On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

  1. Currently enjoying the listen. It turned a hard day into a trippy one with this long lost sounds.
    Looking at the dear old mountains through the window and wishing you the best ending for this crazy year.
    Didn't know there is a cd edition with all those extra tracks. A real find.
    As a Wire fan the association makes it even more fascinating. The kind of sounds that 've been a lifetime company indeed.
    Wine glass in hand.I'll submerge back into the listen. I just had to stop it for a while to send you my grateful words.
