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 I think you can surmise from "Other than a brief mention of Courtney Love's filing of the missing persons report, her name is irrelevant for the purpose of listing these major issues of negligence, cover-up, destruction of evidence, and outright corruption by the 1994 and 2014 Seattle authorities" that naturally that someone didn't quite appreciate being implicated in the death of her paramour and took a legal 2x4 to the guy.

Makes me wonder if any of the people involved in the "Cobain Case" then graduated onto 9/11...

The next set of tracks are an excerpt from a live Blur set containing the following tracks:

Chemical World (start cut) / There's No Other Way / To the End (La Comedie) / Advert

That sequencing occurs for the following Parklife tour shows:

1994-09-15 - Venus De Milo, Boston

So it could either be one of those, or one that we don't have the setlist for.  I'll leave it to the Blur sleuths to try to precisely ID this one.

This is followed by a great live acoustic set from a group called Riverside that appeared on Live 105 from what I'd guess back around the time One was released in 1992.  

Really good album, sounding like The Ocean Blue (they too were from Pennsylvania) because I read it was produced by one of the band members.  Too bad the start of Galaxie was cut on here, but at least James and Waterfall are complete.

Was a bit startled to see that Riverside were still active and touring!  Here's a clip of them from last October at The Regent!


And then last but certainly (not) least, that cry-baby son of a... himself, Morrissey.

We have for this fragment:

intro / Billy Budd (afflicted with azimuth alignment issues likely on the audience cassette master) / Have-a-Go Merchant / Spring Heeled Jim / You're The One For Me Fatty / The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get / Whatever Happens, I Love You (cut)

I won't belabor an already long writeup, but this looks to have been from February 1995, but more precise dating I haven't yet determined.

FLLR 023 - New Order tapes (part 11)

 New Order Tapes (part 11) Getting all the FLLR in Order (awful puns never cease)....we're now ready to post #023. This next set does not feature much in the way of actual New Order aural content, but a couple of other fellow traveler bands that often comprised filler slots on cassettes that traders would mail to one another. The first few tracks are taken from a New Order tape of their 26th February 1983 Kolingsborg Stockholm, Sweden performance.   Prepended to the set are some oddities... 1)  Lesson 27, part 4, dialogue ...history lesson.  Pay attention, John.   Yes, Professor Garcia.  What did you read today?   Latin American history.  What do you remember?   It was an exciting era.  Name an important country?   Mexico, for example.  W hat did you learn about it?   It is a beautiful land.  Are its people successful?   Yes, they work together. 2)  Then there's a loop of a Bernard Sumner stating that he's just waiting for the sequencer to work, taken from that same Koling

FLLR 039 - Misfit Toys

    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.
