Much appreciated (I have this vinyl) but the sound quality on this MP3 is terrible. Marley Marl Scratch makes my ears hurt with the abrasiveness of the digitization. Not sure if my vinyl copy sounds the same……

Comment on Tears For Fears – “Head Over Heels” (Preacher Mix) by Terrence Haute

Thanks for this.
I’m familiar with the album version and only recently learned about the Preacher Mix. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to find it.

Thanks again.

Comment on Spandau Ballet – “Lifeline” (Dub Version) & (Acappella) by Tommaso Labranca

Hi,
I had once a 12″ of Lifeline and the song started with a long double horn blow. The cover featured Mr. Hadley sitting along a river bank. I can’t find that version.
Do you have ever heard it? Or maybe it was NOT Lifeline? It was so long ago, and “memory fades”.

Thanks

Comment on Peter Gabriel – “In Your Eyes” (Special Mix) by aj

Thank you so much for posting this. Your site is great and this isn’t the only gem either. There are so many semi-obscure 7″ and 12″ mixes out there and its great that folks like you are helping us enjoy them. If I have any that I don’t come across on the site I’ll see if you need them, although my rips may not be quite as nice. I just haven’t been able to swing an audio interface and its my only weak link.

At last!! Yay!!!! Why is this not sold anywhere, literally one of the best songs ever written and produced? I would’ve happily bought it on Amazn. Why can you get the Instrumental version there, but not the Special Mix?! Why do they not want to make money off this?? And yes, the sound of yours is much better than the 128kbps AAC (audio portion) version on uTube (apparently also on vinyl, but not as obviously, despite being lower quality) (UMPlayer to DL). I’ll have to look on your site for some specs on your vinyl setup… I’m sure you have it somewhere. I even get the ‘thump’ of the beginning of the record :p , lol, and the static/clicks which remind me of listening to it as a teenager on vinyl. (Reminds me why I don’t miss vinyl, even with this good recording.)

My dad bought the 7-inch single when it came out, which has Special Mix on the B-side, and that’s the only side I really listened to. Some guy dropped and broke it at a dance I was DJ’ing! Arghh! Why couldn’t he have broken my dad’s Heart single? For nerds, a heads-up: this MP3 has no ID3v1 tags, and only limited ID3v2 tags [add with 1by1 player [windows/freeware] or any host of players/taggers, and is is encoded at 320kbps.

Steam “Quiet Steam” (B-side of Digging In The Dirt) is also a difficult one to get your hands on (also not sold digitally on amazun, only used, but at least that’s available on CD). I DID go as far as purchase the 7-inch vinyl version off Ebay years ago just for the B-side! (I wish he’d make a much less loud but not so polar oppositely “quiet” version of Steam; clearly, “Quiet Steam” was some kind of thought process validating the thought, “hm, that studio version of Steam is too loud”.)

Thanks for keeping these old, neglected, and nearly forgotten tracks alive and from being lost to time altogether. In the case of these really rare tracks the rec. co’s just give you the middle finger about, it really is strongly arguably the right thing to do. I have a lot of browsing to do! Recommend local save vs stream, for posterity. RP’ing, esp w/proper tags, wouldn’t be a bad idea too.

Not so exclusive, both WWIII and The Truth appeared on ‘Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five’ album, which was also known as ‘Work Party’ outside of the US.

It’s the Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, NOT the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201!!!
