Photo of the Whisky taken from a KCRA newscast from 2025 that showed a dump trick (of all things) running into the building:    • Dump truck plows into Hollywood's iconic W...   

In preparing these, I noticed they ran about 3% fast compared to the old version so they are speed-corrected to match that source.

Lossless version, which is also speed-corrected.

FLLR 041 - The End (demos)

-

  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 ...

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

-
Image
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 GB003 - Pulp 1993-03-05 South Parade Pier, Portsmouth [ANA1] +

-
Image
(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)
