Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 As a fan of alternative music in the 80s there are quite a few tracks I have on vinyl, but which have sod all chance of ever being released in a digital format. I can still play them of course, I have a turntable - but you can't take a turntable out and about with you. I was just wondering if anyone might have some of these songs as MP3s or WMAs - since I've had no luck finding them elsewhere on the internet I know I got little chance, but in the case of the Crazyhead tracks I hoping the local connection will help. Rags Time Has Taken Its Toll On You What Gives You The Idea That You're So Amazing Baby - all Crazyhead Davni Chasy - Wedding Present Different Drum - Lemonheads Burning World album tracks - The Swans (love Michael Gira's voice!) That's just a few... anyone else got a wishlist?

Disco Dave you have brought shame on your family by not possessing What Gives You The Idea!
Daggers Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 Disco Dave you have brought shame on your family by not possessing What Gives You The Idea! It's on a pre-release promo 12" gathering dust under the stairs. I'm not proud of it.

It's off the Favourite Spanish Dishes EP... originally a Linda Ronstadt song, written by Mike Nesmith. Any chance you could upload those tracks sometime? Would be most appreciated!

Ideal for finding those hidden gems in record shops and at record fairs, this brilliant unit has a built in speaker, headphone socket, line out/line in and even pitch control! Works on battery & mains via (included) adaptor Probably not as easy to carry around / put in your pocket as an IPOD though!!!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 19 April 2008 Author Posted 19 April 2008 Thanks so very much Hairy! Really appreciate that and any time I can return the favour, just let me know. I especially love God Damn the Sun - one of the blackest songs ever.

I've often considered getting a USB turntable, but, a) £129 b) the only ones I know of record to wav. files and you then have to convert them - twice the work c) I already have too much stuff plugged into my PC
Bellend Sebastian Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Did you get that Lemonheads track, Trav? I'm in the process of converting my CD singles to MP3 and just so happen to have that EP, so I'll have it on MP3 soon. Hell, I could even do it now if you're desperate
