If Music Could Talk

Marky, You did it again. You showed the world how much the record companies are holding out by giving us so much. You had me at the first 4 discs, which I have wanted to listen to in their entirety as far back as I knew they existed and never expected to actually get to ever hear. Everything after t...

A while back, I posted this link to a zip file with a good number of tunes on it.

However, I know I have other tunes out there on an old hard drive somewhere. If I get some free time, I'll look for it and see what else I can share.

You've done it once again. You put a big fat spotlight on just how underwhelming the "official deluxe version" of Combat Rock is by offering up this massive box set as a comparison.

Great job!!!!

I've always had a love hate relationship with this album.
I loved the tunes but I hated the way it sounded like it was hastily recorded on a boombox.
You have somehow managed to get rid of the cheap boombox sound quality.
This is awesome.
Thanks.

I have to say every time an official re-release happens like Combat Rock, I can't help but wonder what Marky would have done if the record label could have seen fit to commission him for a reissue. Oh well, at least we get to enjoy his labors of love on this forum. Excellent job as always on the San...

There's a Facebook page dedicated to BAD called "Big Audio Dynamite Appreciation Society" and Espen Esmark has posted several BAD related boots including this one for those fans who aren't on here. Here's the link:

Around the turn of the century, a team of BAD Superfans put together a multi disk compilation called "The BAD Files". The brain child behind it was if you were to purchase all of the proper album releases, this collection would contain every other track out there (remixed a sides, non album b sides,...

After This is BAD was released, the powers that be were saying it didn't sell well so they weren't pursuing any more special edition CDs for the time being. What a shame :(

They are also on this compilation

How about Music Relief '94 – What's Going On?
Mick Jones was one of many contributors on that.

Hi MadPhil.
Here is a file I keep with some semi-rare CSI tunes on it. I just added the Late News song to it last week after some kind soul shared it with me on another forum. Enjoy!!!

Wow. The link is already down before I could download it. Can you repost it please?

"The tapes Mick discovered included 37 tracks in total. These have been pared down to the 21 best versions. Every song they recorded is represented here" That would suggest there were more than one version of 16 of the tracks. I know i'm repeating here. Would only be of interest to an avid collecto...

I was just curious if the 16 repeated tracks sounded the same or if there were noticeable differences. Its very likely none of us know, but with all of the bootlegs floating around, I was wondering if someone here had heard them. That's all.

I was recently listening to the special edition of London Calling and I noticed in the liner notes that the actual Vanilla Tapes actually had 37 tracks on it and only 21 of them are on the CD. It claims that every song is represented, indicating that the other 16 tracks are alternate takes of songs ...
