I'm really glad to see its been put up so quickly. Thanks to everyone involved. PLEASE NOTE: I wanted to say that there is a mis-cue on Parties where the song starts at the end of the previous track and then starts again. Elvis just pointed out to me that this also happens on 'Train Around the Bend'...

FYI. I sent out the all the disks today 21st Sept to those I promised them so I think my part is done and a general distribution should start pretty soon. Thanks to those who are uploading or whatever.

I admit I used generic cdrs. Sorry, but best I could manage.

One more comment: As for removing clicks by all means try but personally I really like them.

What about the other tracks on the CDs? Is the mono Loaded for real or some digital mono mix job done last week? The 3rd LP tracks...any good? Yes 'mirror' is there. I forgot to mention but think its same. I didn't really listen to the Loaded yet but can confirm its transferred from an LP so I gues...

The mono acetates Cd came today. My initial (and unverified) observations are: VU & Nico. Yes, its an acetate (or acetates) and yes it has different versions of key tracks.

I'd rather someone just start from scratch and do something a little more in depth and better researched. I agree. Bockris really isn't the man for the job. The words shoddy and hack spring to mind when I think of Uptight and its author(s). Whatever happned the history Sterlin Morrison said he was ...

Woah! OK, I've been understandably inundated with requests. I'm sending this thing out to as many as possible and making sure that at LEAST one person has offered to upload it. Please send no more requests. Sorry, but I'm sure everyone will find it up in the near future. I won't get my copy for 1 we...

Well, call me an idiot but I ordered it. I didn't get the extra DVD. I will send cd copies to the first 2 or 3 people who ask for it who can then hopefully pass it on to others. Or if someone tells me what to do I will try and upload it to somewhere, but frankly I suspect the cd's will be easier as ...

There is quite a lot of discussion on this boot in Japan where they are all tallking about the shop in West Shinjuku (where I suspect I bought my replica 1st Lp). The discussion is mostly incomprehensible with machine translation. Sound quality seems to be suspect but people generally enthuse about ...

Its curious that it refers to a Moe Tucker acetate and an acetate of Sterling Morrison found after his death. Sounds convincing - but good lies are often decorated with such detail. Could it be that these recordings have been found, handed over to universal and then leaked/stolen? Is it all just a b...
