C'mon.Own up.Who is it??

I'd give it a listen :)

that's the second one out of 100 he's sold, the next is up already

If I'm not very much mistaken, the source of these CDs is the same guy who managed to produce that batch of melodicas that "Ian Curtis had given him at Leigh"........caveat emptor, that's all I'm going to say!

Perhaps we should take up a collection and do a weed.

Just a thought.

Its surely winging its way to Florida as we speak...

There will be 100 copies sold, you wait and see. Don't waste your money on it!

Wise words, mate.

You got a link to that mate?

Erm,booty boot boot.... bollocks!

I'm fairly sure that the contents of these CDs are of genuine interest. They are being sold by a known bootlegger though and I don't recommend anyone pay £45 quid for it now.

It sounds like he's putting this out (like the others) so expect to see them in HMV soon for a little less dosh.

There will also be other means of getting it too...

They're out there now at PureLiveGigs

since my knowledge of torrents is nonexistent, is there anyone willing to convert these babies to mp3?

Nooooooo!

If you read the seeders notes on PLG, he says they must not be converted to mp3.

1.Get yerself a torrent client (just Google utorrent) 2.Download the files via the PLG tracker (it's really easy) 3.Burn the flacs from your HD to a CDR using Nero or similar 4.Do what you like with them as long as you don't redistribute as mp3!!! 5.Finally, say thank you to the seeder on PLG for saving you £45!

dont know who the uploader is, but he's a star , that's for sure

ok, sounds easy enough. cheers!

First thoughts...

Does this confirm Ian was a United fan?

What did Hannett do to Insight? It sounds so much better on these 'dirty' versions...

This stuff is fairly unremarkable for the most part. We get a few of Hannett's sample experiments, like the lift from Insight, the glass smashing from I Remember Nothing, and the unholy wail from the start of Exercise One. The rest are just various composites that became tracks from the Closer sessions. Not much different from the finished versions, just a bit of instrumentation and arrangement changed around and some rough edges. Not too interesting, although Hannett tells Ian to fuck off at one point.
