FLLR DAT-02 - (More From) A Box of DATs

-
Image
My project for much of last year was to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's more from whence the first set ( FLLR DAT-01 ) came from... Starting off with 20 seconds of what appears to sound like keyboard typing ...wait, is that right?  I guess that's what it is. Next we have six Cure B-Sides, included here because most of this is supposed to be live material so this can't be anything but filler, even if it does appear on the J-Card. Lament (Flexipop version) Airiel (spelled various ways) from the 1982 Kid Jensen session Purple Haze (Hendrix), which first appeared on the Stone Free (a

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

My project for this part of the year is to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's the first set. Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (The Wipers) .   The description can tell it to you better than I can... looks like the taper/compiler had a copy of the Eight Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers comp. Hole - Over The Edge (The Wipers) [cut] It's probably not becoming to give any credence to any conspiracy theories about Kurt's passing but let's just say reading about the possibilities did pass the time for me one warm summer nearly 30 years ago...Amusing to see the guy still at it...though

FLLR 039 - Misfit Toys

-
Image
    Misfit Toys - Too Short (version) This is a bit different than the one listed on Discogs , and likely postdates the 1987 effort.   Left as (you guessed it?) tape filler on a New Order live tape.  Courtesy of BV who provided me his collection, and where this is taken from. This doesn't include "Mirror Black (Shadows)" [A3] "Fade To Black" [B2] or "Promise Me" [B3], but instead includes "Someday" and "Domino".   Tracklist   01 Someday  [not on first demo tape] 02 Lost Then Found  [A2 on demo tape] 03 Domino  [not on first demo tape] 04 Tell Me (charted in 1988)  [B1 on demo tape] 05 The Ordinary  [A1 on demo tape]   They were short-lived college rock chartists, but quickly sank into obscurity again until inexplicably, they were rediscovered, which prompted the more recent activity online and this post, as I stumbled into these again.   A potted history:   "The Misfit Toys was founded in Maryland by Ed and Elizabeth Fusco in

FLLR 038 - New Order (side project) Tapes (part 17)

-

  Well, some of the filler isn't from New Order, per se , but since it's still New Order related I won't alter the numbering scheme. The first few tracks were from the heralded return of New Order, after a five year absence where all the members went onto their various side projects, with varying degrees of commercial and critical success.   I figure most of the members by then were running on fumes so it was not a moment too soon when they all got back together again.  Unfortunately, Gillian's newly born daughter had health issues so going into the 21st century, she ended up being having to suspend her participation, at least until Grace's condition improved and/or was managed (I don't know any intimate details) Regret 'TFI Friday' (27 Nov 1998) Temptation - Commonwealth Games, Albert Square 21 Sep 1998...with full intro, which I haven't seen before.  This was taped live from Malaysian TV.  New Order introduced...or at least prefaced...by royalty.

FLLR 037 - New Order Tapes (part 16)

-
Image
  This starts with 30 seconds of audience ambience, and 30 seconds of Sisters Of Mercy playing Emma (not the Hot Chocolate tune) There are at least 72(!) bands that have been called "The End" (in all conceivable genes, though most involve guitar music), so even my best google-fu has not yet uncovered which of these this was. I had though this was the Australian band  The End(16) , with Brett Myers, who went on to play in Died Pretty, but it's not. These songs are really good.  If anybody can shed more light on this, please get in touch! For Echo & The Bunnymen, these tracks provide the filler for this particular offering. Tracks from Radio City Music Hall  in NYC, during the 2nd North American leg of their tour that year.  The Bunnymen are up to nearly 1400 live performances, which is a lot, they've been around for nearly 45 years (give or take 1993-1996, and they took a break in 2000) Soul Kitchen (The Doors) / New Direction / Show Of Strength / Lips Like Sugar /

FLLR 035 - New Order Tapes (part 15)

-
Image
Installment fifteen....yes, 15...of New Order tape filler brings us quite an assortment of items. The first track includes a live track from a Jimmy Page / Paul Rodgers collaboration called "The Firm"...I don't know what the track is called.   And that will be that, as I really don't want to get into a long-winded diatribe about their performance since I couldn't care less about Led Zeppelin or Bad Company, but just in case you do ... Photo Copyright : Atlantic Records UK/Warner Music UK Ltd./Jimmy Page/Paul Rodgers, 1985   Next up are a few selections from Gordon Gano's outfit Violent Femmes, "It's Gonna Rain", the intro of "Horns Of Dilemma" without the bulk of the song, and "Gimme The Car"  Not sure where this is from. Here's them playing "It's Gonna Rain" from 2016....while everything else has, his voice indeed has not changed...and the banjo, sax, and Weber grill as an impromptu drum set are very nice to

FLLR 036 - All About Eve - 7 Apr 1988 - Vrendenburg, Utrecht

  All About Eve 1988-04-07 Vrendenburg Utrecht The Netherlands Setlist 00 intro   [0:27] 01 What Kind Of Fool (instrumental)  [1:33] 02 Every Angel  [3:40] 03 Candy Tree  [2:51] 04 Never Promise  [4:01] 05 In The Clouds  [3:29] 06 Flowers In Our Hair  [3:51] 07 Shelter From The Rain  [5:29] 08 Wild Hearted Woman  [3:22] 09 In The Meadow  [5:56] Total  34:53   This was filler on another New Order tape in my collection.  It's the only thing I have by them, it seems. They were opening for the Mission (UK). The listing that came with my tape (Nth gen) didn't document "What Kind Of Fool" but setlist.fm had that covered .     Documented on the All About Eve gigography site ... mine runs a minute and a half shorter so either the one used for the site is slow or mine is fast, or maybe the truth is somewhere in between.
