-

A group of four songs by NZ bands included on an old New Order tape that has been kicking about.

Two All of these have been identified now, thanks Chris!

A1  They Were Expendable  - Big Strain  (with Jay Clarkson on vox)

A2  Toy Love - Frogs

A3  Beat Rhythm Fashion - War Worlds

A4  The Gordons - Quality Control


A1 is "Big Strain" by They Were Expendable.  (no they weren't, only just now saw a message altering me to my typo!)


More from Jay Clarkson - "The Boy With The Sad Hands", the only video of her post-band...


More songs available on this YouTube auto-generated playlist.

A2 is "Frogs" by Toy Love - available on Bandcamp.

A3 is "War Worlds" by Beat Rhythm Fashion, track 11 on "Bring Real Freedom". - available on Bandcamp through album purchase, only a track preview.

A4 is "Quality Control" by The Gordons ...not released but YouTube turns up the following.

* The version from "Volume Two", which goes for about $200, if you can find a copy for sale, as it has never been reissued


* A live version from 1981, at the Gladstone in Christchurch




Some of the more observant of you may have noticed FLLR 016, which would be Volume 10 of New Order filler, has been skipped.  This will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks, I just wanted a placeholder without breaking continuity of having 10 in a row versus 9 in a row.

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 GB001 - GaoBest tapes - Saint Etienne

  South Parade Pier, Portsmouth FLLR GB001 = Saint Etienne This first selection from this Maxell XLII 90 minute tape was recorded on 1993-03-05 at South Parade Pier, Portsmouth. Taper is abbreviated as YP, who probably recorded with a Sony TC-D3 DAT and Aiwa CM-30 mics.  GaoBest's copy comes directly from the taper. It's one of his favorites, he played it frequently before it got shelved and then loaned out to me to ascertain and compare to what's already out there.   This show is already up on YouTube, here, from  "whatdoidonow 1997 ", and my tape source doesn't better it. Turns out that my tape ran a bit fast compared to this reference, so slowed it down 4.67% or about .79 a semitone, so that it is the exact same 45:00 length.  I've also provided the original transfer so you can compare and conclude it indeed runs too fast. NOTE: this is not just true for Portsmouth, as it was pointed out to me, but for the entire tape, so I've also speed corrected t

FLLR 003 - New Order + ACR bits and bobs

-

Our third post in, and we have a bunch of miscellaneous, simply -lovely- Factory filler for you. New Order end their Saturday Live performance (which otherwise won't feature here, you can readily find this on YouTube) with a tease of Smokey Robinson's "My Girl" - A1 Then the band, appearing in an MTV Tokyo interview when they played Japan in February of 1987, talk about some of their quite innovative and remarkable music videos - A2 A3  - Then the video mix of 'Confusion' is featured, which you can hear here (hear hear!) Or you can watch the actual video, which Warners has generously (to make a few dollars from their catalog) shared online. What struck me when I first saw this video (on the Substance 1989 video compilation) is that you could clearly see the name of the person featured getting ready to go to the show, at about 1:25 in, as this clip coveniently reveals.  ALISE BITIC.   And incredibly enough, here she is today, now
