What's This<br />02. Happy Time Tune<br />03. The Boiler<br />04. The Ghost Of The Vox Continental <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This is the Bodysnatcher's first session for </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">DJ John Peel's legendary </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">BBC Radio 1 show. It was broadcast three times in 1980. This recording is from the first broadcast on 14 April, 1980. The session was repeated on 15 May 1980 and also included in the 2-tone special broadcast on 9 June 1980. That whole show is available on the John Peel Wiki.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Notable for the early version of 'The Boiler' Rhoda's vocals are pretty much word for word, the same as on the Special A.K.A released version. What it lacks is the sinister edge that Jerry's cinematic organ arrangement brought with it. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Now it's possible to compare and contrast such a hugely poignant and important song, as it evolved between the writing and recording.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Further information is available in the download notes included with the audio files.. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">All of the initial 2-Tone first sessions have been officially released, The Specials, The Beat, Madness & The Selecter, this is the only one that hasn't. It's excellent quality and I've passed on the recording as found and resisted editing any of the speech or fades used.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNKXRYeqF08_FlQbpuyoqAWoXAIWz0QJVf-43JDv7HOlLcO41VTsvMCY2AGoQ9BLitqDQ8gr1lO-RH18hMYCRz7m3Kh2WaS1ZDRQrJdXlNfFVw2wJgrguz_v-3TmxgjEpFEf94OCfvpRWQLgFClLJFb3Wh7B7qDXiGKjHzlzeTHxzu4eeyO3SN5eF5Ap2k/s903/BS%20JPS%2080%20FR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="903" data-original-width="903" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNKXRYeqF08_FlQbpuyoqAWoXAIWz0QJVf-43JDv7HOlLcO41VTsvMCY2AGoQ9BLitqDQ8gr1lO-RH18hMYCRz7m3Kh2WaS1ZDRQrJdXlNfFVw2wJgrguz_v-3TmxgjEpFEf94OCfvpRWQLgFClLJFb3Wh7B7qDXiGKjHzlzeTHxzu4eeyO3SN5eF5Ap2k/s320/BS%20JPS%2080%20FR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><a href="https://mega.nz/file/LsUGSYzI#X8H7lqI_aDQkrQSzNi_vGQtKjvxgEh3AHxnPFhW1I2s">LINK</a></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidCOW_eu_-Pr971HJuATwwSXHus6d1AgOO6W4dEdADbrUvhngmXhWtB0KUurVUW_2gDD9cpIFpl0yuTF56XW8ZBsktglcEHzKdw1KentMumGdqQ91v2dJ_DMMDpAZqdJAQtNwdNQTsHwcrF37pMLCQ91obNIg5AMoluh0X1R71HYal0sfxuASgjUtQH8hV/s633/rhoda-page-002b%20rm%2016%20jan%201982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="217" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidCOW_eu_-Pr971HJuATwwSXHus6d1AgOO6W4dEdADbrUvhngmXhWtB0KUurVUW_2gDD9cpIFpl0yuTF56XW8ZBsktglcEHzKdw1KentMumGdqQ91v2dJ_DMMDpAZqdJAQtNwdNQTsHwcrF37pMLCQ91obNIg5AMoluh0X1R71HYal0sfxuASgjUtQH8hV/w219-h640/rhoda-page-002b%20rm%2016%20jan%201982.jpg" width="219" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p>thebasement67http://www.blogger.com/profile/03690944069490467817noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360273330867735076.post-48054939206393748812024-02-04T22:12:00.001+00:002024-02-11T21:21:54.554+00:00Bootlegs of the Year 2015-2022<p style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-size: large;">This document was first compiled in 2015 after receiving numerous emails, enquiring as to where bootlegs #1-100 posted on site, could be found. <i><span style="font-size: medium;">(many of the links were lost in 2016, see Downloads box on top right-hand side panel).</span> </i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the latest, the seventh edition of 'Bootlegs of the Year'. It incorporates a further fifty-eight boots downloaded during the last twenty-four months.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">This edition now includes 332 bootlegs, the best I have downloaded since 2015. The 178-page book will point you in the right direction, in finding the sites I have used and most importantly the web addresses where they can be located. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it concentrates on the best bootlegs I have downloaded in the last <u>eight</u> years, the same websites and addresses noted in the book are where the majority of the bootlegs in the 100 Greatest listing, originated from. The posts #1 to #100 were mostly made from downloads prior to 2015. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">To sum up, it includes the best bootlegs I have downloaded in the preceding years, 2015 to 2022. Having discarded numerous titles, these are the best from that time frame.<br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />I have not provided a sound quality rating as virtually all are of sufficient high quality to rate around 5 out of 5, some are worthy of 5+ like the best official releases.<br /><br />As you can imagine, it took some time and effort to pull this all together. What to include and just as importantly what to leave out, has taken considerable thought and listening hours, enjoyable nonetheless. So if you are a fan of any of the artists featured, then I can confidently state that you will definitely enjoy the bootlegs that have been chosen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you would like a copy of this document,</b> it's only £5 GBP via the donate button </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">(see the top right-hand bar - above blog archive).</span> You do not need a paypal account. <br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Included

Fate has a way of putting things into an interesting context. When it
was announced that Iggy Pop would be collaborating with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age,
the music press buzzed with anticipation about the project. What would
the proto-punk icon and the snarky hard rock smart guy come up with? The
surprise answer is, in many respects, 2016's <i>Post Pop Depression</i>, an unwitting but loving tribute to Pop's friend and collaborator David Bowie. <i>Post Pop Depression</i>
arrived two months after Bowie's death, and was completed before his
health problems became common knowledge. More than anything, though,
this music evokes the sound and feel of Pop's first two solo albums.
1977's <i>The Idiot</i> and <i>Lust for Life</i> were cut with Bowie in
Germany as Pop struggled to make sense of his life and career after the
Stooges collapsed. With the reunited Stooges gone following the deaths
of Ron and Scott Asheton.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Post Pop Depression</i> finds Iggy returning to the work he made in 1977, in ways that count the most. It
is smart and thoughtful, intelligent without being pretentious, and
full of bold but introspective thinking. While Josh Homme is certainly
no David Bowie, he's a skilled musician who challenges Pop in a way many
of his previous producers have not.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
The sound of <i>Post Pop Depression</i>
occasionally gestures to Bowie's work, with and without Pop, but Homme
has given this music a personality of its own. Dark and richly textured,
<i>Post Pop Depression</i> puts Pop's craggy but authoritative voice and intelligent tirades front and center. Homme and his rhythm section of Dean Fertita (QotSA & The Dead Weather) and Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys)
have created strong, muscular backdrops for Pop's lyrics that add to
their power. They counter his thoughtful anger with sounds that are
rich, cleanly designed, and a successful compliment for the star's work.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
Pop has suggested that this may be his last album, and if that's true, it wraps up his career with a
strong and atypical work. It tips its hat to Bowie, but also to the
freedom and creative possibilities Pop discovered in their collaborative
work. It confirms that Pop has never lost the ability to surprise and
upend expectations. In the bitter rant that closes "Paraguay," Pop
declares he wants to run away and live as "your basic clod." It's an
ironic thought, closing an album that once again proves Pop never was
and never will be an ordinary guy.<br /></span></span>

As mentioned in <a href="https://100greatestbootlegs.blogspot.com/2018/01/best-bootlegs-2015-17.html">Bootlegs of the Year</a>, pre-reformation recordings are limited, this short 28-minute portion of the Pinkpop set in 1994 is a rarity and despite its brevity is essential listening. The radio mix is stunning and these tracks could easily be used as extras for a re-issued deluxe set.<br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
This recording was aired in two parts (tracks 1-3 live on the air, tracks 4-7 later the same day). The two parts have been mixed together as nice as possible.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
Source and lineage (taped and transferred by Magnix): FM > Tape > WAV > FLAC level 8<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
Please note that this is a real FM capture, no cable, but straight from the airwaves. Also, this comes from a tape that was almost 15 years old at the time of transferring. This means that some FM and/or tape anomalies or degeneration may be present. Most has been fixed to the best of my abilities and most of this stuff is of very good quality. In this case, most of this is of excellent quality I think. (Magnix, March 2009)<br /></span>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
This was part of a compilation that I had put together titled 'Analog Soul' (1985-1995) basically an alternate to 'Walls Have Ears'. It gathered together three of the best short broadcasts by the band in circulation and included the following tracks:<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
01. Brave Men Run (4:04) 02. Brother James (3:28) 03. Flower (3:15) <i>from the VPRO Frontline, Radio Hilversum FM b/cast, Holland on April 1, 1985 </i><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
04. Come And Smash Me Said The Boy With The Magic Penis* (3:12) 05. Magic Wand* (2:58)<br />
06. Hallowed Be Thy Name (2:28) 07. Expressway To Yr Skull (4:53)<br />
<i>from the first John Peel session at BBC Maida Vale Studio, London, England on May 19, 1986</i>. <br />
<br />
08. Washing Machine (10:00) 09. The Diamond Sea (14:03) <br />
<i>from Live 105 Green X-Mas: Berkeley Community Theatre, Berkeley, CA. on December 15, 1995 (KITS Radio FM b/cast) </i><br />
<br />
To complete it I needed a live or studio session from around 1992 or 1993. I later discovered that tracks 4 & 5 of the Peel session* had been released on the Various Artists compilation 'Nothing Short Of Total War (Part One)' LP & CD (1989). Those were the reasons for it not being finished. <br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
Nevertheless the stunning performance from Berkeley, the penultimate show on the North American 'Washing Machine' tour, deserves to be heard and is now made available on this special post. <br /></span></span>

Sonic Youth began releasing recordings of old shows as part of an ongoing live archival program in the closing months of 2018. Drummer Steven Shelley said<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
“Through the years and as the times changed we recorded our live shows as often as we could, on cassettes, DATs, CD-Rs and later on multi-track recorders. We now maintain an archive of hundreds of hours of Sonic Youth oncerts and we’d like to share some of our favorites.”<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
These are available on the Sonic Youth official site via the Concert Archive tab. 12 shows are currently available dating from 1987 to 2011.<br /></span></span>

Today two guys who take their music seriously, tell all about the new Elvis Costello / Roots collaboration 'Wise Up Ghost'. Elvis Costello and The Roots drummer Ahmir Questlove Thompson talk about making a non hip-hop album using hip-hop techniques and Ahmir admits to a little Elvis stalking leading to their working together.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
We’ll hear live performances from the rehearsals for Elvis and The Roots live show at The Brooklyn Bowl, their only live show to be announced.

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
A series of promotional appearances were scheduled to publicise the new album. David also recorded an interview with Billy Bragg and a further two session tracks on this day for the BBC programme 'Saturday Music Mix'. <br /></span>

I bought Elbow's debut CD not long after its release in 2001, inspired specifically by the track <i>Scattered Black and Whites</i>, which I had heard on a cover mounted 'Uncut' compilation. Since then over the last fifteen years they have written a catalogue of songs that have few rivals amongst their peers. <br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
Certain live recordings just stand out, even after hearing only a few minutes, this one impressed me and eight years on those initial thoughts that this was a special show, that would be worth passing on down the years have been vindicated. I listened to this during last Christmas holiday period and marked it down for a blog post. It's a bootleg of sheer class with perfect sound quality, and a sublime performance in which you can hear and feel the ambience of such an unusual venue. <br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
Absolute Radio recorded and streamed Elbow in FLAC technology (Fully

"It was when Guy Garvey was forced to hush his girlfriend because her off-stage chatter was disturbing him during one of his songs that you truly realised this was no ordinary occasion. Elbow have always appeared the most intimate of bands. Recent success may have propelled them into the arenas but last night, amid the low, vaulted ceiling of the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, the Bury band found a stage to deliver an intense and personal concert.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
It was the first time a band had ever played here. With its historic tombs - Nelson, Wellington and Sir Christopher Wren are all buried here - the venue could have felt sepulchral, crowded with dead souls. Instead, buoyed by the warmth and goodwill that poured out from the 300-strong audience towards them, the five piece - a rag tag collection of old suits, paunches, beards and baldness - gave them an experience bordering on the religious. Careful not to overpower such a small space, the band took the opportunity to jettison some of their more rousing material and instead show off some of their subtler songs. The resulting 90 minutes were a triumph.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
Opener <i>Mirrorball</i> set the scene, as gorgeous and thrilling as when first heard. <i>Open Arms</i> was transformed from a stadium sing-along anthem into a pared-back hymn to the healing power of friends and family. The finely tuned dynamics of the performance centred, as ever, on Garvey's extraordinary voice in all its careworn perfection. But the unplugged style also lent greater weight than normal to Mark Potter's finely picked acoustic guitar and his brother Craig's inventive, lilting interventions on the piano.<b> </b>Backed by strings and Richard Jupp's shuffling drums, the band mixed old favourites - <i>Great Expectations, One Day Like This</i> - with unexpected selections from their back catalogue, with the epic, swelling romance of <i>Switching Off</i> a particular stand-out. Songs from their latest album seemed written with this gig in mind. Highlights included a bass-heavy <i>Jesus Is A Rochdale Girl, Lippy Kids</i>, their paean to golden youth and an unexpected outing for <i>Dear Friends</i>, the soaring, dreamy coda to the record. <br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">
Garvey's Northern charm and self-deprecating humour - "I've got bluster enough for the sails of a clipper" - combined with the optimism and hope that suffuse his bittersweet lyrics, invited each member of the tiny audience to believe every song was being sung just for them. This was never truer than on the final number, the little-played <i>Scattered Black and Whites</i> from their 2001 album Asleep in the Back, a moving and beautiful recollection of early memories, soaring and tender in its loveliness. His rich voice bolstered by aloe vera juice, Garvey at times looked overcome by the intimacy of the occasion - organised by Absolute Radio for a special high definition broadcast - and appeared to wipe away tears from his eyes several times. Towards the close, Garvey glanced up at the ceiling towards the cathedral above and remarked that he and the band felt humbled. "And in our rightful place in the basement," he teased. Such modesty, after an evening like this, was hardly necessary." <b>Review by Matthew Bayley, 27 May 2011</b></span></div>

This was assembled from recordings I made of the BBC Radio 3 broadcast lossless streams from the UK Womad Festival 2017. Eleven hours of music, over four programmes, were broadcast during the last weekend in July. This disc compiles over an hour's worth of those broadcasts to give a sampler of some of the 95 acts that took the stage. (thebasement67, August 2017)<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>01. Toots & the Maytals</b><br />
Toots Hibbert is among the pantheon of Jamaican reggae greats. It’s almost half a century since the Maytals’ 1968 single “Do the Reggay”, was the first song to use the word ‘reggae’ as ska and rocksteady morphed into a new beat. Toots and his band have been doing it ever since and Bob Marley even name-checked the Maytals alongside the Wailers in his 1977 hit “Punky Reggae Party”. Expect a righteous roots set featuring such timeless Toots classics as “54-46 Was My Number”, “Funky Kingston”, “Monkey Man”, “Pressure Drop” and “Reggae Got Soul”.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>02. Alsarah & the Nubatones</b><br />
The Sudanese singer Alsarah was a child when her family were forced to flee the country following a coup. She was eventually given political asylum in America where, after taking a degree in ethnomusicology she formed the Nubatones in 2010 with percussionist Rami el Aasser.<br />
With a line-up that includes her sister Nahid on backing vocals, bassist Mawuena Kodjovi, and oud player Haig Manoukian, the ensemble released their debut album Silt in 2014.<br />
Alsarah’s mesmerising blend of ancient tradition and East African pop has since entranced audiences wherever they’ve played – including a memorable appearance at the first music festival to be held in Somalia in 20 years.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>03. Afro Celt Sound System</b><br />
When the Afro-Celts re-emerged last year with The Source, their first new album in more than a decade, nobody knew quite what to expect. Would the group’s trademark global dance fusion that had sounded so thrillingly cutting-edge when they first appeared at WOMAD in 1996, now sound out-dated? We need not have worried, for it transpired that the long hiatus had reinvigorated the band.<br />
With their swirling mix of African rhythms and Celtic melodicism augmented by thundering bhangra drumming, the critics hailed their return as an unqualified triumph in which the Afro-Celts were sounding “bigger, better and bolder than ever.”<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>04. Trad.Attack!</b><br />
Trad.Attack! have turned Estonian folk music on its head since releasing their 2014 debut album AH! Combining the bagpipe playing and vocals of Sandra Vabarna, virtuoso guitar of Jalmar Vabarna and inventive percussion of Tõnu Tubli, the trio take their inspiration from old archive recordings of Estonian traditional songs.<br />
But folk music is merely their starting point and not their boundary as they reconcile past, present and future in a dynamic postmodern furnace of folklore, beats and rock’n’roll.<br />
The trio’s second album Shimmer Gold is due for release in May 2017, neatly timed for this year’s round of summer festivals.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>05. King Ayisoba</b><br />
Apozora Ayisoba has built a huge following in West Africa with his unique update of traditional styles played on the two-string lute known as a kologo and sung in an intense, hard-edged voice.<br />
His current album, 1000 Can Die is a thrilling mix of traditional Ghanaian rhythms and contemporary beats with echoes of hiplife, the local hybrid of traditional African highlife and hip-hop.<br />
Listen out, too, for his definitive hit ‘I Want to See You, My Father’, which announced his arrival a decade ago when it won him song of the year, and is certain to feature prominently in his regal set.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>06. XÀOS</b><br />
If WOMAD had a long-service medal, Nick Page – sometimes known as Dubulah – would be one of its first recipients. Over the years he’s been a key force behind such global fusionist festival favourites as Transglobal Underground, Temple Of Sound, Dub Colossus and Syriana. His latest project XÀOS, finds him exploring the musical heritage of his Greek mother in partnership with the electronic composer Ahetas Jimi and a supporting cast of traditional Greek musicians.<br />
The epic album they made together took a decade to complete, its electronic pulses and traditional shadings uncannily echoing the tensions and struggles which Greece itself has been undergoing in an uncertain world.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>07. Lamomali</b><br />
The French singer-songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Matthieu Chedid, alias -M- has been collaborating with musicians from Mali for 20 years, including Amadou and Mariam and kora legend Toumani Diabate. His latest project teams him once more with Toumani and his son Sidike Diabate, who in addition to playing the kora is a key mover in Bamako’s vibrant hip-hop scene.<br />
“With Lamomali I planted the seed and I watched it grow so that a multi-coloured African universe can be born,” says Chedid, who is of partly Lebanese-Egyptian origin. “It must be my African side in me because I felt like I had finally returned home.”<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>08. Las Cafeteras</b><br />
Emerging from an ethnically diverse and politically active working-class neighbourhood of East Los Angeles in 2005, this Chicano band have built an enviable reputation with their radical and socially-conscious mix of Mexican folk styles, hip-hop and much else besides, using their songs to tell stories about the streets where they were raised, the communities in which they live and their dreams for a better world. Their second album, Tastes Like LA, has just been released and includes a song titled “If I Was President”. As singer Denise Carlos puts it: “The President says he wants to build a wall. Las Cafeteras want to build bridges”. Their WOMAD performance will be a UK and European debut.<br /></span>

Hailing from the town of Timbiquí on the Pacific coast of Colombia, Grupo Canalón met in school, where their music teacher taught them the traditional folk songs typical of the coastal region, sung for generations by the women of the town while washing clothes in the river and praising their patron saints. The voice of lead singer Nidia Góngora blends felicitously with the African-style chanting of a female chorus, backed by marimba and folkloric percussion, and between touring and recording, several of the group’s members still dig for gold in the mines around Timbiquí.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>10. Ladysmith Black Mambazo</b><br />
Founded in the early 1960s by Joseph Shabalala, then a young farm boy turned factory worker, the joyous harmonies of South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mabazo have been uplifting audiences for more than half a century. The a cappella Zulu male choir emerged on to the world stage in the 1980s when they were given a starring role on Paul Simon’s landmark “Graceland” album. Simon returned the compliment by producing the group’s first worldwide release, “Shaka Zulu”, which won a Grammy. Since then they’ve toured the world endlessly, winning countless further awards and recording with a vast array of guest vocalists ranging from Stevie Wonder to Dolly Parton.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>11. Bonga</b><br />
For veteran and much-loved godfather of Angolan music, 2017 marks the 45th anniversary of Bonga’s seminal debut album Angola 72.<br />
The record became the soundtrack for Angola’s battle for independence from Portuguese colonial rule and was banned, forcing him into exile as a wanted man. Since independence he has divided his time between Europe and his homeland, recording a prolific string of peerless albums characterised by his rasping, powerful voice and the rippling Angolan rhythms of semba.<br />
At 74, he remains a potent and charismatic force-of-nature on stage and insists that he has absolutely no plans to retire any time soon.<br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>12. The Ska Vengers</b><br />
The name tells only part of the story. The Ska Vengers hail from the Indian capital of New Delhi and their musical palette encompasses not only the irresistible chk-chk’ rhythms of Jamaican ‘ska’ but elements of dub, punk, jazz, rap, psychedelia and Latin music.<br />
Formed in 2009, their debut album appeared three years later and has come to be regarded as a landmark on the contemporary Indian music scene. Live their energy is palpable and their first UK tour in 2016, which included a performance at the Notting Hill Carnival, was a revelation that brought them to a new and appreciative audience.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>13. Oumou Sangaré</b><br />
Stylish, elegant, feisty and charismatic, Oumou Sangaré is not only one of the most powerful female voices in African music but a striking role model who has used her music to campaign fearlessly to improve the position of women in Mali’s male-dominated society, singing against such injustices as polygamy and child marriage. Following an eight year absence from the recording studio she returned to the fray in 2017 with her fifth album Mogoya. While the record remains rooted deep in Malian culture and tradition, the more contemporary arrangements break new ground on the funkiest set of her career to date.<br /></span>

"Unlike other Radio 1 programs which played pre-recorded sessions, Mark Radcliffe sessions were actually played live on the spot throughout the programme. Which also meant that we could hear any mistakes, cock-ups or the true brilliance of bands which were sometimes covered up in the production room.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
But not only did we get to hear some great bands do what they did best, we got to hear some studio banter by the way of questions being fired at the band. Which at times led to some unimaginable hilarious moments.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
To get an idea of how that may sound, I've included all the studio banter I had alongside the tracks. This recording as with my other BBC broadcast torrents has come from my own personal collection of old cassettes." (rp61hawk, the original uploader)<br /></span></span>

Bob Dylan Plays Sinatra, Garland, Hendrix on XM Radio Show </span></span></span></b></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><i><span><span><span>By
Rick Warner May 4, 2006</span></span></span></i></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>May
4 -- Growing up in the remote Iron Range of northern Minnesota, Bob Dylan was
an avid radio listener. The songs, stories and news he heard from faraway
places gave him a vital connection to the outside world. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>"I
was always fishing for something on the radio,'' he recalled in
"Chronicles: Volume One,'' a memoir published in 2004. "Just like
trains and bells, it was part of the soundtrack of my life.'' </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Dylan
is now contributing to that soundtrack with his own weekly show on XM Satellite
Radio. Called "Theme Time Radio Hour,'' it features an eclectic mix of
music from Dylan's personal collection that revolves around a theme like cars,
mothers or whiskey. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Yesterday's
promising premiere focused on songs about weather, from Muddy Water’s
"Blow Wind Blow'' and Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary'' to Judy
Garland's "Come Rain or Come Shine'' and Frank Sinatra's "Summer
Wind.'' The 18-song play list also included lesser-known performers like the
Consolers ("After the Clouds Roll Away''), Sister Rosetta Tharpe
("Didn't It Rain''), Lord Beginner ("Jamaica Hurricane'') and Slim
Harpo ("Rainin' in My Heart''). </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Dylan
must be the only disc jockey in the universe to play Dean Martin, the
Prisonaires, Irma Thomas, Stevie Wonder (singing in Italian) and the Carter
Family on the same show. Cousin Brucie, he's not. The show reflects Dylan's
heterogeneous tastes; blues and jazz, country and gospel, folk and soul --
Dylan has assimilated almost every type of music and fused them into one of the
most distinct and influential sounds of the rock era. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>I'm
sure lots of folks laughed when they heard Dylan was going to do a radio show.
But this is no David Lee Roth gimmick, no washed-up rocker desperately trying
to revive his career by becoming a DJ. (Roth was a flop as Howard Stern's
replacement on CBS Radio, lasting only three months before getting fired.) </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Dylan's
passion for old-time radio, combined with his reverence toward American musical
traditions, make this just the kind of niche program that fee-based satellite
radio is made for. Sirius has Stern, Martha Stewart and Jimmy Buffett; XM's got
Dylan, Oprah (coming in September) and Tom Petty. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>The
debut show opens with the sound of pouring rain, followed by a woman's
film-noirish narration: "It's nighttime in the big city. Rain is falling.
Fog rolls in from the waterfront. A night-shift nurse smokes the last cigarette
in her pack.'' </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Dylan,
in his gravelly, three-pack-a-day voice, describes the program as a
conglomeration of "dreams, schemes and themes'' before introducing the
first song by "the great Muddy Waters -- one of the ancients by now, whom
all moderns prize.'' </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Before
and after each song, Dylan offers tidbits and trivia that put the tunes in
historical perspective. We're told that "You Are My Sunshine'' was written
by former Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis, that Elvis really wanted to be Dean
Martin, that Judy Garland was from Minnesota, that Hendrix was "trying to
write a Curtis Mayfield song'' when he composed "The Wind Cries Mary,''
and "Just Walkin' in the Rain'' was written by a Tennessee prisoner serving
a 99-year sentence for rape. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>"But,
you know, for a black man in Tennessee in the '40s, rape could have meant just
looking at a wrong white woman in a wrong way,'' Dylan reminds us. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Adding
to the old-fashioned flavor are vintage radio jingles and sound effects. In
future shows, Dylan will answer e-mails from fans and get contributions from
guests like Elvis Costello, Charlie Sheen and Penn Jillette. I can't wait to
hear what Sheen thinks of "Subterranean Homesick Blues.'' </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>While
the music alone is enough reason to listen, I'd like to hear more personal
anecdotes and commentary from Dylan. Though he's notoriously inarticulate in
interviews, Dylan can be a wonderful storyteller when he wants to be, as he
proved in his memoir and the recent Martin Scorsese documentary "No
Direction Home.'' </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>How
many DJs, after all, can pull off an introduction like one Dylan gives to
Sinatra's "Summer Wind'' ? Backed by the sound of a whipping wind, Dylan

'In Search Of The Blue Nile' Documentary</b><br /><br />Much is made of the fact that the Blue Nile have only released four albums in their lifetime. A career that is a prime example of quality over quantity with two outright classics in “A Walk Across the Rooftops” and “Hats”. The final release 'High' sounds better as the years pass, although as you will hear, Paul Buchanan says the band should have finished years before its release.<br /><br />Peter Gabriel, Elbow and Ryan Adams are among high profile fans of The Blue Nile and this labour of love documentary 'In Search of the Blue Nile' was made by journalist, documentary-maker and musician, Ken Sweeney. He travelled to Glasgow in 2016 to interview Paul Buchanan and PJ Moore and see the sights and sounds of Glasgow's landscape that are inextricably linked with their music. As the documentary progresses Sweeney discusses the decisions, good and bad that the group made during their long career.<br /><br />The documentary was first aired on RTÉ Radio One (10pm on Wednesday, December 28, 2016) and received its first broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland at 4pm on Easter Monday 17 April, 2017 with Donal Dineen, Tom Dunne and Mark Cagney among the contributors. The documentary received a repeat broadcast by the same station on Friday 18 August, 2017 at 9pm.<br /><br />This is my FM recording of that repeated show. There is some sibilance on the recording, a result of me being on the outer limits of the FM reception area. It shouldn't spoil your enjoyment too much. This is a superb documentary about a most unique group.<br /><br />One final comment, on playing 'Tinseltown' recently my wife said, "Kate Bush" as the track began, and it does indeed sound like the rhythm Kate used on her single a year later, 'Running Up That Hill'.<br /><br />Lineage: Denon Tuner TU-260L > Audacity 2.1.3 > 16bit 44kHz > WavLab 6 > (edit and fades) > TLH > Flac 8<br /><br />thebasement (November 2017)<br /><br /><b>+ 3 demos</b><br /><br />02.

They included some well known names but also artists not previously featured. These were discarded and then reposted to the blog about five years ago. Some have quite short running times and were lost in the depths of the blog. I've decided to bump them up in position near to the top of the blog (date wise) as they have more in common with some of the recent posts</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <span style="font-size: medium;">and should be of interest</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">to</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> newer blog readers. If you've been following the blog for a while you will probably already have these.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I pulled out Laura's 'July Flame' album tonight for listening. It's an attractive
digipak with a free poster variation of the front cover and lyrics
included on the back. That led to me listening to these KCRW sessions
and the thought it would be worthwhile promoting these again. </span></span></p><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: red;">SPECIAL POST #1</b></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This was another disc I pulled from the DM's box under the stairs. It featured a Laura Veirs session from 2010. Her latest KCRW session was broadcast recently to promote the new album <i>The Lookout. </i>Both sessions are included together in one post<i>, </i>if you still burn to CDr both will fit onto a single disc.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">"Laura Veirs grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she often spent summers camping with her family, which gave her much of her songwriting inspiration. Veirs has said that she didn’t seriously listen to music until she was in her 20s; instead, she just heard what was in her environment. She listened to folk, country, classical and pop music around the house and on the radio during her youth.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Attending Carleton College in rural Minnesota, Veirs latched onto feminist punk rock from the Pacific Northwest, eventually starting an all-female punk band called “Rair Kx!”. Laura studied geology and Mandarin Chinese. After college, she embraced older country and folk music. Her first foray into songwriting started with a geological expedition in China, where she served as translator. She was miserable and immersed herself into writing lyrics as a way of coping."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>JULY FLAME (2010)</b><br />
"On this album, Laura Veirs parts company
with Nonesuch and opts for a self-release in the USA, via her Raven
Marching Band Records imprint, with a Bella Union airing in the UK.
After 2007's Saltbreakers it wouldn't have been unreasonable to have
expected Veirs to have catapulted into far broader success, but on July
Flame she maintains the hallmarks of her cult status, all underpinned by
an honest approach to song-craft that's never overcooked or outwardly
commercial. <br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
The record (produced with Decemberists collaborator
Tucker Martine) sounds brilliantly put together, and tellingly, remains
intimate and humble even when Veirs starts to pile up the arrangements,
as on the great, string-stacked title track, or the miniaturised
orchestrations of 'Silo Song'. There's nothing quite so immediate as
'Don't Lose Yourself' was on the last album, and the sequence gets off
to a slightly sleepy start with the likes of the Fleet Foxes-esque 'I
Can See Your Tracks' (which features My Morning Jacket's Jim James
rather than any of Fleet Foxes) and the un-self-consciously countrified
'Sun Is King', but it's these more pared down moments that make the
record such a joy on repeated listens. <br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
This is a seriously
strong collection of songs - possibly Veirs' best to date - and gives
off all the right signals to suggest it might just be loitering around
those end-of-2010 charts."</span></span><br /><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>THE LOOKOUT (2018)</b><br />
A prolific songwriter for nearly twenty
years, Laura Veirs proves the depth of her musical skill on her tenth
solo album, The Lookout. Here is a batch of inimitable, churning,
exquisite folk-pop songs; a concept album about the fragility of
precious things. Produced by Grammy-nominated Tucker Martine, Veirs’
longtime collaborator, The Lookout is a soundtrack for turbulent times,
full of allusions to protectors: the camper stoking a watch fire, a
mother tending her children, a sailor in a crows nest and a lightning
rod channelling energy.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
“The Lookout is about the need to pay
attention to the fleeting beauty of life and to not be complacent; it’s
about the importance of looking out for each other,” says Veirs. “I’m
addressing what’s happening around me with the chaos of post-election
America, the racial divides in our country, and a personal reckoning
with the realities of midlife: I have friends who’ve died; I struggle
with how to balance life as an artist with parenting young children.”<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
Written
and produced on the heels of Veirs’ acclaimed album with Neko Case and
kd Lang (case/lang/veirs), The Lookout integrates the fluency of
collaboration with Veirs’ notorious work ethic. The twelve songs on the
album are the result of a years’ worth of daily writing in her attic
studio in Portland, Oregon.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
“Twenty years ago when I was just
starting out with my punk band, it never occurred to me to write five
versions of a song,” says Veirs. “I’ve learned to see how malleable
lyrics and melodies can be. I have more tools as a musician so I write
many versions of songs until I find the right fit.” Such range is
demonstrated on the operatic vocals of “The Meadow” and the intricate
finger picking on “Watch Fire.” “The Lookout,” the album’s title track,
is an ecstatic anthem to trusted relationships.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
The Lookout draws
on the talents of a time-tested crew of musicians: Karl Blau, Steve
Moore, Eli Moore, Eyvind Kang and Martine. Says Veirs, “These guys are a
good hang, ego-free and wonderful players who just want to serve the
songs.” Sufjan Stevens and Jim James provide guest vocals.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
For
Martine, who fell, almost two decades ago, for Veirs’ unique sound after
listening to a tape cassette she’d sent him in the mail, this album
reflects a bar that keeps getting raised. Both familiar and strange, The
Lookout gets better with repeated listens, warming to the skin like a
cherished saddlebag, critical for the journey ahead." <i>(http://bellaunion.com)</i></span></span>thebasement67http://www.blogger.com/profile/03690944069490467817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360273330867735076.post-65992826038164352642024-01-10T19:11:00.000+00:002024-01-10T19:11:38.498+00:00OMD - Electric Ballroom, London 1979 (Flac)<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As 2023 slips further away I'm taking you back to December 1979 when one of the most successful UK bands of the 80's, were plying their trade as a support act. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Forty-four years since that performance, while supposedly Christmas shopping! I came across a 2nd hand CD of OMD's second album 'Organization' which included bonus tracks that I'd never heard before. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Subsequently later that evening, while looking through torrent sites I spotted this early live show and was impressed by the sound quality and performance. It's definitely worthy of a place on the blog.</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Seven of the tracks performed here appeared on their debut album, released on 22 February, 1980. The closing track is a cover of the VU song.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkrqxIdz3cO6FXUbq1hmPa6g1Odn9HS_1gEVHwqJfvzlgbqV6EPk1tLSiFu7xRC2h4gg9HwdEFKZtyHZ1F4pouoideTrQro3nUfJxfcusm9xDU_Dh5jbHRKRp5sm46SnuovJGdhF7N_6qHuhyDlRnl-o7EyIQcsEMUoKMKb1Hfi5L_zGdFdXYBGfVb9E_p/s1600/omd%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkrqxIdz3cO6FXUbq1hmPa6g1Odn9HS_1gEVHwqJfvzlgbqV6EPk1tLSiFu7xRC2h4gg9HwdEFKZtyHZ1F4pouoideTrQro3nUfJxfcusm9xDU_Dh5jbHRKRp5sm46SnuovJGdhF7N_6qHuhyDlRnl-o7EyIQcsEMUoKMKb1Hfi5L_zGdFdXYBGfVb9E_p/s320/omd%202.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">*ORIGINAL INFO* </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /><br /><b>Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>December 7th, 1979<br />Electric Ballroom, London</b><br /><br />Another gem from Hans 'the madtaper" Devente.

font-size: large;">Young Marble Giants originated in Cardiff, Wales during 1978. Their minimalism was influenced by the punk scene, but in sharp contrast they stripped their sound back to basics, creating music based around the vocals of Alison Statton and the sparse instrumentation of brothers Philip and Stuart Moxham. <br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Another John Peel band, the legendary DJ began playing their music on Radio 1 after the release of their album <i>Colossal Youth</i>. He introduced their sound to a larger nationwide audience. There is a ninety-minute recording of the show broadcast on Tuesday 26 August 1980, available on the John Peel Wiki that includes the Young Marble Giants session, listen to musical history as it was being made.<br /><br />The band released their debut and only full-length studio album, Colossal Youth, in February 1980. The debut single 'Final Day' was released in April 1980 and two of the tracks 'Radio Silents' and 'Colossal Youth' were included in this live set. <i>(Dates are according to Discogs, Peel played tracks from the album in early April and the single in June)</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This recording was made and preserved by collector / engineer Terry Hammer, for broadcast over the UC Berkeley station KALX, one of many others from the 1979 -1981 period. Terry would get a decent feed from the sound mixing board, then mixed direct to 2-Track Reel To Reel (and Cassette deck for backup and personal use) using headphones. It was mixed using a dedicated mixing board, with an additional one to two audience microphones in the mix. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">These recordings were released on the Dime torrent site and provoked a storm of interest. They are easily found under the title 'Terry Hammer Tape Project' or THTP for short. <br /><br /><b>Setlist:</b><br />01. Dirk intro ><br />02. N.I.T.A.<br />03. Holidays<br />04. Choci Loni<br />05.

Nelson began his broadcasting career in 1985 when Kiss FM was a pirate radio
station. He moved to BBC Radio 1 in 1996 to present the first ever national RNB
show ‘The Rhythm Nation’ and stayed with Radio 1 until 2013.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">On
July 9, 2016 he began presenting Rhythm Nation on Saturday evenings on BBC
Radio 2, replacing his Wednesday evening soul show. The advertising for the
show ran as follows:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>“Trevor
Nelson's Rhythm Nation, the perfect soundtrack to liven up your Saturday night.</i></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>In
his first Saturday night show on BBC Radio 2, Trevor Nelson's Rhythm Nation
will be the perfect soundtrack of Soul, R 'n' B, Disco, Hip Hop, with a touch
of reggae to liven up your Saturday night. Drawing on his unrivalled record
collection from the past 40 years, expect a show that showcases Trevor's love
for all corners of soulful music featuring stone cold classics alongside the
new breed of Soul and R 'n' B. If a record has soul at its core, it's got a new
home - Trevor Nelson's Rhythm Nation 8-10pm Saturday nights on BBC Radio 2."</i></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In
its current time slot (Monday-Thursday 22:00–0:00) and format, the show has
been running since January 2019. The first half hour is titled Trevor Nelson’s
Magnificent 7. Thirty minutes of the biggest hits, uplifting tunes and
essential throwbacks. The final hour and a half is titled Trevor Nelson’s
Rhythm Nation, soul, RB, funk, disco and everything in between.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The
show features three significant features: Trevor's signature game, <i>5 Seconds to
Name,</i> He'll play you a musical mash-up from one act and you must identify who
it is. Secondly each night on the show, a return to your <i>Musical Youth</i> with your story and the song that transports you back to a memorable time in your life.

have been few bootleg posts this year. My spare time has been limited to
catching up with CDs that I have bought in Charity/Thrift shops, enabling me to
grow my collection of CDs from over five hundred to seven times that. In fact
there is a long running thread, dedicated to this very pursuit on the ‘Steve
Hoffman Music Forum.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/uk-charity-thrift-shop-cd-hunting.493284/">https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/uk-charity-thrift-shop-cd-hunting.493284/</a></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s
also satisfying to see younger music fans participating, vinyl is a great
medium but is becoming extremely pricey. If you want a physical copy you can’t
go wrong with CDs, certainly not at the cheap prices they are available for
nowadays.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
have also been listening to radio shows, current and classic. For my generation
it was the only way to hear new music, TV shows about music were limited to two
weekly, Top of the Pops and the Old Grey Whistle Test. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Record
shops in those days had listening booths, where you could put on a pair of
headphones and get a preview of an album that you were interested in. Or you
could arrive on new release day and the best shops would give you a blast of
their latest stock at high volume.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
have posted a few shows on the blog from UK radio DJ’s, that I believe to be
the best of their profession. Have a look through these previous posts for John Peel, Andy
Kershaw, the Music Planet ladies; Kathryn Tickell and Lopa Kothari, Bob Harris,
David Rodigan and Ricky Ross. Links below for easy use...</span></span></p>

It happens so frequently nowadays, that the blog would resemble the audio version of a continuous obituary. Rarely does a few weeks go by without a great artist succumbing to the grim reaper. In some situations it lessons the grip fans have of a special recording that has not been shared. A bittersweet pill, that has provoked the release of this pre-FM. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is an excellent performance and superb recording, featuring many tracks from Sinead's debut album, The Lion & The Cobra. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">The set also includes live versions of the three singles that were taken from the album.

Allegedly leaked from the radio station, my copy is a second generation copy of the master. I traded it shortly after the performance and was asked not to spread it further. Twenty-five years onwards, I think it's time to liberate it...<br /><br />The show was only partially broadcast on Dutch radio (unsure which songs) and TV (Troy only, you can find it on YouTube). I believe this is the first time it'll be in circulation in its entirety.<br /><br />Acts on the bill that day, in order of appearance: Rainbirds, The Godfathers, Aswad, Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Pogues, The Christians, Sinéad O’Connor, Joe Cocker.<br /><br />Lineage: Pre-FM (2nd gen) > Audacity (wav, track splitting) > xACT (flac) > you<br /><br />I'm digitizing my tape collection, mostly recorded from Dutch radio in the 80s and early 90s. The original tapes will be binned and after seeding I will not keep the original flac sets, so unfortunately I will not be able to reseed them in the future.<br /><br />Enjoy, frankvink</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4TwyPfk_opKgg3RAXa9t4tWdQQI85C5AW-pP4FA_bsBd56ArV4yRD3QJZ_SP_mYkpswyL8Nkqbp6YDvWqeFE8ejhAP5gwfd5rItDee94ITtuJ9HJumK8yNUiLfWWX0p310n9TjuKbEzaQ5PJr-gzjQWKdDbgQjTSa-bYyJ5inS3lDrRSenqoxblLbBPP/s480/hqdefault-2726913363.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4TwyPfk_opKgg3RAXa9t4tWdQQI85C5AW-pP4FA_bsBd56ArV4yRD3QJZ_SP_mYkpswyL8Nkqbp6YDvWqeFE8ejhAP5gwfd5rItDee94ITtuJ9HJumK8yNUiLfWWX0p310n9TjuKbEzaQ5PJr-gzjQWKdDbgQjTSa-bYyJ5inS3lDrRSenqoxblLbBPP/s320/hqdefault-2726913363.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLTHSStucFVCleEBpqmHNJHt4uT0YokBrJT2PDFlYu--MevFcW3RPPDjDXyApItNrHmkeAAGL7oPxUaU_IkH9zl2J-e6J4dEYhEDnUW2xTp1msITC3PbtPTGX1c2mxR2LEQiVP0BBG5JRGaXutxpfVwy5JkahiUuy2rZ8-lNPRCVsXeOCNCfrqvAnc4JZ/s1219/MMYH97.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1219" data-original-width="925" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLTHSStucFVCleEBpqmHNJHt4uT0YokBrJT2PDFlYu--MevFcW3RPPDjDXyApItNrHmkeAAGL7oPxUaU_IkH9zl2J-e6J4dEYhEDnUW2xTp1msITC3PbtPTGX1c2mxR2LEQiVP0BBG5JRGaXutxpfVwy5JkahiUuy2rZ8-lNPRCVsXeOCNCfrqvAnc4JZ/s320/MMYH97.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://mega.nz/file/w9t3yBaT#noWrF48xJnOW3PtvPA81uZ7QXWYX_bUzVfZQyB9phOA"><span style="font-size: small;">LINK</span></a><br /></span><br /><p></p>thebasement67http://www.blogger.com/profile/03690944069490467817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360273330867735076.post-77862548041640880152023-08-01T20:54:00.000+01:002023-08-06T23:40:08.368+01:00FOR ONE NIGHT ILLEGALLY - the History of the Bootleg (Flac)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first post in some three months.
