    Split single

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    if anyone has bothered to do lossless rips of either the demos single or the cover, please get in touch!  i think i have every other Wilco rarity (and every official show) to trade.  i'm just not able to do vinyl rips and there is no download code for these.

     

    thanks!

    Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 20th Anniversary Box Set Releases (09/30/2022)

    i for one don't like when albums are remixed.  i feel like they are futzing with the historical document.  i'm thinking of The Beatles expanded editions, All Things Must Pass, The Band, etc.  the way i see it, if they are going to do it, okay, fine, but at least make the original album (remastered) a part of the box.  don't just release the remix and tons of bonus material in a box.

     

    obviously, they won't remix it.  even if it were possible, they haven't remixed the past three reissues and i don't really care if they remaster it.

     

    as far as if the bonus material is new to us or not, that's kinda beside the point.  owning it officially is what i'd like to do.

    a live disc would always be excellent, but i have all of the deluxe editions, the front of house and roadcase shows....and that's something like 120+ live shows?  i'm sure it will be like the Summerteeth, where there is a disc of outtakes/demos and a live show.  i remember people raving over the demos that leaked around that time, but i haven't listened to them in 15+ years outside of "Venus Stopped The Train."

    I was in the shower and "Venus Stop/Stopped The Train" popped into my head randomly.    Been waiting almost 20 years for an official release of that track.  I just realized that this could be out this year.  Summerteeth deluxe (though delayed a year) was announced in early September and released in November.  Could we be approaching an announcement?  Has anyone heard anything?

    Hi all - just sorting through some files that I lost partially in a hard drive crash some time ago.  At some point, years ago, Wilco offered a free download of this show (and also the April 3 show).  I realized I actually have the April 3 show because it was eventually released as a Front Of House show.

     

    Can anyone please provide a link to either the first track (I think the only one I'm missing) or ideally the show show (since it was free).

     

    If you can be convinced to dig it out, I can trade any officially released show in lossless (I think that I have them all).

     

    Thanks!

    Summerteeth Box Delays

    so, despite ordering the vinyl and CD box sets, my vinyl set e-mail came with an mp3 download of the show with the CD.  after going back and forth with Kungfu, they said that was the intention (to match the digital release).  anyway, i can't rip vinyl and was wondering if anyone had done a lossless needledrop of the show from the box set?  unfortunately, there is no download coupon the box.

    hey folks.  i'm currently converting my collection over to lossless (with cloud back-up!) and so i've been busying digging out all of my rarities and ripping, tagging, downloading or scanning artwork, etc.

     

    i would like to add these tracks to my collection but as i'm sure i've mentioned before, i have no vinyl equipment and even if i did, i'd have no idea how to begin ripping these tracks.  i know it may not be entirely appropriate to ask on the forum, but i was wondering if anyone would be willing to do a lossless rip for me?  i'd be happy to "trade" any other Wilco rarity in lossless format as well.  i've purchased nearly everything (including all of the lossless downloads) and contributed to the "rarities thread."

     

    any help would be greatly appreciated and please PM me.

     

    thanks in advance.

    so glad to hear about the "new" tracks.

     

    "Venus Stopped The Train" is not included because it does not meet the criteria of having been officially released before.

     

    Amazon (and maybe iTunes) has an option for digital booklet.  I ordered the physical CDs from importcds, so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to e-mail me the digital booklet if they have it?  I'm a completist and I would love to throw it in the directory with my lossless CD rips.  If you can help, please PM me.

    i wish somebody would rip some of these b-sides.  are there only two?  i mean, i've pre-ordered the CD from Amazon and i don't do vinyl these days, but i am an OCD completist.

     

    i guess i'll ask: does anyone have vinyl rips or the ability to do so??

    African music

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    while the King Sunny Ade, Olatunji, Fela Kuti and Éthiopiques recommendations are all great, i am surprised to get this far and not see anything put out by Analog Africa mentioned.

     

    specifically:

    the first two volumes of their series documenting what many Afropop afficianodoes consider to be the best African band, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou.  i am by no means an exeprt on African music, but the first volume is the compilation that got me onto this music.  there is literally  nothing funkier than what was coming out of West Africa in the 1970s.  Analog Africa CDs aren't cheap, but they are very high quality with massive amounts of photos and liner notes.  the gentleman that owns the company and compiles these sets travels to Africa all the time and the stories he tells about tracking down these records and the interviews, etc. are worth the price alone.

     

    here are the Analog Africa compilations that i can recommend without hesitation:

     

    Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou - "The Vodoun Effect" 1972-1975

    Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou - "Echos Hypnotiques" ‎

    Various Artists - Legends Of Benin

    Various Artists - African Scream Contest
