TOM WAITS - We're All Mad Here: A Conversation... (Flac)

This is another I haven't heard in some time and thought it worth sharing for Waits fans. If you're not really a fan have a listen anyway, Tom is a great raconteur. The promo was issued to promote the dual release of 'Alice' and 'Blood Money' on 7 May 2002.

PINK FLOYD - Dark Side of the Radio - Wish You Were (Flac)

Those who have visited the blog for sometime will know that I use the term bootleg with a fluidity and include promos and radio shows, not generally available to the public. 

This post was influenced by the fact that next month, Pink Floyd's album 'Wish You Were Here' will see the 50th anniversary of its release.

I'm sure the monthly music mags will not let this anniversary pass without a feature. David Gilmour is already on the cover of 'Record Collector.'

Some facts, 'Wish You Were Here' was one of the first records I bought as a boy growing up in the seventies and consequently has always been special to me.

I would go backwards to discover ' Meddle' and then 'Dark Side of The Moon.' It would be sometime later that I heard a completely different Floyd, from the 60's including Syd Barrett.

Coming off the back of a Winter UK tour in 1974. Floyd began the New Year in recording sessions at Abbey Road from Monday 6 January to Monday 3 March, before heading to North America & Canada for live dates in April.

Further recording sessions took place at Abbey Road between Monday 5 May and Thursday 5 June, the latter date when Syd Barrett turned up as the band were listening to playbacks of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.' 

The band continued their North American & Canadian tour throughout the month of June. The band performed at Knebworth in England on Saturday 5 July before continuing with final sessions for the album between Monday 7 July to Saturday 19 July.

Wish You Were Here was released on Friday 12 September, and the following day in the US.

UK weekly paper, the Melody Maker declared that the album 'sucks'! (Dates and info from Glen Povey's book Echoes)
