tAPE FLLR

Fractured/Image playlist While the focus of Tape Filler is always what lies between what you wanted and the end of the tape, it's also worthwhile to present a better-quality copy (two, actually!) of the main course while you're at it. This was recorded off-air by my associate bcingyou at the time it originally aired and improves on the Nth gen copy which Fr. Image shared. This to me is *the* seminal recording of independent origin for anybody who values both this group and So. Cal post-punk overall.  One of the tracks was released on a single, a "tenth anniversary commemorative souvenir"...looks like I own one of the green vinyl copies.  Don't ask me where it is at present, hopefully in alphabetical order on a shelf. The first filler track is a Flesh Eaters (or "Flesheaters", I've seen both spellings) track, also played on the 5th of December broadcast, but "Pony Dress" and not what ended up on the release.   I have links to a couple other...

  The End  1st demos  Spring / Summer 1984  tracklist   Over My Shoulder [ 0:00 ] / Entertainment Tonite [ 2:44 ] / Love Comes Home [ 6:04 ] / Don't Go Thru This [ 9:07 ] / Changed My Name [ 11:02 ]    Kindly provided by RH, and shared here for the first time, that I know of. This is a second generation copy, so it's a bit hissy as a result, but not enough to detract from the proceedings. RH: " 'The End' were an 80's group from Texas. Austin or maybe Dallas - can't remember. TM was good friends with them. So was Woody, Dr. Death of Deadly Records - the promoter of the KLSU Section 25 show in 1985. "The End" were all about dark, synth wave. They played a lot of shows in Louisiana. I think they had one 7" and one 12". Saw them a few times - really good live." 'Love Comes Home' written by Tench only. The rest are Tench/David. Would love to find whether these are listed on Discogs but as there's 80+ bands with that ...

  This "tape filler" on the pictured tape surfaced a few years ago, and I am as clueless now (at least until being updated by the fabulous Fractured/Image) as I was then.  Information (and files) supplied by the legendary "bcingyou". He notes: "I perhaps incorrectly transcribed notes on insert from trader's letter (which I can't locate) as filler being from "Sylvia's Parguts". This is obviously from vinyl as you can hear from surface noise before and after tracks but I can't find any match on Discogs. This sounds like a New Order influenced band from mid to late 80s or possibly a side project since keyboards sound like New Order's from that period. Any help with correction to the ridiculous band name is appreciated." He subsequently added:  "Only thing I can find is that 'paraguitas' in spanish means tiny umbrella." Suspect we'll never get to the bottom of this, but won't go down without swinging...  ...

  Archive dot org has all the details Next up in the GaoBest pile was this show, which is one of two audience recordings which are known to exist for this show. recorded by both C.C. and J.F. with Sony PC-62 mics into a WM-D3.  The other audience recording was done by somebody we know as "UKBT". GaoBest got his copied directly from J.F. when he visited him so it has an iron-clad lineage.  As well as a 16kHz line... The master clone of the CC&JF version is already online though...if not here than via the link at the very top.  However, our suspicion is that it was sourced via minidisc so it's not truly lossless....but we won't dwell on that. There are also two incomplete soundboard recordings, both taken from different versions of  The Cure's Play Out , there's a two-hour one taken from the original Windsong VHS posted by " Marble Girl ": Or you can listen to them here: As well as, unbeknownst to me (and not in the archive dot org link), a soundch...

(YT link) Recording done by Yannick P. using Aiwa CM-30s plugged into a Sony TCD-D3 DAT.  This is a first generation cassette copy made on high quality Maxell XLII tape. The extant version on YouTube (from  @dirtypearl ) is an Nth gen copy taken from the same source recording, most likely. This also includes the soundcheck, which wasn't included on the above. In addition we get filler from the best bands possible, starting with St. Etienne.  This is a brief snippet of "Nothing Can Stop Us Now", which you can find in full here . This then followed by three tracks from Cocteau Twins December 1995 Black Session....actually it's followed by the Pulp soundcheck, but I've grouped that above...and then succeeded by the Cocteaus, followed by Echo and the Bunnymen doing "With A Hip". There's a couple of versions of this set online.  This is the best SQ. Holly Hotfoot CratesClouds All of these can be heard / downloaded here. FLLR GB003 (lossless FLAC)

thehappyone (me) GaoBest supplied me with a black TDK Black Limited SA90 type II cassette, which I used to improve the audio shared with the original RollingRockVideos footage, which you can see here: RollingRockvideos  (not me) Here are scans of the cassette (A Side, after I digitized so not rewound) and J card inserts: And here's a link to the FLAC set  for nerds wanting the original in lossless format.  This was a more recent digitization used for the YouTube share, with slightly tweaked audio, though it's substantially identical, I don't edit out any announcers or anything like that. Other ephemera associated with this gig... One of the Pulp band members (guitarist Mark Webber) was interviewed about their favorite Roskilde memories: Also, one track...quite a rare one live called "I'm The Man" was pro-shot, and can be seen here: Dargun Evans
