Re: Rat Patrol 2LP acetate
Just as an FYI, the samples are full rips of each side and are downloadable. The sample rate is only 130 kbps, tho.

Re: Rat Patrol 2LP acetate
Interesting. I think we discussed this recently, but this is post double album Rat Patrol, pre Combat Rock?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

We did, but I'm damned if I can find it. These came up on Facebook first but the guy quickly disappeared, possibly alerted to their value. Would be interesting to hear what is on them.

Re: Rat Patrol 2LP acetate
Oh, I totally agree. I should have been more clear, as a small time vinyl collector, I'm picky about the sound quality, I can't imagine paying that kind of money for vinyl that's not been treated with TLC like I do my stuff.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 May 2021, 4:09pmYup.

Re: Rat Patrol 2LP acetate
Any KOTH is great by me! So I just reread everything on the auction, it's probably not as much about the condition of the records (cover appears to have water damage) but more about being the original acetate pressings, which I get, very collectible.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 May 2021, 4:15pmSparky wrote: ↑13 May 2021, 4:12pmOh, I totally agree.

Should we just pool all our money and buy it?

Re: Rat Patrol 2LP acetate
Straight To Hell is definitely an unheard mix for starters, louder bass and percussion parts. And Know Your Rights sounds great so far. There are also little touches not present in other mixes. I'm really digging this, the mixing sounds much more advanced than the common Rat Patrol mixes. And much better quality too despite the crackles. This is a major find, I'm hoping the full contents come into circulation.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
