[Sundayguy]

I've got you. Follow this link, and Merry Christmas! FIXED! New link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pa7a0fsg ... 2.rar/file
All three are .wav files, I hope you can make use of them, and yes, Time To Die is a vinyl rip, cleaned up and pitch corrected. (Sorry had an MP3 in there by accident)

Cheers mate!

Thank you so much! It's really a gift, and a most marvelous one! May gods smile upon you for your kindness, my friend

You're very welcome! I notice in your singles compilation some "extra" tracks are included in some of the singles. U.S. B-sides, and such.
There was a 7" and 12" U.S. promo of Are Friends Electric? each with a shorter single edit (clocking in a 3:45). Same song on both sides of the promo, a Stereo A side, and a Mono B side. **NEW LINK BELOW, SCROLL DOWN**
Happy Holidays!!

Re-upped the AFE single, new link below

So here is the last post for this year. Instead of a new collection it's about additions and corrections to the existing ones. You people seem to like the idea of adding the foreign B-sides to the folders, so I got myself down to the job with the help of Discogs and a great site called 45cat.com. It was a (sometimes) revealing search, with some very surprising alternate flips, and I could source some of those successfully. So here's the list, you simply go to the folder and download the files that I note below. Or, better still, redownload the whole folder as the files are retagged and some covers are added.

Thank you all for your kind comments and generous help, even with little bits and pieces, it's highly appreciated! See you in the next year (I'm away since 27 of December until 10th of January), hopefully nothing will stand in the way of further collections.

Merry Christmas everyone and best of luck in the New Year!

[Fred80s]

Are Friends Electric? Stereo and mono USA promo in .wav format

That .rar contains 2 identical stereo recordings (no mono version at all), and they're 16/48 WAV but converted from MP3 (see spectrogram below, showing the telltale decimation).

The .rar also contains pictures of 2 different releases (promo 12" and promo 45). Is the audio actually sourced from the 45, or is it a fan reconstruction, or what?

The mono 45 sides were pressed for the benefit of AM radio stations, but after the 1960s, they were usually not special mixes, but rather just underwhelming "fold-downs" of the stereo versions. I always hold out hope that they were at least mastered differently, regardless, so I'm looking forward to hearing this one.

[PKPN]

Here is a corrected 7" version of ABC "When Smokey Sings" (has sax solo at 3:01, among other differences): (Mega link)

It's from a CD source (Another Lost Decade: The '80s - Hard to Find Hits)
