify it. Happy to lend it to someone in the UK who can help. Email me.

we've been metafiltered. not too sure if that is a good thing. concerning new uploaders apparently not, concerning new downloaders surely yes.

"God, it's SHIT in here. Oh, I'll have that... and that..."

Aren't YSI links limited to just 25 downloads? Tsk.

Here's a link to the first 86 (panoptician's list on 11/1):

http://s53.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=14S3Q4ORA51QY32REH829B7HGC

It's rather large (277mb). Wish I knew how to set up a torrent.

mja, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Wouldn't it would be preferable if it were the whole list (as opposed to the first 86) if you want to set up a torrent?

Stan Meissner, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Stan: Nope. What you do (and what I would do if I hadn't already used up most of today's free time on this already) is:

1: Create a big folder for the files
2: Create subfolders for each of the 142 seven-inches
3: Drop the existing files in the right folders, with a consistent naming scheme
4: Create a .torrent of all that (possibly using TorrentZip: http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/mameftpgroup/index.php?full#tzip )
5: Hand out the torrent so that everyone can start downloading (and encourage those who have most of the files in the torrent already to put them in the right places so the torrent gets seeded much faster)
6: When new files are added, update the .torrent file and publish it - it'll only download the new stuff

This is very similar to how the PleasureDome MAME ROMs torrent works:

Dinosaur jr - Demolition Plot J-7 EP (6 tracks plus cover scan)
http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2SNI8W7EK4OLL2C5BFP66THS5R

Yoz, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah...but doesn't that change the hash of the .torrent file - thus making it a completely different torrent with the same (misleading name)? I was just thinking that if you fill it in with 142 folders, only 86 of which are actual files, it's going to get real annoying real quick with different versions of the same torrent, etc.

Although, by your MAME example, it appears that they keep version tracking numbers. Which is different, no?

Meh...but whadda I know.

BTW, mja's YSI is maxed out...:(


Stan Meissner, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

Dinosaur Jr?

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

Stan: Yes, the hash will change, and it'll be a different torrent file each time. So you have to keep an eye on this thread (or wherever the torrent is being posted) and grab the latest torrent, then point it at where your existing download tree is, and it'll only download the new stuff on top of your existing files.

Yoz, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

Gaaah - It was Pavement's "Demolition Plot J-7", not Dinosaur Jr. No idea what happened there, but the zip is misnamed. Sorry about that.

Why not simply do a torrent of the first 86, and when more are collected, do a seperate torrent? If no one gets around to it before tonight, I'll set it up when I get home in about 6 hours.

mja, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

I would do it, but the YSIs have expired...

Stan Meissner, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

i have the feeling we are running into trouble here. maybe a moderator should lock the thread?

BTW, mja's YSI is maxed out...:(
25 downloads have been reached, i suppose. and that's perfectly okay. all this torrent business talk makes me dizzy. the pandora is out of the box. how can we get it back inside? the small, comfy ilm box, i mean.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

still, thanks for all those fine tracks, yoz.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'd be happy to make a torrent. I just didn't get to the YSIs in time.

Stan Meissner, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

I should have a higher quality copy of La Peste's Better Off Dead to upload in about six hours, unless someone beats me to it.

alex, I wouldn't worry about metafilter having found the link.

patita (patita), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Is someone with all the files going to make a torrent?

-Calum

Calum Muir, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 20:38 (twenty years ago)

I've got this one :
The Wildbunch - Danger (ft Jack White)
It often exists under the name "Electric Six - Danger (High Voltage)". It's the same thing.

http://s53.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0OYL4K3JEG37W1FZ4P53XM5LZK

"Candy Cane Children" by the WS in the suprise package vol 2 is also in the "Merry Christmas EP"

Franswa, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

From the last list of missing tracks:

G L Crockett - Look out Mabel

Is anyone keeping a list of missing b-sides? I may have some, but I don't have time to check what has already been posted.

jorge, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)

Eddie & Ernie - Time Waits For No One
https://s6.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2HK7SDCETETBU31WBBCCWNXBEK

As mentioned in the Sunday Times article:
"the first five seconds of that is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard" - Tom Ravencroft

Yoz, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Arse, let's do that again...

Eddie & Ernie - Time Waits For No One
http://s6.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2HK7SDCETETBU31WBBCCWNXBEK

Yoz, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Oh, man, I totally didn't catch that the Wildbunch was the same as the Electric 6 version. That's one of the few singles that I have (though it may still be at the office). And does anyone know if that version of Dead Leaves & Dirty Ground is different from the album? If not, I'll YSI that with a quickness...

js (honestengine), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

Alex, while I appreciate the sentiment in only letting those who've contributed download, it'd actually work much better if more people can download, since that's what makes BitTorrent effective. The more people you have torrenting, the faster and more reliably it all works.

Besides, I've been uploading these tracks to share with as many people as possible.

Yoz, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

I noticed no one's posted this yet. This is the pre-bass version, which is probably what's on the record Peel had.

White Stripes - Dead Leave & The Dirty Ground
http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=25EZ5ZQTESGI71BDMIOOWQZIEK

I've also been adding Track #s in iTunes to all that's come before, so when the time comes I'll have those all categorized if anyone would be interested in that.

flannelgraph, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

a better rip of the La Peste-Better Off Dead:
http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1NN5DBUZ19F3U34WZMEKB2SSRZ

thanks, alex, for getting that list done!

patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

Thanks alex. Here's what I have from the missing sides list:

Charlie Feathers - Today and Tomorrow
Charlie Feathers - When You Decide
Sam & Dave - Soothe Me
Don Covay - Leave Him, pts.1 and 2
Ann Peebles - I've Been There Before
Mary Monday & The Bitches - Pop Gun

http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1V7O4O13SAMNJ3OI3AGVCX6FJU

Does anyone know what they'll do with the box? I can give it a nice home ;)

jorge, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Forgot one:

G.L. Crockett - It's a Man Down There

http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2Y8TNEF4GNIAR14PVGIXRV4V3E

And that's it for me.

jorge, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 01:50 (twenty years ago)

I think I made a torrent of all the files so far, except the Beatles tracks. The torrent can be downloaded at

http://rapidshare.de/files/7073420/peel.zip.torrent.html

Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 02:59 (twenty years ago)

This got left out of the last message, but the torrent is for a really big .zip file (400+MB). It is also the first torrent I've ever created, so I can only hope it works. If it doesn't work let me know and I will try again.

Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:01 (twenty years ago)

Did you make it with an encoder that allows trackerless torrents?

js (honestengine), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

try http://www.blogtorrent.com/ ? I've never made one but that RapidShare one isn't happening right now.

torrent's not working, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

It's been a couple years since I read ILM, but let me just say, you guys are amazing.

William Workman (bkharmony), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Did you make it with an encoder that allows trackerless torrents?

Sorry, but I have no idea.

It seems to be working, it is seeding 3 people right now, although rather slowly. To download the torrent from rapidshare you have to click the "free" link at the bottom of the page, then click the link "peel.zip.torrent". Hopefully it will speed up as more people get parts of it.

Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Hugh, I've got a grab on that torrent right now. Hopefully, you can keep it going. I'll make sure to keep seeding it when I've got all of it. The more peers there are the faster it will go. Don't worry too much right now...seems to be working!

Incidentally, it's not necessary to make a torrent out of one big zip file...you can do whole directories too. Just FYI.

Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:42 (twenty years ago)

Hugh...of course, I meant Hunter. :)

Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Of the 130 singles in the box (excluding duplicates), only 37 remain unrepresented. I'll do a list of ALL missing tracks later.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 10:48 (twenty years ago)

that's a good idea to leave the beatles out of this.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

here's some info that was missing for B sides and others:

2 Star Tabernacle's B side is: Lily White Mama & Jet Black Daddy (Andre Williams)
The Wildbunch/Electric Six's B side is 2. "Neurocameraman" 3. "She's Guatemala"
The "Ken Colyers Jazzmen" appears to be this: http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-003a.htm
Isle Of Capri, St Phillip St Breakdown, Shine, Gentofte Blues (reissued on CD as Ken Colyer's Jazzmen Vintage)

Here's the full track listing for the Electro Hippies Peel Session-- it's listed as a 12", but judging by the song lengths this would have fit on a 7":
A1 Sheep (1:20)
A2 Starve The City (To Feed The Poor) (0:45)
A3 Meltdown (1:20)
A4 Escape (0:55)
B1 Deadend (0:50)
B2 Thought (0:35)
B3 Chickens (0:30)
B4 Mother (1:40)
B5 Mega-Armageddon Death (0:01)

The Yami Bolo album with "Richer than Corry" is Ministry, but it was just released in 2005. Can't find any info on it as a 7".

patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

I have the Cheeze 7" but am unable to transfer to pc at present (amp buggered!). Hopefully I shall get mate to help out when I visit him later this week and be able to upload both sides.

Also I've included a mock-up sleeve cover which I'll complete if it passes with everyone here.

Thanks to both the guys who emailed me at my blog about this thread - sorry I didn't get back to you but I've been busy.

BIG THANKS to everyone here - John would be pleased I think.

flannelgraph, I'd love an exported playlist for iTunes from what you've put together. I was trying to do some tag cleaning and organizing last night and it got messy very quickly.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

I've retagged and renamed all the tunes from the torrent posted last night. Anybody object if I wait for a few more new tunes to roll in before reposting a new torrent?

Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Dirtbombs-My Last Christmas (gorgeous song, btw).

js (honestengine), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

I grabbed the wrong file before for the La Peste A side (crap speakers mixed me up), so this one should be higher quality actually:

You should put the torrent up on torrentspy.com. So it gets more seeders/uploaders.

brianed, Thursday, 3 November 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

...the question was directed more towards waiting for completeness. Although we've got a few more now.

I'll put it up in a bit then.

We actually do have White Stripes - Candy Cane Children (see further up the page). If people aren't able to retrieve it, one of us could post it again.

Alright kids! The new torrent is up on Mininova at http://www.mininova.org/tor/145207

Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

I called it version 0.1 since it's still incomplete. Howzabout we aim for v1.0 being the complete version?

the buzzcocks - just lust (like ever fallen in love from love bites, i hope these are identical to the singles versions).

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Why is the torrent reading 457.15MB - my folder containing all the songs posted thus far come to way over 1GB?

I could seed this but they're not going to match - have I missed the point of how this works???

HelenLewelynProduct19, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

all 141 tracks i downloaded or added have 470 mb. so the torrent seems to be more or less ok, the last two songs are missing.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I notice the numbering is different to the one at http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14932-1836864,00.html - which I know has some inaccuracies that have been picked up on but has there been an agreed list that we're sticking to? My My folder is way over 470mb too - I will check it of course but is it just me and helen who seem to be singing from a different song sheet. I've been following all the updates but maybe it's me, like I say I'll check all mine

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Yup, the number is slightly different. The biggest differences are with respect to alphabetizing artists with "The" at the beginning of their name. Everything else (ideally) was more or less following the alphabetical order that the Times used.

Oh, and they had a counting error too.

Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Also, the list I compiled is by no means definitive. Feel free to change it in the next version. It just seemed to make sense to me. I ain't the boss of you.

Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

the following white stripes is still missing completely, i guess:
125. The White Stripes - It takes two, baby + Fell in love with a girl
No, Alex: "It takes two" was the title of the multi-artist EP... see upthread.

yes i got that, mike. but where is fell in love with a girl in your latest list? not sure but i think that was the only white stripes song i ever loved. i am sure cristian has it. and if he hasn't he surely has those other undertones songs, n'est-ce pas, cristian? you have got everything from the list, you are just holding back and waiting for the others to contribute ;-)

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

OK, stan thanks for the info. I'm downloading & seeding the torrent now - there's 12 of us on it at present.

cristian ceia, Friday, 4 November 2005 06:58 (twenty years ago)

The torrent needs to be re-seeded. I have it completed, but I have very slow upspeed from my home DSL. There are only three other people on at the moment, but I can't feed them all; I will probably need to log off sometime soon. Can somebody who sits on a network please re-seed?

King Of America (King Of America), Friday, 4 November 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I don't think it needs to be reseeded. Resubmitting it to the tracker would be in bad form since it's still got seeders. I've been seeding it for about an hour now. I'll keep it going as long as I can.

Stan Meissner, Friday, 4 November 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

i posted that into the blue, cristian. thanks so much. just out of curiosity how many records and cds have you got in total (not only from the peel box, i mean)? or is that an indecent question?

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 4 November 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Alex, I would guess probably around 2500. I wish I could tell you that I have everything from Peel's box, but that's not true. For example, I've been looking for that Mighty Avengers single for years, at least since 1999, when it was featured in the Peelenium. Same goes for Geater Davis, Gene Dozier and others. Does anyone know if the Max Romeo B-side Revolution is the same thing as Revolution Dub from Lee Perry's Arkology box set?

cristian ceia, Friday, 4 November 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

i had thought much more. that's funny, me too i have around 2,500 items in my music database. but hardly anything from peel's box. i obviously can't answer your question neither.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 4 November 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

a little eBay searching has turned up the DECCA 45 of the Mighty Avengers:

currently sitting at a pound, plus another pound for shipping. lots of collector places list it for 20 or so.

- Don't anyone go finding them freely available now will you LOL :->

DomesticEmpire, you are a kind and good person!

Yes, but you forgot modest.

Thankfully they were nice and cheap! Let's see how kind I am when you find something for more than a fiver! I hadn't thought of looking on ebay - good idea. I used to be a fanatical record collector though have slackened in recent years, but I feel the spirit inside me awaking. Now I just have a few days to sort out my old record player...

Is anyone here going to bid on 'Mighty Avengers - So Much In Love'? It'll be daft if we bid against one another and we need this b-side I think.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Saturday, 5 November 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

Good job grabbing those, DomesticEmpire! I won't bid on that Mighty Avengers single, mainly because I want to avoid international shipping costs. Thanks for the pointer though, Patita. To make up for this, here's the promised Max Romeo B-side, credited on the Arkology box set to The Upsetters.

Thanks to all for the amazing contributions. Don't have much to offer myself, but the identity of the 3 Nilsson b-sides..

Think it is "Gotta Get Up", for Without You--
"Turn Out the Light" for Kojak Columbo--
and either "Don't Leave Me" or "Rainmaker" for Everybody's Talkin' (multiple 7" releases).

I understand avoiding international shipping--it's why I didn't just grab the singles myself (additional cost plus the additional time it would take). I'm not sure that the tracks available on the Chris Barber site are the same versions as on the single.

The second torrent doesn't appear to be going yet--I've got it started in hopes that I could seed it, but I'm not sure it's working.

patita (patita), Saturday, 5 November 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Yes patita I'm not certain about that myself as the site you found http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-page-home.htm specifies two e.p.'s that go by that same name;

Green cover (Tempo EXA31) (which I bought)
1. If I ever Cease To Love
2. Bucket Got A Hole In It
3. Wildcat Blues
4. Wabash Blues

Red cover (Tempo EXA 26)
1. Isle Of Capri
2. St. Phillip St. Breakdown
3. Shine (Begging for a mash-up with House Of Love!!!)
4. Gentofte Blues

The numbering suggests there could be dozens of the bloody things.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Saturday, 5 November 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

The second torrent is working for me, finished and seeding. (This is the minimova one - mininova says there's no one on it, don't know why, but there is).

JL, Sunday, 6 November 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

colinthom's 3 are bringing up ysi server errors for me. (seeded the 1st torrent since i got it -- am now switching over to the second)

Is one of us bidding on THE MIGHTY AVENGERS 45? eb*y bid has jumped from a quid to £9.50 with 2 hours to go. I'm not bothered by who gets this as long as one of us aquires it for the b side.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Sunday, 6 November 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Yikes. I was going to have a go but I'm not paying that much! Oh well, I don't think it's that rare, it'll come up again. Price might have jumped from the inclusion in Peel's box though.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Sunday, 6 November 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Yes you could be right. I'm going to skip this one myself because I have some other sources that might hopefully yield some results.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Sunday, 6 November 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

I'm new here. I have about 15 of the missing tracks (mostly B-sides). What's the best way of getting them out?

Michael Ross (finvarra), Sunday, 6 November 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Michael, you could use yousendit.com --that's how most of the rest have been done. I'd advise smaller groups than all 15 at once, perhaps a .zip of 3-5 song (depending on their length). Folks sometimes have trouble with larger files via YSI.

Hm, I wonder if creating a Gmail account to host all these files would be a realistic option. Can only one person be logged into a Gmail account at once? I have about 73 of the files (mostly the ones after Nov. 1 posted here), I'd be willing to stick it on one, or make a .torrent, if someone can direct me to a place where I can put a tracker.

thanks to everyone posting.

jorge, Monday, 7 November 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

Evan, I'm not understanding your question. Is what you have different from the torrent that's already active? In any case, I think that gmail frowns on that sort of use of their service.

patita (patita), Monday, 7 November 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

An alternative to YouSendIt is http://www.megaupload.com/ - unlike YSI, they allow unlimited downloading of an uploaded file.

Yoz, Monday, 7 November 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

No, it's not different from the current torrent, except for being less complete. I was just wondering if it would be useful at all, since neither of the existing torrents are being currently seeded.

Evan, Monday, 7 November 2005 00:38 (twenty years ago)

Now I understand. It seems like we should work on getting the torrent seeded. I'll try with it again, didn't have any luck yesterday. What you have could be useful, however. Maybe megaupload or rapidshare for it?

patita (patita), Monday, 7 November 2005 00:46 (twenty years ago)

May I suggest we avoid Megaupload (mega slow!) & Rapidshare (very limiting).

YouSendIT have been working fine from the start and I see no reason to change it. I've used all the free file hosts and the two you just mentioned are used by lots of w*rez sites for cr*acked s*oftw*re and max-out entire IP range's which essentially means everyone on one or more particular ISP networks that can't download without a premium account. If anyone has missed something or has problems just ask and one of us (I'm happy to do it) who will upload again.

Regarding the torrent idea, I think having more than one would be spreading things too thinly - we need more on one not less on two. I understand your frustration but patience will be rewarded.

Regarding the gmail idea, it's something I have already given some thought - in fact I've created an account and am presently uploading everything. Sharing the account is inviting problems but a simple email to the JP account will get you the file you need. I'll announce the adderess when I have a good number online. In the meantime if you're desperate just ask for a re-upload. There's no rush, I think we all anticipate this will be a long run.

Finally a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for the last little flurry of uploads and to everyone for offering to help. Not only am I enjoying the music but the community spirit too.

:->

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Monday, 7 November 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

I didn't realize the trouble with the other upload sites, but that's good to know. I think your suggestions are good, DomesticEmpire--your gmail account sound ideal for getting a smaller number of files distributed after the initial ysi links expires. Reposting on ysi would work too.

I'd also like to thank everyone for their time and effort finding (even buying), uploading, and cataloging everything so far.

patita (patita), Monday, 7 November 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

It's too bad about Megaupload. It does seem a bit slow, but nevertheless, I've already uploaded a chunk of the files posted there. Might as well share it, for what it's worth - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EQ99Z699. It contains:

I standardized the filenames on these; hopefully it doesn't get confusing if there's different versions of the same file kicking around.

That's a good idea about sending people files via GMail. I've started to upload the stuff I have onto an account already, I'll post the address once I get the rest of those on there.

Evan, Monday, 7 November 2005 02:56 (twenty years ago)

I don't wish to discourage anyone from helping out. The more access there is to the whole set, the less meat there is for the eb*y vultures to feed on.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Monday, 7 November 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

i've beem seeding the 2nd torrent nonstop -- there was, as i said, some weirdness initially with connecting, but it resolved itself in time. i don't intend to stop seeding anytime in the near future, and would be happy to switch over to a new seed whenever anyone puts an updated set together.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 7 November 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

Looks like we have the Bill Oddie A and B sides reversed, but I'm guessing Peel preferred the B side. Here it is on ebay:

something people using (downloading and seeding) torrents should maybe know:

Hong Kong man jailed for movie sharing
BitTorrent user gets three months in chokey

i already said upthread that ysi (maybe together with gmail or something controllable) would have been probably a better and safer option. on the other hand we probably wouldn't have got so many songs if there hadn't been the torrent. what do you think?

The original real audio file was HEAVILY compressed therefore further compression added by converting it to mp3 makes this an 'it'll do for now' version. Still better than nothing. Thanks to arbo and patita for their fine detection work :)

Now how do I go about reseeding the torrents? I've got both versions of the torrent, and I'd like to reshare them, but I'm not sure how.

Evan, Tuesday, 8 November 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

Oh, nevermind, got it working. Tomato Torrent misleadingly tells me it'll overwrite my completed folder, but it instead just starts seeding.

Evan, Tuesday, 8 November 2005 07:03 (twenty years ago)

I recommend µTorrent http://www.utorrent.com/
At under 100Kb, requiring no installation and free it's bloody marvellous.

Also in reply to an earlier query, http://www.cdfreaks.com/software/ is one of the best places to find all kinds of audio/cd/dvd tools and advice.

Seems we're still doing pretty well tracking these down. I wonder which few are to be our Waterloo? Of course we do know one chap who has them all...

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your hard work in putting this whole thing together. I'm one those dastardly people who got here because of MetaFilter but I sincerely loved John Peel's radio work and the openness with which he approached new music. As a lover of all musical styles, I'm enjoying the varying genres of this project immensely. Although I don't have any tracks to offer that aren't already being shared, perhaps I can supply the occasional audio upgrade for tracks on the list. If anyone is interested, here's a 256kb version of "Aquarius" by Boards of Canada. (and if you like their stuff, I recommend the new album by Jan Jelinek...it's pretty amazing, subtle stuff in the 'IDM' vein.)

New wants list.

Notes:
1. I've added a couple of previously unlisted B-sides:
- White Stripes - The Gift of the Magi/Silent Night (Merry Christmas EP)
- The Dirtbombs - Cedar Point '76 (White Stripes "Hand Springs")
2. "Clague" is actually an early Kevin Coyne band called Siren; the single was mistakenly credited, and both tracks subsequently turned up on Siren albums.
3. I can supply the Sheena Easton and Quads B-sides later.
4. The Ken Colyer tracks that we've got are only excerpts.

we've had the 124 b sides, i think the White Stripes Christmas Message mp3 was actually all three tracks (they were dreadful!)

revelino is in the post, hopefully. and tim has mentioned having a copy of the geater davis...

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

It was a zip file, but shortly I'll post the 'magi/night' mp3 here.

Oh, it's ready:

Some of the Meow (Maow?) tracks are included on their only CD, which I think I have somewhere. "One Night Stand" definitely is on it...will try to find it if the single doesn't turn up.

Also - for anybody that's missing some of the earlier posts, I'd be happy to repost anything.

And finally - now that this has been going on for a couple weeks, does anybody have a favorite that they didn't know before? Me: Starting All Over Again - Mel & Tim - what an incredible song.

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

I haven't kept up since the last torrent - assuming there would be another.. But everything from the last torrent is @ slsk (including the ones you just listed, i think.) TRG, I was going to swipe the later updates from you & create a new torrent, but it looks like Stan's on it.

124 The White Stripes - The Gift of the Magi/Silent Night

I've posted that one already - in the Merry Christmas EP zip. (I can post it again if needed)

Yoz, Wednesday, 9 November 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

NOT the record itself but some info regarding the Meow 7'' plus a nice piccy of the sleeve.

http://www.peekaboorecords.com/news/2005/11/twist-like-this-7-in-john-peels-time.html

It may help in presenting a lead to somewhere.....

----¦ Apology Corner ¦----
Sorry for delay in those other tracks but I've had a shitty day and can't be arsed to do all the processing. Maybe tomorrow. Yes they are the eb*y records in question Patita. I've not uploaded yet because I had trouble getting my turntable to run at the correct speed. It's working now though still temperamental. Needs stripping down and having a good clean and maybe replacing the belt. Anyway I uploaded the Cheeze and Roy Head as you will have seen but the eb*y 45's have a LOT of surface noise which required a little software assisted 'cleaning'. I might add some 'off-topic' records later. I've got some great records here as a result of Peel. Maybe I'll do a podcast-type-thing - always fancied the idea.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Thursday, 10 November 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, a podcast! That would be very keen--please let me know when you do get it together.

Don't feel pressured, Domestic Empire--we know you have them, and that vinyl ripping can be a delicate art (says one who has a pile of about 20 things sitting here waiting to be ripped). We've got many others to find in the meantime!

patita (patita), Thursday, 10 November 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

Would anyone like a load of folders?

You know, with the numbers, artist names etc?

I can (I think) make a zip file,then you can move files you've got into them.

Yoz, Thursday, 10 November 2005 12:05 (twenty years ago)

Thanks all the same Mark but personally I'm keeping everything in one folder to see exactly what I have and be able to dive in with a media player and hit random. Though I still sort certain things into sub-folders on my drives I've found that recently, (it could be an age thing), Im losing track of things down to how they're compartmentalised.

Incidentily, and perhaps somewhat paradoxicaly, there is a great little piece of software that's free and doesn't require any installation called File Sieve that will "..take the files from a directory and copy or move them into a new folder, while creating subfolders from A-Z and sorting the files into them based on their name (first letter)." Quicker than you can say 'compartmentalisationaly-challenged' or, 'bollox that was quick'.

The guy is a very active developer and it's worth checking out his other software.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Thursday, 10 November 2005 12:12 (twenty years ago)

> Would anyone like a load of folders?
> You know, with the numbers, artist names etc?

it does kinda annoy me, the thought that people will upload things that require everyone else to rename, mp3 tag and file and that mark's idea is something we needed but i guess it's too late to impose some kind of scheme now. (don't even get me started on the rar files 8)

(and is it a windows thing that people like having lots of folders with 2 or 3 files in each? i find one directory with lots of (well named) files much easier to use - less clicking on those tiny open / close boxes in directory trees, less very long path names)

no sign of carrier pigeon or the kindly Amazon elves and no time last night to extract the sirens. maybe tomorrow. (although it's melt banana tonight so...)

Well, I really just did this on a quiet moment, along with the moving in of mp3s and opening zip files etc.

Also, Side 1's YSILink shows side 2's title and vice versa (or something), I don't know if the track titles match the music or what.

THis is a stunning project here. I am on thee bandwagon!! My prob is everything prior to about five days ago has expired, save the torrent and the megaupload, both of which are currently whirring away. I suspect that many of the tracks in the megaupload are the same as many of the tracks as the torrent, however.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:42 (twenty years ago)

There's supposed to be an updated torrent at some point, eh? I've sort of lost track of exactly what's going on.

TRG (TRG), Saturday, 12 November 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

An updated torrent would be good for people coming to this for the first time. But I think another torrent -- without anything from the first one -- should be made available for people who already have the first one. Downloading hundreds of megs all over just to get 15 new songs...

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 12 November 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Tracer, I had considered the idea of doing an "update" version of the torrent. I think it's a good idea. Just don't have the time right now.

Stan Meissner, Saturday, 12 November 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Tracer, I had considered the idea of doing an incremental update version of the torrent. I think it's a good idea. Just don't have the time right now.

Documentary is Monday night (14th), Channel 4, 11:10.

"23:10 John Peel's Record Box [subtitles]
In a small, battered wooden box, John Peel kept a precious selection of 7-inch singles that meant more to him than any of the others. This one-hour special reveals the contents of this box, providing a unique insight into the eclectic tastes of the renowned DJ and broadcaster."

patita (patita), Sunday, 13 November 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

I've got the torrent now, but its numbers don't match with alex in mainhattan's system nor with the Times article!! waaah. In any case, I think the torrent actually goes up until ALMOST a week ago, which means I can be as up to date as anyone on this page can possibly be by just sitting around and letting everyone else do all the work of hunting these things down. I have, however, done the work of renumbering everything in the torrent to match alex and the times' way.. i'll upload what i've got somewhere, if people would like?

083B Scrugg - Only George

colinthom, Sunday, 13 November 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

thanks a lot colinthom.

it's not important at all (tracer hand mentioned the subject) but that scrugg song was 087B according to the original numbering used in the times article upthread. i personally like that system, cds peel had several copies of count several times. using that system would leave "holes" in the sequencing from 001 to 142
as peel had less than 142 different singles in his wooden box but i don't see this as a problem. on the opposite there is a certain charm to this "imperfect" numbering i find.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 13 November 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, it's long thread so I don't expect you to have caught this. I renumbered the tracks in the torrent because there were some omissions and errors in the Times article. They also alphabetized some of the tracks kinda counterintuitively (to me), particularly bands with "The" at the beginning of their name.

Do what you want with them. Just thought you should know why they're different.

Stan Meissner, Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

The Meow single is incredible! I like Neko Case and everything, but she ought to abandon this solo thing and reform Meow!

TRG (TRG), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

i have to imagine the white stripes-heaviness of this box is the result of some story that may forever remain obscure.

Nothing obscure there: His son Tom said it was because they were a recent obsession. He said something about how in ten years he might have removed them all and replaced them with something else. Anyway, don't know why people find it odd that he liked them so much.

TRG (TRG), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

did you read my last post, stan? the original numbering is not wrong (except that thing about two or three alphabetical mistakes). it's just different.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

The XL Capris B side is making its way from Australia, and I'll post it as soon as it arrives.

patita (patita), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

hey paul, a little birdie told me there might be a YSI on its way soon with those reposts

yeah, re numbering, i guess we're all going to have our own little idiosyncratic way of doing things, there's just nothing else for it unless someone came in at the very beginning and laid down the law about it, which would have been nice, but also not quite in the spirit of things. i mean it wouldn't be right for it all to be easy and organized, now, would it!

in some bizarre psychosis, i actually went and found sleeve art for everything through "N", missing only about 15 songs. if people want, i can make a zip of that stuff and post it somewhere, too.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 13 November 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

fwiw, i doubt don covay's "leave him, part 2" was on the single. i suspect it only appeared on the album, but it's hard to tell. it is certainly a redundant piece of music.

yeah, i don't have any magic answer, i've just got a lot of free time this weekend. it is pretty crazy the stuff you find looking for stuff like this, though. for instance, pocket fishrmen may still be available on ebay here - http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=17646&item=4738445494&rd=1

also, this case study from the columbia law school web site about the legal disputes around "mojo workout" looks utterly bananas - http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/law/library/cases/case_Strachborneoarc.html

The Scrugg A-side ("Will The Real Geraldine...") is available on "Lavender Popcorn", a CD compilation of John Kongos material:

http://www.sanctuaryrecords.co.uk/index.php?action=showproduct&productid=32854&l1=3&l2=0&l3=0&rt=&lastpage=

And I see the Gene Dozier song "Give The Women What They Want" is listed as the B-side somewhere here. Don't know if that's true but it's definitely the song that Peel considered the A-side – I remember him playing it following his broadcast of the Peelenium for 1975 (or thereabouts). It has an almighty funk groove and is worth tracking down. The song was originally recorded by the Isley Brothers circa 1969, but I don't think any version has seen the light of day on CD.

And what happened to the Toggery Five single? -

Felix M (Kimble), Monday, 14 November 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

"Within this sacred box, there's a Jagger-Richards composition, I'd Rather Be Out with the Boys, by mid-1960s Manchester no-hit wonders the Toggery Five"

Felix, that's a valid point. As we know this record box was its 'nth incarnation following the loss of several over previous years and it might just be that this Toggery Five single was one one he'd not got around to replacing yet. I suggest we add this to the list a recording that old was hardly going to suddenly fall out of favour with the man.

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Monday, 14 November 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

I just bet ya supergrass was in there, in fact i know it!

I'd had my eye on that Pocket Fishrmen single on ebay, but was hoping to check local sources before going that far.

thanks for putting together the cover art! I'd not thought of that before, but it's a good source of information/context of these records. I guess we can try to fill in the gaps there as well.

patita (patita), Monday, 14 November 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

Yo, Alex, no I didn't even see your last post. But to be clear, there was one error that the "holes" didn't account for. There was actually one error I found. I went so far as to include an HTML listing of all that in the torrent. But I found the biggest problem I had was with the "The" bands, not the holes.

Stan Meissner, Monday, 14 November 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I don't even remember what I thought the error was. Doesn't matter anyway. As I said, the alphabetization issue was what bugged me most, not the numbering.

And yeah, for the record, I was aware that Peel had duplicates, smarty pants.

Stan Meissener, Monday, 14 November 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

As a figure of speech, the concept of having, or not having, one's MOJO working is not something in which any one person could assert originality, or establish a proprietary right. See infra, p. 1404, et seq.

Paul Lawton (Quartermass), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

you're welcome!

just to be clear about that sleeve art, i only included sleeves that i was reasonably sure were the actual singles themselves, rather than comps, albums, CDs, etc.

usually i really don't go for adding art, etc but it seems really nice with this project, as most of them are harshly-lit scanned photos of old dinged up seven inches.

Hey, is the torrent still going/updated? If not, is there any hope of getting those .zips of it up again on YSI? Even broken into halves, it would be handy (since I missed a couple days and now am faced with many, many files to get through YSI...)

js (honestengine), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

there is something sort of reassuring in realizing that some of this record box is real shite.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Absolutely.

A little while ago, I started a thread about 'your singles box' which came to mind while watching the doc last night. Alongside the rare singles (VU, Mutantes, Monks) theres oddities like Cheech and chong, the Move's "I can hear the grass grow" funnily enough, and "Afternoon of the rhino".

I'd hate to have that selection as being truly representative of my taste, but then it wouldn't all fit into one box. Much like there being no Fall in this one.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 09:21 (twenty years ago)

i think a lot of the 'shite' is in there for personal reasons, not that musical taste isn't all personal reasons.

nice to see sheila in The Vaults t-shirt. (in the book it mentions that john had planned to wear one when they got to machu picchu knowing that there'd be a lot of pictures taken there, his way of getting them exposure)

first time i'd seen moving footage from the wedding as well.

oh, and the Ken Colyers Jazzmen thing would appear to be the one that isn't the Capri track, but the other one.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

1) That Beatles e.p. is indeed from USSR
2) That Misunderstood single, I'm fairly certain is the one that got reissued as part of a box set, early nineties, I believe.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 09:54 (twenty years ago)

Off topic, but of interest:
Lost records 'fuel digital drive'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4436414.stm

"More than two billion records and CDs have gone missing from personal record collections in the UK, fuelling digital music sales, according to research. The survey of 1,000 adults found theft or friends failing to return CDs contributed to depleted collections."

Huh, tell me about it.....

Bring it back tomorrow, I promise!t overnight?, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 10:16 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but if they have gone from one collection, they go into another. So, net loss is zero.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

I had v. low expectations of the documentary, but it was good.

Of course whole swathes of the music Peel liked and promoted never used the 7" format.

zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:26 (twenty years ago)

Was a little disappointed by the doc. I know they had a lot of 45s in his box, but the opening 20 mins was basically a White Stripes promo. Lots of unnecessary repetition too. Missed out whole swathes of the contents of the box too, eg: I'm dying to know why there are three(!!) Nilsson singles in there.

Still a v entertaining prog, but could have been much better. And good to hear Drag Racing again.

harvey.w (harvey.w), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

I am delighted that my band "The Negatives" single is in John's box (No 108). I accept that it is a surprise inclusion, but Detour Records (specialist mod/punk label) had previously described it as the number one UK punk record to own, which is good enough for me. Detour auctioned a vinyl 45 copy for £350 in the year 2000 and there were bids from Italy, Japan & Sweden amongst others. Detour records spent two years tracking the band down so they could re-release the songs on Bored Teenagers Volume 2 in 2000 on a compilation CD & vinyl LP. The total cost of the original recording was just £89.74 & only 1000 copies were made and sold. The punk population of Bradford bought 600 copies on the first day of release. I am aware that John Peel Played it on Radio 1 in 1979 and again in 2000 & 2004. The track was bootlegged on Bloodstains over Europe Vol 3 and a friend sold 400 casette copies to Israeli Soldiers who were heavily into Punk. All very strange!!!. The single "Love is Not Real" was a double A side with "Stakeout" on the flip side which I wrote. The single is listed at £40 in the Record Collector guide, which shows how much they know. I was lucky enough to meet John and I thanked him, not just for playing our record but for all the no hopers everywhere. I told him that I was glad we didn't sell more copies or otherwise it would never have become so collectible to such an extent that even collectors in Japan were aware of it. (I think he quite liked that). Three of the Negatives then formed the Mysterious Footsteps and we recorded tracks at Cargo Studio's in Rochdale. The engineer John Brierley played us a track he had recorded the previous day. It was only bloody "Love will Tear us a apart" by Joy Division, although I wouldn't have predicted it's legendary status from that first listen. In the pub next door to the studio was a lovely old lady who we spoke to and she was proud to tell us she was "Bill Oddies" mum. His single for John's Dandelion Label is also in the box which is a good point to stop this rambling. John told me that "Teenage Kicks" was still his number one song & that Medicine Heads "His Guiding Hand" was deeply personal to him. Only issue with the documentary was all the lovies finding comfort in picking out the singles they knew. They entirely missed the point that John would have looked through such a box to pick out the things he didn't know. God Bless Him - he was absolutely priceless and completely irreplaceable. PS I am happy that this music is alive & being shared!!!



Bob Robinson, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Bob - that's an amazing story, thanks for sharing it. And thanks for the great music. I think you're right about John going straight for the stuff he didn't know.

TRG (TRG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

i really like those two the negatives punk songs and the relaxing rock & roll of the nightcaps which comes after. very nice. i think i slowly get into the mood for the box. as tracer i had and still have some reservations concerning a couple of songs but overall this is excellent stuff i would never have listened to without this thread. thanks for everyone participating.

patita (patita), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

I was contacted by Chris Leeds, drummer on the Coronation St single. He confirmed that it should be credited to the I-Royals and not Izzy Royal (quoting his email):
"It turns out that it is the record I thought it was - the single was passed on to Warners after we made it, originally on the Media Marvels label -when WEA took it over they decided to change the name for some reason.

Yes, I am extremely chuffed to be in JP's personal collection - but I
wonder if he, or anyone else realises it's not a Jamaican thing - though it's listed on a few internet sales sites as that - in fact it was made in London, and mixed by Dennis Bovell's studio guy."

He thinks the label changed the name so as not to be confused with I Roy.

mine filemanagers saying its already 800M (i'm missing the electro hippies peel session btw. this is a hint) so i guess not. maybe if you down-encode some of the files it'll be ok (it tickles me that the record with the most surface noise here is encoded at 320bps)

Hooton 3 Car - Numena (043B)

CT, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

So of the remaining A-sides...

047 Jerry Byrd - Memories of Maria

can be found on a very cheap "country instrumental" compilation CD, which i'd be glad to pick up soon unless someone has the actual 45 (the b-side is not included in the CD)

072 Nilsson - Kojak Columbo

is on a pretty bad Nilsson record called "Duit on Mon Dei", again available pretty cheaply, I think.

081 Revelino - Step on high

I think I recall someone saying they had this..if not, the CD single is all over the place.

086 Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2

Very curious about this one--don't think it's ever been anthologized. Caro was a Cat Stevens protege.


090 Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies

my vote for hardest single to find on the list

C. O'Leary (jparker), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone know if Lee Perry "Black Belt Jones" is from that 70s Kung Fu Movie of the same name? I have it on video, but my VCR is busted, so I cannot investigate and IMDB was useless.

Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

my vote is that the lee perry single (like a lot of his stuff from that time) was influenced by the movie
there is also loads of upsetter/perry stuff similarly inspired by spaghetti westerns…

keefus (keefus), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

The Cleveland Crochet B side is available on CD, if anyone would like more cajun music in their collection (or knows someone who might have these):
http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/showoneprod.asp?TypeID=59&ProductID=3635
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005YAFW/yahoomusic2-20/ref%3Dnosim/103-7831091-0047023
The original 45 is quite a collector's item, as it was the first Cajun song to make the Billboard 100.

I'm pretty sure someone has the Revelino, and that it is en route?

I'll second the vote for Sipho Bhengu being the hardest to find. If anyone has South African or New Zealand contacts (he was popular there, it seems), this is the time to call in a favor.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

PRESS STATEMENT BY INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY

MURDERED IFP MAYOR TO BE BURIED ON SATURDAY

Durban: February 17, 2005

The IFP's KwaZulu-Natal Spokesperson, Mr Velaphi B. Ndlovu today announced that the Mayor of Imbabazane Municipality, Mr Sipho Bhengu, who was shot dead last Saturday evening, will be buried on Saturday, 19th February 2005.

The funeral will take place at his family home, KwaDlamini, in Ntabamhlophe and will begin at 10h00. (Ntabamhlophe is approximately 20 km's outside Giants Castle in KwaZulu-Natal.)

A high ranking delegation of IFP leaders will be present at the funeral to pay their last respects to Sipho Bhengu who has always been a shining example of what true service to the community really means.

The delegation will include the IFP's National Chairperson Dr Ziba Jiyane, the Secretary-General Rev. Musa Zondi, the Deputy Secretary-General Prof. Themba Msimang, the IFP Women's Brigade National Secretary Ms. Zanele Magwaza and KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Spokesperson Mr Velaphi Ndlovu, among others.

keefus, I'm sure it's not the same, as our Sipho died during a performance:

http://www.artsmart.co.za/music/archive/1892.html
"Sipho Bhengu (41) surely died the way he would have wished - in the middle of a concert and without any major trauma. He was appearing with the mbaqanga group Soul Brothers at a concert at King’s Park stadium to celebrate the first anniversary of Isolezwe, Independent Newspapers’ Zulu-language newspaper.

Soul Brothers was the last group on the programme and afterwards Sipho asked another member of the group to support him because he suddenly felt dizzy. He then collapsed and died before the emergency services arrived. "

I've got some other info about him if you scroll up, including a warning to googlers that there's another Sipho Bhengu.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

What's funny - as I'm sure at a couple of you have realized - is that a google search for "Tickey Dopies," the Bhengu A side, only brings up a handful of items and all of them are related to the Peel box. So a search done a month ago would have yielded nothing! Hopefully Kershaw writes back.

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i'm wondering if it's another mis-spelling or something.

i'll happily chip in if someone wants to buy that cajun cd. i can do paypal but am geographically challenged when it comes to buying american cds (postage and insurance costs on that one site effectively double the price of the cd)

that nillson cd varies wildly in price ($11.40 - $30.00):

Detour Records have put a page in deication to the negatives single as the inclusion in John Box has attracted a few enquiries for them. Link attached if anyone wants to see what the original 45 looked like. I know this is a big request but if anyone could repost any songs that haven't appeared in last 7 days, I would be very grateful.

Can't explain why, but I love the Mighty Avengers track. The White Stripes are everywhere, but they are just so ******* good!!!

Bob Robinson, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Please ignore if you wish, but didn't know this page existed. The follow up band to the Negatives. Main reason for posting is it has a picture of a bit of the actual mixing desk on which "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division was recorded.

you are right, you are asking for a lot there. just tell me three songs you'd like to have reposted and i will try my best tomorrow morning.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

Good heavens - I've just found all this - what a fantastic project. I'll very happily buy a compilation with the Scrugg song on as my contribution, if no one else has already ordered one. And I've got the Revelino 7" - so let me know if the one on order doesn't show up!

Dan Butt, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the offer. Three from anything not posted in the last seven days would take me three nearer to the set. Possibly something like Golinsky Brothers, Galactic Symposium & Charlie Feathers would be excellent as I don't know any of them. Like your listed tastes in music by the way.

Out of all the tracks available on John's Dandelion label, he urged me to listen to "The Asmoto Running Band" by Principle Edwards Magic Theatre. It may not have been a 45 and hence not in the box. He thought the song was slightly insane but strangely wonderful. It's worth a listen!!!

Regards

Bob

Hi Dan Butt - welcome! The more people helping the better. Go ahead and buy the Scrugg, I don't think anyone else has gotten to it yet. I'll be getting the Cajun Comp, like I said, with "Drunkard's Dream" but I don't expect to be able to YSI it for another week and half or so.

I have a zip of all the songs as of a week of go or so. Zipped it is 665+ mb. I tried to make a yousendit, but to no avail. I'll try and make a newer and yousendit if possible.

Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Thursday, 17 November 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

Looks like the Mel and Tim B-side has never appeared on CD - are the Stax-Volt singles boxes only A-sides? (So much for being complete.) The single can be had from any number of places though.

Alex,

Thanks for the file. I very much appreciate your efforts.

John Peel sent me his personal spare copy of a CD by Medicine Head called "New Bottles/Old Medicine" with a hand written note. If anyone is interested, I can upload pictures + the two tracks "His Guiding Hand" & "This Love of Old". These are already uploaded, but this CD was John's personal copy. It clearly meant a lot to him as the two tracks finished up in his box & more than one copy. Someone would have to briefly explain how I upload a song from windows media player + pictures.

I will also try assist with missing tracks.

Regards

Bob

hi just recently discovered this and you lot are doing sterling work....im happy to order some of the missing records from gemm but would like to know if anyone else has already ordered any of them...if not i will order the records tomorrow morning...ive got afriend in south africa phoning record shops for the sipho record so fingers crossed...many thanks to all of you for the tracks i was missing.kev.

kevin furr (kevfurr), Thursday, 17 November 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

Kevin-- just to re-emphasize, I did buy the Jerry Byrd 45, so that one's taken care of.

002 Al Ferrier - I'm Not Drinking More
008 Arthur K Adams - Wildwood flower

These are about as obscure, really, as the Sipho record...i've seen barely any information about them, esp. Adams.

C. O'Leary (jparker), Thursday, 17 November 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

I think I can throw light on the Marc Bolan interview. John effectively broke Marc Bolan by taking him around to perform on his DJ gigs. John & Mark were very close friends. Unfortunately, when Marc became famous he had no time for John and that hurt him very much. I need to hear the interview to decide whether John kept it for fond memories of friendship with Marc or to remind himself never to put his trust so deeply into one person (family excepted). A simple thankyou from Marc would have gone a long long way, but sadly it was never said. In Marc's defense, he was only 28 when he died and if the fame had gone to his head, he wasn't yet mature enough to deal with it for what it was. Just watched John inducted into the UK hall of fame. Typical that they have to wait until someone dies!!!

Bob Robinson, Friday, 18 November 2005 00:04 (twenty years ago)

Thanks to everyone who's ordering singles for this--it means a lot!

Just to catch everyone up (since there's a lot in the thread now): I'm still working local connections for the Pocket Fishrmen B-side. As far as I can tell it's never appeared on cd. The XL Capris B side is on its way to me from Australia, so it may take a couple of weeks to show.

patita (patita), Friday, 18 November 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

I am tracking the mighty avengers on ebay & hope to purchase so we can get the B side. I thought I recognised a unique quality in the So Much in Love A side. It was written by Jagger & Richard of the Rolling Stones!!!! I collect vinyl by the thousands anyway, so happy to purchase anything that is original to the box.

thanks domestic empire for seeding the documentary and to everyone for the songs. i have nothing to add except a couple of scraps of information about the few missing a-sides no one has already bought.
1) 36 Jane Bond, "hod rod lincoln" (with the bangles playing on it) is on an album called "politically correct." it can be found but it's not usually cheap.
2) 110 ramrods, "zig zag" was not an a-side. "ghost riders of the sky" was the a-side which has already been included.

riley, Friday, 18 November 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

I believe the Ken Colyers Jazzmen has already been gotten by DomesticEmpire and just awaits ripping (along with the Marc Bolan interview). I'm very happy to see folks jumping in to get the remaining singles!

patita (patita), Friday, 18 November 2005 02:05 (twenty years ago)

Hi Dan Butt,

More research:
the Firemen single was released on Le Cam, a label out of Fort Worth. I'll poke around locally and see what I can find. It has no real presence on google other than in the box. Here's a partial discography of the label (sadly missing Firemen):

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:52 (twenty years ago)

I believe the Marc Bolan interview single was pressed after he died, so it's more a memento of past friendship I would have thought. Also, that John Peel is on the b-side, right?

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 18 November 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

did anyone do anything about those gemm links i posted above? like i say i'm geographically challenged with respect to postal charges but if there's a tame american who'd like to buy them i'll be happy to chip in via paypal. 10 quid do? (about 17 dollars, minus paypal fees)

a bunch of these records do seem to be in the box because john is personally involved - the emerlist davjack thing, the bill oddie thing, the bolan interview. was 'song sung blue' ever a single?

koogs (koogs), Friday, 18 November 2005 09:39 (twenty years ago)

No, it wasn't.

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 18 November 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

Ah, the old Emerlist Davjack dispute rears its head again! I know we've no sure way of knowing, but I still reckon that the Emerlist Davjack in the box is the original single, not the Peel radio trailer, even though that was also pressed on 7". Two reasons:

1. Can't imagine that a radio trailer would bear the same name as one of the band's songs.

2. Can't imagine that the trailer would actually appear on the Immediate label (as listed) - it would be an acetate/white label.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Friday, 18 November 2005 10:11 (twenty years ago)

Well, it's tuff to know. Stick the documentary on slomo and see what 'peeks out'.

e.g. I can see a Vocalion single sleeve and think "That's the Roy Head single".

But short of someone picking it out and wacving it, I don't know.

The 'acetate', if that's what it is, might be in an 'Immediate' sleeve, causing the confusion.

and i think it is 8)

1. he dug it out to play laura cantrell in the 2003 christmas carol concert thing. on the same show he played Wine Wine Wine, also from the box.

2. the show lisitings from 20030501 include:
Unknown - 'The Thoughts Of Emerlist Dargeck 7" Promo' (Immediate R
ecords)

3. emerlist davjack is an lp as well as a track, this is a trailer for the entire lp (see #2). i can also point you to 5 other mistakes in the times list if you like 8)

4. it's added colour, because it contains john's voice and the pig laughing.

not that it matters - we have both so it's all good

koogs (koogs), Friday, 18 November 2005 10:29 (twenty years ago)

ok, scratch #1. it was Nina Nastasia on 20030501 that he dug it out for (i always get those two confused). Laura was 20031223 and he played both Wine Wine Wine and Don't Play Blue Eyes from the box. scratch #4 as well as it wasn't really proof. nevermind 8)

By my reckoning, we have already accumulated 79.3% of all the tracks in The Box, and 88.5% of the A sides. When you include all the tracks that are in the mail, that becomes 86.1% of all tracks and 93.9% of A sides. Good going, you lot (and keep going too!)

I have decided to take on the more demanding project of trying to purchase the physical vinyl 45's in this collection. I have just bought the Mighty Avengers Single. If anyone has original vinyl 45's of songs on the list & you want to sell on or recover your outlay, please let me know. I start from the advantage of not having to shell out £350 for the Negatives single.

I have tracked down a lo fi copy of the Upsetters Domino Game (at 24 kbs). It doesn't sound too bad (although it needs a bit of trimming at the end) - and somehow this kind of lo fi quality seems in the spirit of this project. It is humbly submitted as a "make do" until a better version comes along (I am currently on a wait list for a better version, but progress is painfully slow).

I have ordered Legion of Super Heroes from USA. May take time to arrive plus Mike Spenser if arrives before Kevs.

A number of the singles in the box where one side is listed are probably test pressings/acetates. The point is that "just Lust" Buzzcocks B side is not strictly in the box. There may be a couple of others like this. I would bet for example that Harry Nilsson gave John three one sided demo's, hence the personal connection that we believe underpins the box. This would apply to Alan Price, Status Quo etc

Would be great to get a good rip from both sides--our version of side A could use an upgrade (but many thanks to mike for digitizing and sharing it).

I have links for two tracks which include John Peel's intros and comments recorded from the same show...

Bloody The Golinski Brothers John Peel Show 1980/03/06

"People have been given the OBE for less, a lot less... and
I should be very happy to have that on a loop, so I could listen to
it again and again and again after the programme as I drive out to
the mountain vastnessess of Wallington" JP

http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2G09KGEJURHFQ3N361TP839RGR

Popatop Andy Capp John Peel Show 1980/03/06
"Popatop mamma, does that qualify as one of the best records ever? I
think it very possible does actually..." JP

i'll upload some of the other missing links when i get a moment. i should have done one for each day of advent thinking about it, so instead of a picture of santa chinning a large sherry you get a new tune.
could of done little jingles too, like:

"on the first day of christmas a stranger gave to me,
a track from surprise package three"

i am now officially a proper sad case! ho hum!

anyways, this lot will be coming to a website near you soon.

Wow matthew, that's quite the early xmas haul! Thank you!

for the record, I think we've established that it's the other Ken Colyers Jazzmen, but that's coming by way of DomesticEmpire.

For Bob (or other vinyl collectors): I've located someone with the Anemic Boyfriends for sale--email me and I'll put you in touch.

patita (patita), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

I haven't kept up.. I tried to figure out what I hadn't downloaded, and got lost when the list got really big.. But if anyone has the complete set (or complete up to a recent point) on slsk and will let me grab the whole lot - I'll do a torrent for everyone else...

Alright, TRG.. I'm going to swipe it. And I'll post a torrent as soon as it all downloads..

And, big regards to the anon_andrews.

I'm not sure that zip was ever available. The url says 'blocked' and the message on the page says 'The file has most likely exceeded its allotted bandwidth or has been removed by the original sender or a recipient.' What a tease!

i swear it's played before and that winamp would display the file info correctly but now neither works. can someone check please. ta. (DRM trouble?)

002 Al Ferrier - I'm Not Drinking More
008 Arthur K Adams - Wildwood flower
027 Dreamland Express - Groovy
034 Firemen - Old smokie
086 Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2
090 Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies
094 Spit Out - O from I

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

and if mark's link dies, here's a re-repost of matthew's zip:
http://s57.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1EPTHFUGGD5ZW298R3LCS6NK9R

Al Ferrier "I'm Not Drinking More" is available at UNC Chapel Hill's library, if anyone has access:
http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/htm/20245.html

This brings up the point that some of these singles may be in a university library and just not showing up in a search. Anyone with good research library contacts care to search a bit?

A bio of Arthur K Adams is here: http://www.blindpigrecords.com/artists/Adams,+Arthur.html
Anyone have connections with Blind Pig to try to talk to him and see if he has a copy?

Firemen, Dreamland Express, and Spit Out are not easily searched by either band or song. Whoever above said tha Sasha Caro was as obscure as Sipho Bhengu is right. The only extra lead is that his real name is Caro Minas, if anyone is good at locating people.

The wisdom of keeping some of these singles in a special box is now very clear.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

also, i imagine Peel played all the songs on air at some point--i don't know how extensively his shows were recorded by people over the years, but that might be the only hope to find Sipho and Sasha, for example.

patita – thank you on behalf of all of us (for keeping it peel...)

I like the idea that some of these (almost forgotten) recordings are now getting the love they deserve again, beyond the lifetime of their greatest patron. If Peelie had foreseen all of this I'm sure he would have treasured that record box even more.

It is a pity that some of these artists may never see payment for our pleasure, but with rare & unavailable items I think that spreading the word is more important.

From Margrave of the Marshes:

"Despite John's reputation for airing new music, those audiences who clutched him to their collective bosom in the late sixties and early seventies often reacted with depressing hostility and snobbishness whenever he played something other than rock. When John included for the first time in his Radio 1 show a Jamaican record, Andy Capp's "Pop A Top", and an African one, Sipho Bhengu's "Tickey Dopies", he wasn't prepared for such a negative reaction. He had, his core audience claimed, sold out. But to whom, exactly?"

Tea Are G, Thursday, 24 November 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

There's an article in this month's "Record Collector" about the box. Each single described and valued.

Mind you it's obvious the writer had no access to the box, as too many have "Unknown" next to label/details/value etc.

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 24 November 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

no new songs, just a tidy:
002 Don't Play Blue Eyes
109 Wine Wine Wine
- went back to original show recording and re-transfered / re-encoded, less digital clipping. still not perfect.

- split into separate tracks

Hi

Are we still missing G L Crockett "Did you ever love somebody". The vinyl 45 arrived today. I will put Mp3 on my computer. How do I upload the song please!

Bob

Bob Robinson, Saturday, 26 November 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

Bob: I can't help you precisely, as I've got a different kind of computer setup. Perhaps someone who has riped vinyl to digital format from a Windows machine can post something. I have found this basic guide:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/01/technology/circuits/01basi.html

You'll need some kind of music editing software--does anyone have a recommendation/suggestion?

patita (patita), Saturday, 26 November 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Sound-editing software - I'm not sure if it's the best, but it's both free and very popular:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

It's mentioned in this excellent-looking guide, which gives a great lowdown on doing vinyl -> MP3 transfers. It may be worth paying for some of the other software, though.
http://www.br0wn.co.uk/vinyltocd.htm

Yoz, Sunday, 27 November 2005 01:58 (twenty years ago)

Here's another much more detailed guide:
http://www.delback.co.uk/lp-cdr.htm

Yoz, Sunday, 27 November 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

I agree with yoz in recommending Audacity (Digital Audio Editor) though not regarding commercial software because this will do all you need:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

..you can't go far wrong. - it's free (open source GNU), really easy to use and does the job well. It's cross-platform so works with pc, linux & mac. You need the lame encoder to be able to produce an mp3:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3

If you prefer I can email you everything you need which can be unzipped and ready to go - doesn't even require installation as it'll run straight from it's folder.

For ripping CD's I recommend Cdex for all the above reasons:
http://www.cdex.n3.net

no sign of Revelino cd (081) i ordered and no reply to the grumpy email asking where it is. isn't the internet dreadful?

patita (patita), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

koogs
- checked out that link for Coronation Street - couldn't see it on their catalogue so I've e-mailed them.

Incidentally, I'd love to know how you got mail from Izzy Royal - as far as I know he is not a real person, just a name used to front the band.

Speaking of unreal people, for those who remember a certain stuttering square headed virtual TV presenter, the Coronation Street single was featured on the Max Headroom show during the eighties...

Finally downloading the torrent now. Hooray!

Jimmy Fausto: it's a trackerless torrent, and as I understand it only the Azureus client supports that at the moment. Luckily, there's a version for OS X: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

You may also need to fiddle with your firewall settings to get it to connect successfully. Email me if you need help.

http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1L4L0KIFPP3FZ03XYKTAO78VF4

anyway, glad you got the other one to work .....

D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E.: You are a golden god! I'm downloading the trackerless torrent just fine now so I'll probably stay on that one, but I did a quick test of the nontrackerless/trackerful torrent you just posted, and everything seems to be in order - I could find a seeder (you, presumably) and data started coming down successfully, so everything should be coo' for folks who don't happen to use Azureus. Thank you!

retort pouch (retort pouch), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 02:53 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for testing that..! Sorry it was such a pain. And thanks to TRG for letting me slsk all of his files to do this.

D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 02:59 (twenty years ago)

i too got an e-mail from (someone who pretended to be?) izzy royal via ilxor. it said something about us (ilm) leaving his record coronation street off peel's list and that he/they was proud that the single was in the box. very weird. i don't understand what he/they are talking about. koogs, are you sure that izzy royal is going to offer you the single with the permission to post it here?

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

> checked out that link for Coronation Street - couldn't see it on their catalogue so I've e-mailed them.

more precisely the 7" is here:
http://uk.geocities.com/snagdit@btopenworld.com/prod01.htm and search for 'coronation street'. izzy said he had 'a couple' in his basement, so maybe he'd be willing to sell some on. i'll ask him if he replies to my last email.

> Incidentally, I'd love to know how you got mail from Izzy Royal - as far as I know he is not a real person, just a name used to front the band.

he just emailed me, probably as a result of seeing my post above about wanting a better recording of his single.

his exact words were "I'm going to get one in to a digital format soon and then let's see what we can do about a better quality sound." and that he's hoping for the label to re-release it.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 10:16 (twenty years ago)

RECALL!! RECALL!!

Um, on my playthrough, I've just heared the Idle Race's "Here we go round the Lemon Tree", but I'm certain that's the exact same version as on my old MFP album "Fire Brigade" by the Move.

Are these not different?

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 10:30 (twenty years ago)

Hi all,

Here is The Squirrels' Alone Again (Naturally)

Milton S Poncho, Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:18 (twenty years ago)

the one's a cover of the other (which you probably know):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_Race
but i'm not sure which one we have.

i have the idle race version taken from one of the shows, possibly two copies:
20030218.html: The Idle Race - 'Here We Go Around The Lemon Tree (7")' (Liberty)
20040902.html: The Idle Race - 'Here We Go Round The Lemon Tree' (LP - Light At The End Of The Road) (See For Miles Records)

i can check tonight.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

actually i posted one of the above on oct 27th. mike diva posted the a and the b *together* the very next day (i think i used his copy as it was better quality). i'd say we have the right one.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'd state my reputation on this:

That's the same version on the Move's "Fire Brigade" album.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Although, I should say:

I have the wrong version.

Could someone repost Mike Diva's one?

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

Roy Wood was sitting at the next table to us in our local fish restaurant last Friday night... I could have asked!

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:40 (twenty years ago)

listening to it again it does sound different to the one i'm more familiar with from hearing it at home. will repost the one from the show.

ok, idea stolen from someone way upthread. cd cover and tray art:

Very smart looking inlays, koogs - nice job

retort pouch (retort pouch), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

um, the cover thing seems to be a bit short but i'm guessing that's the printer doing that as the png is exactly 120x120mm and the tray doesn't suffer from the same problem (being oriented the other way). would be nice to get it all on one A4 sheet but it would mean doing away with the picture on the inside, which i like. also toyed with the idea of an inner tray picture for use with those transparent trays or double cases but couldn't lay my hands on another decent picture in the time available last night. the only difficult bit was the spines...

RECALL - RECALL

Um, the 060 B side "Revelation Dub" version of "Sipple Out Deh" is in fact the b-side of "War in a Babylon". I know they are the same song, just not the same version.

I know it's unlikely that anyone will easily find this, and it was nice to hear this b-side again anyway.

Just saying.

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 December 2005 10:08 (twenty years ago)

i can't quite parse your sentence mark. is the revelation dub wrong or sipple out deh?

it's on Gemm btw, http://www.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&a_refno=GML757867382

koogs (koogs), Thursday, 1 December 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

Sipple is right.

Revolution dub is actually War dub.

Have now got the Christmas Record Collector edition with the John Peel Box article. I have just bought a Charlie Feathers Acetate for Tongue Tied Jill. The actual vinyl is valued by RC between £450 & £2000, so in theory, the acetate should be worth more. I think I might just have made a particularly fortunate purchase.

when did the ken colyer stuff turn up? i must have missed those. any chance of a repost (can't see them on either torrent).

dumdum, Monday, 5 December 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

They didn't turn up, I don't think anybody has them.

TRG (TRG), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

most of those surpise package things were collected (white stripes, wildbunch omitted) on cd (£10.99):

i don't understand how we can have 2/3rds of that ep but are still missing the real pills track.

or, 7" is $4 from here:

xpost:
we have some ken colyer but not the one they showed in the documentary, i think. wasn't the listed track on two releases? or something. we have:
052: Isle Of Capri / St Phillip Street Breakdown
052: Shine / Gentofte Blues

koogs (koogs), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

they weren't on tracer hand's list of ones still outstanding, though, which is why i asked. i've asked my dad to look through his jazz stuff for them.

dumdum, Monday, 5 December 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

i think it boils down to:

http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-003a.htm (which we have)
vs
http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-006a.htm (which we don't)

the Times list is very short on details.

koogs (koogs), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

actually, didn't this crop up in interviews? (the walters interview that was on bbc6 recently?) where he points out that one of the tracks has lonnie donnigan going 'Oi!' at the beginning.

kevin furr (kevfurr), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

dumdum: right, ok- I missed that on Tracer's list and was looking at Alex's.

Good news, I have the Real Pills track, just got it! Will post in a few hours. (Thanks Steve, if you read this thread.)

TRG (TRG), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

RE. Ken Colyer E.P.

The definitive answer as to which ep of the two is in the box is this one: http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-006a.htm

I can be confident of this for two very good reasons.

1/ We get a glimpse of the cover in the channel 4 documentary - it's green (tempo exa 31): If I ever cease to love; Bucket got a hole in it
Wildcat blues; Wabash blues, rather than red (tempo exa 26)!

2/ They play the lead track, 'If I ever cease to love' in the background. I recognised this immediately because that's the ep I bought from ebay which I never uploaded because I thought someone sourced a better version somewhere up there in a previous thread, however I got that bit wrong and obviously we still need me to upload these Colyer tracks - Sorry about that. I'll get onto it!

TRG (TRG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Even if some tracks are still missing, this is going to make a superb Christmas present for a couple of people I know :)

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 03:33 (twenty years ago)

OK, I am toying with making a giant Christmas gift to you all by making a torrent of my Festive Fifty archive which is very nearly complete. I have found these torrent creation instructions upthread:

What you do (and what I would do if I hadn't already used up most of today's free time on this already) is:
1: Create a big folder for the files
2: Create subfolders for each of the 142 seven-inches
3: Drop the existing files in the right folders, with a consistent naming scheme
4: Create a .torrent of all that (possibly using TorrentZip: http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/mameftpgroup/index.php?full#tzip )
5: Hand out the torrent so that everyone can start downloading (and encourage those who have most of the files in the torrent already to put them in the right places so the torrent gets seeded much faster)
6: When new files are added, update the .torrent file and publish it - it'll only download the new stuff

Am I right in saying that by using this approach the files don't then need to be uploaded - that you, in effect, become the only seed from the start and the files are leeched directly from you until some people have got far enough to become seeders as well? Basically it's already ordered and named properly, and at the stage to be torrent zipped. Am I correct in saying I just do that, then YSI the torrent?

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

nice one thanks trg

kevin furr (kevfurr), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

Aldo - those instructions were for making a torrent of the Peelbox archive as it expanded, so that new torrents could be created of the archive without making everyone download everything again.

If you've already got a complete fileset for what you want to share, you can just create a torrent using whatever you find easiest (I believe Azureus has some built in tools)

Yoz, Tuesday, 6 December 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

The heart of the question is about uploading to a website though, as some of the stuff I've read implies I need to do. The impression I get from upthread here, however, is that if I create a trackerless torrent and YSI here then I don't need to upload the stuff anywhere, that I can just be the first seed and it'll be self-sustaining after that.

If that's right then I can do this really quickly, if not I'll need to knock up somewhere to upload it to.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

that's a great idea you have there with the festive fifty, aldo. but why don't you just zip all files and ysi the big zip file. it will take some time but i think ysi allows files which are up to 1 gb big. disadvantage is of course that there are only 25 download slots (probably more but that's what ysi says). after one week the link will be down in any way though. maybe rapidshare is better? in any case you do not have to upload the stuff to your webspace.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

not sure if i understood your question, aldo. forget my last post. i am not an expert on torrents. but yousending a torrent somehow seems to imply an upload to somewhere, no?

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Upthread, one of the larger YSI'd zip files seemed to go off very quickly.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

alex, you'd only upload the bittorent meta files so that people know where to find it, not the entire data file.

what's missing from your festive fifty archive aldo? there was someone on some fall list somewhere (don't know details) who was very close to finishing the same thing.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

however it's resolved aldo, let me be the first to say thanks for your offer to share such an excellent Peel thing!

patita (patita), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

Can any one post/repost :
Rizzo - Cathy :
Pocket Fishrmen yr story :
The Mighty Avengers - Something they Say :
Ken Colyers Jazzmen If I ever Cease To Love + Bucket Got A Hole In It + Wildcat Blues + Wabash Blues :

All my stuff is on soulseek as ezone17

Thanks.

ezone, Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

but why don't you just zip all files and ysi the big zip file. it will take some time but i think ysi allows files which are up to 1 gb big.

The folder is 6gb unzipped, so somehow I don't see it coming down far enough.

I can't remember what's missing, to be honest, but it's only about 5 tracks and none of them are that old - it's just recent things I haven't bothered tracking down.

I have to go out for an hour or so now, but will have a bash at this later and see if I can get it to work.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

all those haven't been posted yet here, ezone. is all your stuff the rest including the other missing tracks i mentioned? i don't use soulseek. if someone (using soulseek) could ysi those, that would be phantastic.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

If the folder is 6gb one possibility is torrenting it at themixingbowl.org.

PS echoing alex in mainhattan's request for any tks that are still only available on slsk.

Cheers

dumdum, Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

I doubt slsk is much help for any that we're missing at this point. I've tried and tried.

TRG (TRG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

matthew hodge indicated upthread (on Nov 22) that the Pocket Fishrmen would be enroute, as well as some others.

as for some of the other missing tracks, now is the time for an xmas miracle.

patita (patita), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

OK.

There is one track missing from the 'non' Festive Fifty year (1977), and a Leftfield track incomplete in 2000. For some reason 1997 has gone fairly awry and is missing about 20 (but I'm sure us good people can easily fill in the gaps).

http://s63.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3KQT7A6R1RMUE1APMUO3OZLQJQ

Can somebody please start this and let me know it's working OK?

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

xmas miracle = sheila peel,or son tom, ripping the ACTUAL 45s and posting them up.

Stoecker, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:53 (twenty years ago)

It's occurred to me, as it probably has to others, that Bob's point about several of these probably being one-offs or acetates would explain why the Times list only includes the A-side for several songs, i.e. the Nilsson ones especially. Maybe those that are listed as such could lose their B-sides for this project, both cutting down the file size and also presumably matching what was actually in there better?

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

(and cutting down on the Nilsson quotient)

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

I have not gotten the torrent to work. I am using a mac though, so I dont know if that could be the source of the problem.

Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

I got the torrent to work. Disregard last post.

Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

dum de dum. spending the last hour of my day searching for peel box stuff...

clague / siren track is available on the first siren lp, called 'siren' and has been out on cd twice, once as a two-lps-on-one-cd thing:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000AQGO/qid=1133978689/sr=1-19/ref=sr_1_19/104-2426966-6948743?s=music&v=glance&n=5174

the rabbits lp, also credited to siren, claims to have the two dandelion singles tacked on the end but doesn't include 'I Wonder Where' (although The Stride is on it)

am again puzzled at how we can have 75% of #125 but be missing the Rizzo track.

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

the GL Crockett 037 is on ebay.co.uk for (currently) £4 (although a: it's on chief rather than checker and b: current high bidder is elvis presley!)

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Koogs. Just bought the Siren twofer. I like Coyne a lot, and the one Siren track I've heard, so it seems like a worthwhile investment. Gemm had it for much cheaper than Amazon. My cajun comp never did arrive (though we no longer need that track) and Yami Bolo never did write back (though there may not be a B-side) so I hope this isn't another deadend.

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

matthew, how did you get the torrent to work? it's open now in azureus (on a mac too) but showing now seeds/leechers. any tips?

dumdum, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

and that should have read "...showing no seeds/leechers". dur.

dumdum, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

the missing Al Ferrier A side should be posted this evening.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

I was actually right the first time. I did not get it to work. I got all the filenames and folders, but nothing worked and the whole thing took up only 8 KB. I am not that adept at Torrents so cannot figure out why that would happen.

Sorry about my confusion, It is been a long day of work on very little sleep after a long night of drinking.

Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

no problem. i've tried it with a version of azureus that handles trackerless torrents, but still no joy. never mind.

dumdum, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

Hmm. I'll try creating another one, playing with some of the settings and see what happens. I must have done something wrong somewhere.

Hang on, I've tweaked it a little from within. Can anybody see it now? (I've only just found myself for the first time)

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

I can't download the torrent. It wants me to enter a premium code, even though I clicked on the free link. Maybe it's been downloaded too many times already?

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 December 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

I've been lurking here for a while, and although I'm not a Peel fanatic by any stretch (I know him by reputation and through the Slits and Gang of Four and my saintly Only Ones Peel Sessions), I find this a fascinating endeavor.

OK, props to Patita, here are the Al Ferrier sides (m4a format, sorry), thanks to the UNC Chapel Hill Southern Folklife Collection. Now if someone could only explain why this ended up in his box-- have you all given up on the answer to this question for any of these???

I hope this comes through ok. Enjoy.

Cam Patterson (Cam), Thursday, 8 December 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Cam! It's great to have the other Ferrier song, came through fine. I guess he included this, and the others, because he liked it the most among his 45s, no real mystery.

TRG (TRG), Thursday, 8 December 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

excellent Cam, thanks a lot for this!

I'm guessing that this is in the box because he'd had a copy when he was in the States. Who knows, though. Hell, my record box contains a copy of "How Much is that Doggie In the Window" that I had as a kid.

patita (patita), Thursday, 8 December 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

i'm not a peel fanatic either cam, so i truly have no clue about this... ferrier was a big fresh name in country boppity pop in the fifties but that single is a totally different style, nashville sound type of thing, from like 30 years later or something.. ?

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 8 December 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

in any case you have raised the bar on contributions with that research i think!

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 8 December 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

dean coster (charlieblimey), Monday, 12 December 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Hi. Another lurker here enjoying everyone else's work on this project. I just downloaded the Ferrier tracks thanks to the gentleman from UNC and was thinking about his "Why?" question and also why there is very little discussion of the music on this thread.
Perhaps it doesn't need to be said, but obviously this is not the definitive list of Peel's favorite songs, but rather 45's that meant something to him for some reason. Still I've found nothing but pleasure from all the tracks I've downloaded. It seems to me that what's so great about Peel is that for someone known as a taste-maker, his taste was always eclectic and intuitive and he was looking not for greatness so much as for singular moments of joy and charm. I came across this review of some Hornby book he did a couple of years ago and I thought I'd paste it here because it gives a good idea of some his thoughts on lists and favorites.

Wot? No Gene Vincent?

That's the great thing about lists. You just can't help arguing with them. John Peel runs a connoisseur's eye over Nick Hornby's 31 Songs

Sunday February 23, 2003
The Observer

31 Songs
by Nick Hornby
Viking £12.99, pp208

This is the first Nick Hornby book I've read. Shocking, but true. Surely, people have said, you must have read Fever Pitch. 'But it's about Arsenal,' I have replied, remembering the pain of the 1950 Cup Final, when they beat Liverpool 2-0. Happily, 31 Songs is not about Arsenal. And, of course, it is a list.

Men, it is often asserted, like lists, but speaking as a man I'm not sure this is true. Doing a little quiet but important research at a birthday party recently, I asked a number of men present whether they cared, in any special sort of way, for lists. It seemed they did not particularly, although they were quite interested in a) loft insulation and b) restoring vintage cars.


There was a time, about 15 years ago, when I wrote on popular music for this paper. For five years, I crisscrossed the country (at my own expense, I want you to know) reviewing everything from Bob Dylan at Wembley (awful) to post-punk bands with silly names I've forgotten in venues without a single one of the emergency exits required by law (often rather good).

The one thing I learnt from this - and it is something Hornby acknowledges early in his book - is that it is much easier to write about things you don't like than things you do. So this, being as it is a list - with extensive explanations that, on occasion, read like apologies - of the author's favourite records, must have been a bugger to write.

Hornby further acknowledges the frustration the music-lover can feel when people he or she is attempting to interest in the best bits of records simply won't listen. Only last week, fired by a positive review of yet another compilation of the early works of Gene Vincent, a review that majored on the astonishing guitar playing of 'Galloping' Cliff Gallup of the Blue Caps, I attempted to interest a Radio 1 co-worker in Gene's 'Jump Back, Honey, Jump Back'. (There are no Gene Vincent records in Nick Hornby's Hot 31.)

'Why,' I marvelled, 'does Cliff start his solo from there and how, in a matter of seconds, does he get back to there?' But, despite the fact that 'Jump Back, Honey, Jump Back' is less than two minutes long, my colleague had lost interest and was talking about tops with someone else.

The feted author of High Fidelity and About a Boy is unusual, I think, in considering all of a song lyric rather than fragments. This is due, in part at least, to what he describes as his need to 'solve' songs; to, as it were, wrestle them to the ground, consider them in detail, extract from them their core meanings and by so doing achieve some sort of completion.

I'm not with him on this. Not at all. Two of the records that would be under consideration for a place on any comparable list I might make would be the Golinski Brothers' 'Bloody' and Roy Buchanan's version of 'Lonesome Fugitive', but I've never seriously attempted in-depth analysis of these songs as songs.

For me, it is enough that the Golinski Brothers' obscure but, trust me, unforgettable record includes the lines: 'Still you gotta have a laugh [pause] ha ha ha ha' and: 'Send my Giro to Cairo', and 'Fugitive' the couplet: 'I raised a lotta cane back in my younger days. My momma used to pray my crops would fail.' I mean, come on. Beat that.

And there's a bit in another Gene Vincent song, 'Gonna Back Up Baby', which is completely unintelligible, yet I love it. It sounds as though Gene is singing: 'Well, I'm gonna cuckmer cuckmunter you gahdin.' When I was younger and, frankly, a little crazy, I would play this bizarre extract to acquaintances and offer them my entire record collection if they could, without consultation, decipher the words. No one took me seriously and, of course, when I played them the track, they started talking about tops and other leisurewear within seconds of its starting anyway. I don't think 'Gonna Back Up Baby' lends itself to being 'solved', at least not by anyone outside protective custody.

But let's look now at Nick Hornby's 31. (By the way, I've forgotten why he picked 31 rather than the more conventional 20 or 40 or even 100. I think he just did.) His reasons for choosing each record are laid out at some length, otherwise there'd be no book, and if you don't like the songs yourself then his sophistries are not going to persuade you that you should.

I'm going to have to step out of the closet here and confess that there are 11 records listed that I simply don't know at all, and at least three I don't like. It would be a bit fatuous to list these, especially as one is by Bruce Springsteen and it seems to be Hornby's absolute all-time favourite and he has harsh things to say about people who don't like Springsteen (we're smart people who are dumb, it seems). Then there is, by a pretty coincidence, one artist and song listed - Rufus Wainwright and 'One Man Guy' - that I'd replace with the artist's father, Loudon, and 'Father and Son'. This song I always imagine to be about me and my son William, because the words fit so well.

But there are four tracks here that would at least make the Final Eliminators of any comparable list I might make. These are by Richard and Linda Thompson, OV Wright, Jackson Browne and, finally, the Velvettes. The last named is probably the only one that would be in my final 31. I think Nick Hornby and I would agree that you should hear it as soon as you possibly can. Trust us. And don't talk while it's playing.

Morris Dickstein, Monday, 12 December 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

Hi Morris, there's another thread where we discuss the songs. I loved that Peel piece but hadn't read it since it came out so it was great to reread, esp since I'm now familiar with the Golinski Bros "Bloody," which has been stuck in my head quite a bit recently.

alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 12 December 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

With the exception of a few tracks, and with forthcoming contributions from Bob, Kevin and a few others, I think we are getting into the realms of the ridiculous in terms of the availability of this music. It will be interesting to see how this progresses from here.
I do have the Anemic Boyfriends and Clague singles but the condition of the vinyl is appalling (they were only ones i could find) and it's a bit of an insult to the artist to post them up. The Ken Colyer Exa 31 is on its way, as is the Big Three seven, so I will be able to post those up too when I get a chance. I'll do the missing Clefs of Lavender Hill B Side as I have a copy of that one now as well. Unfortunately though, I think it's a case of wishful thinking for this to be completed by Christmas but you never know.....

The version of the MC5's "Looking at You" in the torrent is the wrong version. The one in the torrent is from the Jon Landau-produced Back in the USA (1970), and it's not nearly as bad-ass as the original "A-Square" single version (which is what was in Peel's box).

http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=20Y5RW8HK4F012IPK57I3SZ4Z1

This one was ripped from a Rhino comp called The Big Bang! Best of the MC5 (EAC/Lame --alt-preset standard).

elvissinatra (elvissinatra), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

You're right, that version is better. I assume it's the same one from the Roir release, know if that's true? I always thought every version from the Roir release was superior to the other ones.

TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

the version of borderline on bootleg cd called thunder express i think is the a-square b side its 3.14 min long

Ooh, I've been unable to download this week. I'll need to catch up in a bit.

Yeah, I suspected that version of "Borderline" was off the live album, not the single.

Hi,

I am still around & have purchased about 40 of the Peel singles on vinyl. Precious ones I have so far are The Factory, Boards of Canada & 3 of the 5 Charlie Feathers. Some of the rarer White Stripes stuff is really going to cost!! I have now worked out that I can play the vinyl into my Tascam digital recorder & then burn it onto CD & then upload. I have the songs on MP3 Windows Media Player. How do I attach to this email please!!!

Regards

Bob

Bob Robinson, Thursday, 15 December 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Here you go Bob:
http://www.yousendit.com/howdoesitwork.aspx

Youjust need to know where the song file is stored on your machine, and browse to the file through YSI.

You can then take the link that's given after a successful upload and paste it in the message here.

patita (patita), Thursday, 15 December 2005 21:08 (twenty years ago)

This is a test upload & not JP related. This band only ever sold 60 copies of their single in the UK. Yet one of those copies made it to a radio station in New York & received regular airplay so that are known by a few fans in the USA. Hope you enjoy it.

OK I am happy now. The second link seems to have worked. Forgive my uploading Boys From The East. I thought they were a fabulous little group from Bradford UK who had zero success in the uk in the early 1980's. By a miracle they seem to have been noticed in new York USA, which I only picked up from the ebay link below. (The band had no idea about this until I spoke to a member last week) By way of reparation, I will upload the Mighty Avengers & G L Crockett B Sides at the weekend. Roshell Anderson is on the way.

great work bob,
not wishing to sound picky, but is there any way of saving the files as mp3 rather than wma?

patita (patita), Saturday, 17 December 2005 22:55 (twenty years ago)

Hey Bob - can I help you get some MP3s out?
What software are you using to record from vinyl?

Yoz, Sunday, 18 December 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Hi Yoz,

It is quite a long route. I record the vinyl into a TASCAM digital recorder. I then very slightly mix it to try get it as clear as possble. I can't get rid of background crackle though if it is there on the record. I then burn a CD & upload the CD onto my PC via Windows Media Player. I can then upload to yousendit. My son has an MP3 player & he might be able to assist. I suppose he can record the CD I have burned into MP3 & if I can the upload the MP3 onto my PC, the problem should be solved.

Regards

Bob

Bob Robinson (rob1nson), Sunday, 18 December 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

PS

I am sulking this morning because I got outbid on Sasha Caro despite having bid £51 (It is worth £25). If only the purchaser knew how many people he has deprived of a bit of Xmas happiness!! Oh Well, if at first you don't succeed & all that!!

Bob Robinson (rob1nson), Sunday, 18 December 2005 11:00 (twenty years ago)

I just found this page for the first time and the different links to different songs is a bit overwhelming!

Is there much chance of the whole collection being put together into one torrent or something?

thanks

Mark Fairlie, Sunday, 18 December 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Hey Bob - Those sound great, thanks for getting them up!!

Mark - there is a torrent (not sure it's working right now), scroll up or use 'find on page.' Also, a lot of people have them all at Slsk. But yeah, you have options in terms of getting them all at once.

TRG (TRG), Sunday, 18 December 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

Bob -

The entire thing, except for the last ten or so, is available as two torrents here:
http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/peelbox

The remaining tracks will be torrented soon - I was waiting for more to trickle in...

D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Sunday, 18 December 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

(and if the torrent doesn't work, email me - If my PC is off, there may not be other seeders right now...) right.knewitATgmail.

D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Sunday, 18 December 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Bob,
I highly recommend taking a look at this page:
http://www.br0wn.co.uk/vinyltocd.htm

It talks about plugging the turntable directly into the PC, but you can do that with the TASCAM, or even rip WAV files off the CDs and pull those into Audacity. (I would use DBPowerAmp - www.dbpoweramp.com - to do the ripping, it's fast and easy. Just make sure you rip to WAV format at 44.1khz in full stereo.)

That page also has some recommendations of software for the removal of vinyl noise.

Once you've got the WAV in a decent state, Audacity can export MP3 - just make sure you download the lame_enc.dll file and tell Audacity it's there. Then save the MP3s as 192 Kbit/s or higher.

This tutorial is pretty good for getting started with Audacity:
http://www.edhsonline.org/other/audacity/

Yoz, Monday, 19 December 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

Hi

i have managed to purchase software called Magix. this allows me to import from CD clean up crackle & clicks etc & export as MP3 I will reload the tracks in a cleaned up state shortly.

keefus (keefus), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

yes, excellent work Bob!

would it be impolitic to contact the winner of the Sasha Caro? I haven't been able to come to a decision on it myself.

patita (patita), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

i would say: go for it!
i'm sure whoever they are, they would be interested in this project and could be persuaded(!!)

k

keefus (keefus), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

damn, apparently you can only send a message if you're the seller, or if that person has any active auctions (he doesn't). ah well.

anyone else have ideas?

patita (patita), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

I thought that's how they worked things, damn! I used to contact winners when I was really poor and before they changed things. But no, Patita, I've no ideas.

TRG (TRG), Thursday, 22 December 2005 01:10 (twenty years ago)

yeah, I guess I remembered the old rules. ah well, maybe another copy will surface. Bob is on the hunt, and who knows what will turn up.

patita (patita), Thursday, 22 December 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

long-winded, but…
could you contact the seller and ask him to
a) pass on a message, or
b) give you the winner's email


or
c) wait for another to turn up…

Thanks patita and for your recent get well message :)

DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Monday, 26 December 2005 04:58 (twenty years ago)

Sorry to be dim, but I can't seem to get any of the MP3s from the torrent to play. Is it something to do with firewalls?

Jon Dennis, Monday, 26 December 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

not enough info to tell.

can you normally download torrents?
what torrent client are you using?
importantly, have the files downloaded fully?

lately, Monday, 26 December 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

I've never done it before. I downloaded Bit Torrent from the BT homepage (http://www.bittorrent.com/)
Aha. I think it's possible the files haven't downloaded fully. How long does it take?

Jon Dennis, Monday, 26 December 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

In fact, two hours later and they haven't downloaded at all. Zero percent.

Jon Dennis, Monday, 26 December 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

maybe no one is 'seeding' the torrent. i tried to grab the torrent last month and no one was sharing (seeding) it.

download speed depends on how many ppl are seeding & how fast their and your internet connection is.

in the bittorrent client it should tell you what % of the file has downloaded (if any).

possible solution - try and use the azureus torrent client (google: azureus) - i think the torrent was set up in such a way that only this client works.

but again, if no one is seeding the client, then you wont be able to get anything

boo, Tuesday, 27 December 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

Before the holiday I'd attempted to get the festive fifty torrent with no luck... but I wasn't using Azureus. I'll try again with it (though it confounds me with its l33tness).

patita (patita), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

i use azureus and tried to get the 6 gig 'festive 50' torrent. no one was seeding it, so i deleted it.

:(

boo, Wednesday, 28 December 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

here's wishing that the remaining tracks come to us early in the new year! cheers everyone!

Hi all,

first time this awesome page came to my attention and I must say it's a real treat: thanks so much for all the effort and work involved - this is really neatly done!!

Are you still interested in K. Coyne's/Siren's 'I Wonder Where'? If this is the case, please provide me with an e-mail adress where I can send it to (will be an mp3 - file).

Q.: is there any updated list of songs available for free download, but one where the link is NOT expired?

Cheers,

Dirk, Germany.

Dirk Huppertz, Tuesday, 3 January 2006 11:48 (twenty years ago)

Hi Dirk, We have Siren's "I Wonder Where." There might be people missing it though so you can go to yousendit.com, upload the song, and then post the link here. As for your second question, I'm not sure anybody is seeding a torrent right now. Second place to check is slsk, a number of people have the complete set there.

TRG (TRG), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

To catch us up after the holidays, here's a recap on the status so far. According to what I have in the spreadsheet, we're still without any leads on these:
Arthur K Adams: Wildwood flower/It's a wild, wild, wild, wild wildwood flower
Dreamland Express: Groovy/u.f.o
Firemen: Old smokie/Louie's theme
Sipho Bhengu: Tickey dopies/I saluti
Spit Out: O from I/Tan/Rot'n'roll

Various folks have indicated that they have these (but they haven't been uploaded yet):
Easy Teeth: Car Noise
Ken Colyers Jazzmen: all (If I Cease to Love is the correct A side)
Pocket Fishrmen: Yr Story
Sasha Caro: all (lucky catch)
The Legion of Super Heroes: all (or did I imagine this?)

Missing B sides (don't know if anyone has them):
Clefs of Lavender Hill: First Tell Me Why
Greenhornes: Stayed Up Last Night
Mickey Lee Lane: With Your Love
Ray Martin: Bell of the Ball
Roshell Anderson: Such a Beautiful Thing
Stanley Winston: It's Alright
The Big Three: If You Ever Change Your Mind

Thanks again to everyone who's bought the singles, called in favors, or gone to great lengths to get missing tracks. We're within range of completion I think!

Feel free to amend what I have here if I've got the status of anything wrong.

patita (patita), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 05:30 (twenty years ago)

i lost out on the Big Three thing on ebay over christmas but wasn't too fussed as someone had said they had a copy in the meantime (there are a couple of cds available which contain the track but it appears under a different name, details upthread)

thanks morris! didn't realize that I'd missed so many.

I downloaded a wma to mp3 converter, but have not tried the actual conversion yet (had to switch machines, hence the missing files etc). I'll give it a shot tonight and post if I get it working (or not).

patita (patita), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

lots of things will convert wma to mp3 - winamp has a diskwriter plugin, gold wave will read them and can write them out as anything (and also gives you the options of triming the ends, removing the worst of the pops and normalising)

have actually done all this already for those two and the previous wmas but files are at home... maybe tomorrow.

kevin furr (kevfurr), Sunday, 8 January 2006 16:10 (twenty years ago)

I've been looking for dates on all the undated singles (wanted to be able to order the box chronologically) It's nearly done -- and when it is, I'll post the spreadsheet with dates (never done a YSI before, but how hard can it be?)

But for now, I've got a few corrections to the list that I stumbled upon in my search:

a. Meow is actually Maow see: http://www.mintrecs.com/bands/speak/maow/maow.html

b. The Henchmen is actually the Hentchmen

c. Travis Wammack: the B side is Scratchy, not Catchy

d. possible correction on the Versatiles: the band name “Jr. Byles & The Versatiles” with the same song (Cutting Razor) is on a 2003 CD Lee Perry compilation titled “Cutting Razor: Rare Cuts From the Black Ark”

Also, a note on Peel’s apparent White Stripes/Jack White fixation:
You can guess from the list that Peel was collecting a bunch of White Stripes/Jack White related singles, but I had no idea how many until I found this amazing website:
http://www.grunnenrocks.nl/index.html?bands/w/whitestripes.htm

Click on “Jack White’s History” to find the connections to Upholsterers, 2 Star Tabernacle, Greenhornes, Dirtbombs, Hentchmen, Soledad Brothers,Surprise Package/Flying Bomb Records. For instance, Jack White co-mixed the Greenhornes single that’s in the box.

biscuit, Sunday, 8 January 2006 22:55 (twenty years ago)

I haven't been able to get any of the torrents to work either. The tracker seems to be down.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Sunday, 8 January 2006 23:11 (twenty years ago)

biscuit - you're right that meow and maow are the same band, but that single was released as meow whereas the album was released as maow.

scroll down to the nov 9th post:

TRG (TRG), Sunday, 8 January 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, TRG. Maybe there’s something else the collected knowledge on this thread can help with: The Legion of Superheroes. The only hint I found is this link, to a playlist on the site of the “joke” classical guy, Peter Schickele/PDQ Bach!
http://www.schickele.com/cgi-bin/playlist.pl?program=11

He lists two tracks, no date: CERF/FRITH/WINTER: “The Great Name Dropper (Part 1)”, The Legion of Super Heroes, AMY 971 (45 rpm) and CERF/FRITH/WINTER: “The Great Name Dropper (Part 2)”, The Legion of Super Heroes, AMY 971 (45 rpm)

Looks like The Legion of Superheroes may not be a band name, but the name of an album. Maybe the person who posted the one track we have has more hints? I’m stumped.

biscuit, Sunday, 8 January 2006 23:51 (twenty years ago)

That's listed by 'composer', not Artist.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 9 January 2006 09:20 (twenty years ago)

didn't someone read out Frith's name during the documentary? i remember hearing names i didn't know from the list.

(ah, yes, michael palin about 3:15 minutes in, "Mike Frith and Chris Cerf")

koogs (koogs), Monday, 9 January 2006 11:18 (twenty years ago)

christopher cerf did music for the muppets and sesame street. michael frith was also part of the jim henson creative team. don't know about winter. "great name dropper" was probably some one-off single as legion of superheroes.
and, by the way, he did say "clarence frogman henry" twice.

morris, Monday, 9 January 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

OK, I've completed adding dates for all the tracks into the spreadsheet (the one from upthread- thanks to the original author!). I found it a really cool experience to listen to the box in a semblance of chron order.
http://s61.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1MCI1RUT8YOBV3UWC97GYMNSPC

(Caveat: It's not authoritative -- some of the added dates are estimates, all depend on possibly erroneous info from the web, and a couple resist dating entirely -- but it's something.)

biscuit, Monday, 9 January 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

I have now got about 50 of the vinyl singles from the box. Would anyone like to post the latest want's list A & B sides. I have a feeling that the Roshell Anderson B side is wanted but most of the singles I have, we have.

keefus (keefus), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

keefus - you need those as mp3s? converting is pretty easy - there are dozens of free downloads that will do it in a second. but if for some reason you're not able to do that i'll repost them as mp3s after the weekend.

TRG (TRG), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

hey trg
i'd love those as mp3s but what would you recommend as a converter?

Is anyone sharing these on Slsk? The torrent files don't work for me...

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 13 January 2006 23:51 (twenty years ago)

Is it safe to write off the alleged Yami Bolo b-side? The single really doesn't seem to have one...

C. O'Leary (jparker), Saturday, 14 January 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

OK -

I have done all new torrents on a reliable tracker... I'm pretty sure these should work this time...

Clefs of Lavender hill is on it's way from the US.

Bob Robinson (rob1nson), Saturday, 14 January 2006 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Rock. That torrent works! I'm downloading! Thanks much.

Bob, if it's a problem for you to convert wma to mp3, I will happily do it and YSI the files once the torrent's downloaded.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Sunday, 15 January 2006 01:50 (twenty years ago)

That would be appreciated.

ha ha yes torrents are easy, thank the gods, so i will keep seeding this sucka for while to give my little bit back.but could someone seed "part three" been on it for 30 hours now with nary a glimmer,would be loved ,by the way whats the lowdown on sharing could i put this file on Demonoid without anybody feeling thier work was ripped off i'm sure there is plenty of people would love t hear this???

s2bdoo (s2bdoo), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 16:54 (twenty years ago)

Is part 3 not going right now either? Fuckin' hell.. I've been having some trouble with the firewall, but it *should* be working.. Everything says it's working....

yeah sasha caro is definitely coming. it shouldn't be too long but don't hold your breath. here are a few more of the missing tunes - clefs of lavender hill, the big three and ken colyer's jazzmen - the correct ep this time. thought i had better do those to keep you sweet, just in case keefus and patita decide to pay me a visit armed with baseball bats demanding the sasha caro record.

yeah, matt--we prefer gentle nudging to assault!
Besides, we're inclined to think that you rock for bringing us some of the hardest to locate songs!

The Ken Colyer A side is If I Cease to Love/Bucket Got A Hole In It. Wildcat Blues / Wabash Blues is the B side.

patita (patita), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

First off, thanks to R. Knewit for assembling this whole thread into a convenient torrent. And on that note, there's three of us johnny-come-lately's cooling our heels in a swarm, our faces longingly pressed up to the window looking in -- speaking on behalf of my fellow leechers, we'd love a seeder to return to the torrent. If anyone's still got it sitting on their hard drive... Thanks!

B. Moon, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 01:41 (twenty years ago)

i am told that the new Napster service has a John Peel's Record Box playlist thing containing White Stripes, Nillson, Big Three, er, more things. nothing we don't have though.

koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:08 (twenty years ago)

maranth, can you use yousendit.com?

Stoecker, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 03:31 (twenty years ago)

The Yami Bolo B side appears to be a track called "Version", as listed here: http://infoman16.tripod.com/music/jprecbox.htm

Also saw another list (maybe it was the Record Collector list) that had Version listed as well.

patita (patita), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:06 (twenty years ago)

somehow i have lost "bloody" by the golinski bros! i would be super-happy if somebody could post it up here.

xpost: patita, i wd imagine "version" to be a dub of the A-side; i.e. "[a-side] (version)"

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:09 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, that makes a lot more sense than a song called "Version". YSI is giving me errors right now, but I can definitely send Bloody to you.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 06:05 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't mind a re-seed either. Please!

Debord (Debord), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 07:50 (twenty years ago)

spent saturday going through all this stuff again and doing things like splitting the Meow tracks, turning the mono tracks into stereo (some programs have trouble burning mono mp3s) and downsampling all the 320kbps tracks (space reasons), taking the long pauses off the beginnings, stuff like that.

anyway, we could do with a better version of 129 Pretty Good Looking For A Girl as the one we have has dreadful compression artefacts (it's on De Stijl so shouldn't be too hard to replace). the aforementioned Meow single is very loud as well, distorts badly, but that's harder to replace.

that infoman link was interesting, especially the bit about the nilsson single being one rather than three.

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 09:37 (twenty years ago)

I'll reseed in about 8 hours...

Dave will do (dave225.3), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:05 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like something off Life In The Undergrowth.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:21 (twenty years ago)

Teh White Stripes song is meant to sound like that. It's a different version to the one on De Stijl.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

I'm currently going through what I've downloaded, and trying to get a consistent numbering going.

There's a few I'm missing, but I'll wait till I get the full picture before I do anything about it. Although if anyone can post up Bill Oddie - On Ilkla Moor Baht'at that would be great.

Also, we've finished our Festive 50 project. The bloke who's been collecting them all is currently compiling them, which could take weeks or even months. Anyway, see here for a list of corrections we have had to make along the way from what were on the rocklist website:

There's a 3rd seed?! Think I might be a bit behind here. Hmmm. Back to working out what I need...........

I think I'm seeding it right now, althoughI'm not there to check the status... Unless I'm seeding the old one or something by mistake.. or my PC froze, etc.... I'll check it later this evening...

Hi everyone. I thought I might modestly pimp my new podcast "The Yank Sizzler" to Peel lovers here. The podcast is of course inspired by Peelie. So far I have 3 episodes. I'm going to try to play as much great music from every source I can get my hands on, studio tracks, Peel sessions (released and unreleased), online exclusives, live material (released and unreleased) etc. You'll recoginize a few of the tracks from the Peel Box collection.

The url is http://theyanksizzler.libsyn.com/

Of course it isn't like tuning into Peel(especially since I'm from Kansas, USA), but it is good music. And good music needs proliferation.

Thanks everyone,

And is the Sasha Caro single floating around yet?

What is the final verdict on the "Ken Colyer's Jazzband" single?

Which is the one?

(I shouldn't care really, as the one I have makes me go "Oh hurry up and be over", not feeling the love at all but just for the sake of correctness...)

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 February 2006 09:06 (twenty years ago)

Also, note:

060b Max Romeo - / Lee Perry "Revelation" (UPSETTER)

Last time of checking, was wrong. The track that is/was there was "War in a babylon dub" from the Island single.

Unless that's changed.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 13 February 2006 09:09 (twenty years ago)

bought Al Casey cd on thursday, he of 'Surfin Hootenanny' fame (ie the first thing you hear if you listen to the box in order). turns out that Lee Hazelwood wrote and produced it (and a bunch of his other stuff). nice lp of happy surfing songs but not something you can listen to from start to finish whilst remaining sane. the record label owner also designed a car (http://koti.mbnet.fi/wdd/hankdavisbio5.htm) (why does this remind me of Homer Simpson?)

koogs (koogs), Monday, 20 February 2006 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Hi,

Sorry I have been out of the loop for a while. I am now half way through collecting the vinyl versions of these songs. Ken Colyer's EP is on Tempo records EXA 26. It includes "Isle of Capri/St Phillip St Breakdown/Shine & Gentofte Blues. I picked up the copy from New Zealand. I have the following B Sides. Roshell Anderson & Yami Bolo.
I will try to post up soon. Bob Robinson

Bob Robinson (rob1nson), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:03 (twenty years ago)

that's the wrong ken colyer ep i'm afraid bob. the other one (same cover, different colour) was shown and played in the documentary.

052a Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - If I Cease to Love / Bucket Got A Hole In It
052b Ken Colyer's Jazzmen - Wildcat Blues / Wabash Blues

both of which we have.

circumstantial evidence: http://www.avistic.demon.co.uk/1995/07.txt

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 12:05 (twenty years ago)

Hi Koogs,

The December issue of Record Collector in the UK definitely shows a record matrix number of Tempo EXA 26, which is the St Phillip St Breakdown EP.. Is there any further evidence on this.

Bob Robinson (rob1nson), Saturday, 25 February 2006 15:01 (twenty years ago)

In the documentary they show the If I Cease to Love version, and play a track from it. At one point they show the cover briefly as someone is flipping through the box.

patita (patita), Saturday, 25 February 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

an un-firewalled seeder would be most appreciated, stuck at 37%...

sleeve, away, Saturday, 25 February 2006 20:14 (twenty years ago)

> At one point they show the cover briefly

which isn't much help as both covers are *very* similar 8) but yes, If I Cease is shown and played in the documentary (over John's school photo where he's wearing a different style blazer to everyone else, near the start of part two iirc). can't explain the Record Collector catalogue number except that it's easy to mix them up.

buy them both 8)

koogs (koogs), Sunday, 26 February 2006 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Basically, the record collector article was pretty much doing what we have been, i.e. checking the internet, checking the documentary and using intuition.

So, they got the Ken Colyer e.p. wrong, but then I think they are probably right about the Electro Hippies single:

The one we have is the 12" Strange Fruit session, whereas they have it as the limited edition "Mega armageddon death/You suffer" split with Napalm Death that Strange Fruit did. Not to be confused by the similar one Earache records did.

I have dial up at home, but a faster connection at work, but no torrent. If anyone can stick some in the odd zip file, would be most greatful. I do have a mate who can do torrent stuff, but would need some specific info to be successful, as I'm pretty clueless with that end of things.

Thank you very much.

I'll see what I can do Wobs, but I've just suffered a hard drive failure so it may take a bit.

Your effort is much appreciated, thank you.

Wobs (Wobs), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

wobs, some of your list are tracks that no one's got yet. afaik the following is what is being collected still:

Arthur K Adams - Wildwood flower/It's a wild wild wild wildwood flower
Dreamland Express - Groovy / u.f.o
Easy Teeth - Car Noise
Firemen - Old smokie / Louie's theme
Greenhornes - Stayed up last night
Roshell Anderson - Such a beautiful thing
Roy Head - So long my love
Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2 / Little maid's song
Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies / I saluti
Spit Out - O from I / Tan / Rot'n'roll
Stanley Winston - It's alright
Yami Bolo - Richer than Cory b-side

Here are a few that you were after. (PS It's the Olympics, not Jody Reynolds, for 'Western movies'. I think it was a dual artist single.)

My apologies. I thought I had elminated those that everyone didn't have. Will try harder in future.

I tried the link Whatever, but unfortunately it gets as far as about 20Mb, and finishes. There's about 35Mb in total.

Wobs (Wobs), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

the link just worked fine for me

whatever (boglogger), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

It worked! I had tried repeatedly without success, until I installed the YSIGet thing, and huzzah!

Wonder why its worked on previous large files without installing that, and not this one?

I just looked at your list of missing tracks. It is basically the same as mine. So I imagine there was nothing new in your file. Right?

So, Patita, is it time to burn those CDs without the last few tracks?

flannelgraph (Jon McNeill), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

That's what I was wondering. I'll send an email to the people who have indicated that they have physical copies of some of the remaining stuff and see what happens.

In case I missed anyone on an email (2 computer crashes, so I never know anymore): I intended to burn the whole thing to CD and put it in a nice little box for all the folks who contributed. Send me an email if you were the source of some material for the box, and I'll get things underway.

patita (patita), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Hello.
I know there is no YSI but can someone please reseed the big torrent for a bit. I am stuck on 88.9% and have been for eons, waiting for a good samaritan!

Debord (Debord), Friday, 7 April 2006 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

> So, Patita, is it time to burn those CDs without the last few tracks?

you can burn cds using multisession support which means you can add tracks later. this only(?) works with cds burnt as data (ie mp3s) and not (i don't think) burnt as audio (but then, by my calculations you'd need about 10 cds for the audio version and 2 for the mp3s)

I may be able to reseed the torrent, Debord... I lost a hard drive, so I'm not sure, but I'll get it going this evening if I can.

Debord (Debord), Friday, 7 April 2006 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, I've lost most of them too when my Mac failed, too. Why is that happening? A curse of YSI?

But I never paid attention to how I'm supposed to get that link on the spreadsheet page to work with Azareus... could someone quickly explain for me? Thanx.

Jon McNeill (Jon McNeill), Friday, 7 April 2006 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

I have the files but lost the torrent file - and the tracker seems to be no longer available...

I have been trying to create a new torrent, but it keeps failing.

stay tuned.

Dave AKA Dave (dave225.3), Friday, 7 April 2006 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

Feel free to post any links to me and I'll paste them into my blog in case posting here becomes a problem. There are links to lots of other Peel sites too and I for one am not calling it a day on this project. All things come to those who wait!

I've uploaded a couple of Peel programmes from 2003 too with more to come, so pop over and say hi!

047 seems to be got, yes.

have just ordered the stanley winston single (095) (was listed under its b-side) and am bidding on roshell anderson on ebay (083). you wait ages for one and then 3 come at once...

annoyingly, a copy of the Yami Bolo single went on ebay about a week ago (£10.50). maybe someone should email the winner with a cheeky request...

99p from ebay. turned out to be the tune they used for the very start of the peel documentary over the slowed down film of peel at his wedding (ie is great if a little lachrymose). not entirely sure it doesn't jump towards the end - there is a mark on the vinyl but i watched it play and it seemed ok.

One other thing:

The b-side to "Sipple up deh" is not right: That's the b-side of "War in a babylon" i.e. different version. In both senses of the word.

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

i did spot a cd recently which had 'sipple up deh' and a thing called 'sipple dub' on it. is that the right one?

oh, it wasn't this: http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4079/?highlight=57311
but that's a lot easier to get hold of (ie it's in my local hmv)

legion of superheroes we have, i believe. yep, definately.

someone mentioned they had the sasha caro upthread (or on the blog) but it's yet to arrive.

koogy wonderland (koogs), Friday, 30 June 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

1) It might be, actually, yes. Might actually have it already. Will have to check.

2) There's a bunch (a small list, actually) of stuff I've missed. Can I email yz Koog, once again? I did some updating at home, so I should check there first.

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 June 2006 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

that coronation street thing in a ska styleeeee just went for about a tenner on ebay (our copy is terrible, which is a pity). that said, i did see it listed for £6 somewhere so...

Right:

I bought "Sipple up deh" off ebay, and it just came from JA.

"Revolution Dub" is the same as "Sipple Dub" off the box "Rare Dub" as mentioned. Except my single is scratchy/crackly like a mother.

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 17 August 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

(cheers mark. was good to find out for sure)

anyhoo, Peel's Birthday today. which calls for presents.

094, the Spitout single has been found by an anonymous somebody and is available from the usual place. (currently it's a 3 track m4a but i've sent him a version of it split into mp3s so you may want to wait a while until that's up). (it's very noisy)

also, 008 Arthur K Adams has also been found (Speed Limit Records - http://speedlimit45rpm.com/) and will be available shortly.

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/photos/wildwood.png

5 new tracks in the last 3 days, woot. at this rate, and with 10 left to find, we'll be finished next week 8)

(oh, and, as someone said way above, i think the other side of the Electro Hippies track is You Suffer by Napalm Death:

http://www.discogs.com/release/367419
was mentioned in Guardian a week or so ago as shortest single)

Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 13:32 (fourteen years ago)

Now this is a coincidence..

I got a 'facebook friend' request for Thomas Ravenscroft, and remembered I'd mailed him about the unknown disc, "Groovy" by Dreamland express. He mailed me back saying he'd record it for me, but it never happened.

So anyway, I tried tracking down "Tickey Dopies" yesterday, and found that Eric Idle played it as part of his comedy radio show "Radio 5". Apparently, it's downloadable as "torrent".

"Series 1, episode 2" if you are interested.

John Plays "Tickey Dopies"

Mark G, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 13:18 (twelve years ago)

one year passes...

Hello folks.

I am just about finished with this project.

Let's summarise what I don't have (or you might not have)

27. Dreamland Express - Groovy + u.f.o (EMI) - This I have had no luck on finding, but I have found some possible leads as to who they were....
32 Electro Hippies - Mega-armageddon Death (Peel session) - This is a Strange Fruit promo, it has "You Sexy Thing" by Cud on the other side!
34 Firemen - Old Smokie / Louie's theme - This I have got via ebay, might take a month to get here.
70 Nice - The thoughts of Emerlist Davjack (IMMEDIATE) - This is a one sided promo, with JPeel commantary. I do have this from a broadcast, with latter day Peel talking over it.
86 Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2 + Little maid's song (DECCA) 1967 - I lost out on ebay last week, this is somewhat pricey and hard to find. The side 2 here is anthologised, not found side 1.
90. Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies + I saluti (INKONKONI) 1971 - Found it!
141. Yami Bolo - Richer than Cory (JAMAICA INTERNATIONAL) - On its way.

Note that the three Nilsson singles are actually just one record, a "hits" e.p. with three tracks on it.

Yeah, possibly no-one's interested but hey.

Mark G, Friday, 20 March 2015 15:41 (ten years ago)

Yes I did. I actually managed to get a decent copy off Ebay.

Funny, this is the single that JP managed to destroy by dropping it down the back of a fridge, or some such, and all he could do was to ask his listeners to track him down a new one.

Hi all,
My Covid lockdown project has been John Peel's record box. I've come pretty close to getting them all. I need I'm not Drinking More - Al Ferrier and Ticky Dopies/ I Saluti - Sipho Bhengu, and , of course, Dreamland Express - I think I saw somewhere that John Peel may have played the Dreamland Express tunes on his show. Is that true? Mark G, I see from a post about 5 years ago that you got hold of the Sipho Bhengu. I would dearly love to have copies of these tracks (and the rest of the Thala Thala compilation album)

If Mark G or anyone else can help me with these last few tunes that would be great. Does anyone else need any from the list?

Alexrob, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 15:41 (five years ago)

Just sent you a Webmail with a link to the Al Ferrier song.

Alexrob, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 23:00 (five years ago)

Listening to Peel's intro to a 1973 Be Bop Deluxe session and it's striking how different his on-air voice is from later years. He's even more lugubrious and deep-voiced in 1973. Anyone know if the change was intentional or just something that gradually happened?

Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 22 July 2020 19:27 (five years ago)

He definitely tried his hardest to distance himself from his fluty-voiced public school hippy persona of the late 60s, I didn't know he was doing it as early as '73 though.

Sonny Shamrock (Tom D.), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 19:36 (five years ago)

I think Marc Bolan broke his hippy heart tbh.

Sonny Shamrock (Tom D.), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 19:36 (five years ago)

coulda been bowie

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 19:37 (five years ago)

I have a theory that when he was in the process of trying to lose his hippy trappings he based a lot of his vocal mannerisms on John Walters, his producer, they could sound very similar.

Sonny Shamrock (Tom D.), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 19:43 (five years ago)
