Cardiacs Rarities/bootlegs/whatnot

[Jason]

Picture of Misery is on the Brixton Ace 1983 bootleg (and maybe others?)

The New General is on the aforementioned Rarities CD, as well as a few bootlegs

wow didn´t expect that Picture of Misery is such a good soundboard recording. where can I get the whole bootleg album?

Wow, thanks for this!

wow! fantastic to actually hear these - i thought they were the stuff of myth and legend! but who's that singing on Picture of Misery?

[Sterbus]

Any chances to get our filthy hands on a download of that Brixton 83?

[andrewb]

or stonehenge 84 (which i've been led to believe is where The New General is taken from)

We had a thread for the Stonehenge '81 bootleg here, but it hasn't been updated in ages. As for the Brixton '83 bootleg, which is here, it looks like that hasn't been updated either.

Of course, you could always put in a request...

Thanks!

Does anyone have the Katherine in a Cupboard/Monsoon Bassoon/Sleepy People demos/bootlegs listed in OP's link?

[andrewb]

yes, thankyou for the brixton ace link - i first saw cardiacs in 84, and any recordings from this time or earlier get me very excited!

referring to the OP, i tried contacting this andy thompson chap about 6 months ago, but never received a reply

i do have a few of the related things from his list (unfortunately not the really rare stuff) - all on cassette but could convert and share them if you're interested:

monsoon bassoon - redoubtable
sleepy people - paint a ceiling on the sky
pop a cat a petal (this is somehow sleepy people related, think its early ultrasound?)
ring - clockwork people demo (thompson's list is the only place i've ever seen this on the web, mine is a cassette copy made years ago - not a 10/10 in sound quality though!)

[Spyda]

. . . seeing as it's the festive season . . .

Stonehenge 1981
Stonehenge 1984

Have a great 2014!

[andrewb]

thanks again spyda and a happy new year to you too!

stonehenge 84 appears to be a bit of a jigsaw puzzle - never heard those 3 tracks you just posted, but there's other songs from this show to be fond on youtube (posted in 2 parts)

according to this thread from the pond:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1049

the entire show was shared here a few years ago. anybody care to re-up (in the spirit of goodwill to all)?

[Spyda]

Hmm, yes, some files missing from '84 ??
Not sure what happened there, I'll try to track them down and repost

I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in hearing these andrewb if you'd care to share?

Remember to put them in The Pond
