Gary Barrett (alfienoakes on Dime) RIP

Gary was a well-known figure in the Glasgow music scene, after working in A1 Sounds / Fopp and Avalanche Records for over 20 years. He also promoted a few shows in the mid 80s.
When minidisc technology emerged, he immediately set himself up for recording and began chronicling all the gigs he attended. This is a record of all the existing MD’s I found in his massive music collection, which his brother asked me to transfer on to hard drive.
Gary passed away suddenly from natural causes in Sept 2006, ironically just after he purchased his first HD recorder and only got to record 2 shows with (Green On Red at King Tut’s being the last one).
Big thanks to jamroom for taking over this project and the many dimebots who have helped him in this massive endeavour. This MD Project is a tribute to Gary's passion for live music and supporting local and small touring bands.


Band members:
Tom Verlaine – Vocals, Guitar
Billy Ficca – Drums
Fred Smith – Bass, Vocals
Richard Lloyd – Guitar, Vocals


Gig Notes:

Gary never taped any support acts, if there were any.
Recording notes and sound quality:

Added fades and boosted the volume by +4db. There's some chat to be heard (why?) and an enthusiastic clapper / singer near Gary for a while, but it's still a great listen.

Many thanks to jokingman for completing the setlist.

 
Do NOT sell these recordings, trade FREELY!
No art, make you own.
Enjoy!

Bearing in mind the rarity and historical significance of this Dutch recording, it should be kept in circulation, and thanks to Hans De Vente for sharing his tape.

Television - Neon Boys and Double Exposure Demos -'73-'74-'75

Rebooted...
A Dave Sez contibution...

The Neon Boys - That's All I Know (Right Now) (1973)

Studio Sessions/Recordings @192

The obscure but semi-legendary Neon Boys were a precursor to Television, featuring Tom Verlaine, Richard Hell, and drummer Billy Ficca. Their duration, from the fall of 1972 to the spring of 1973 according to Clinton Heylin's From the Velvets to the Voidoids, was brief. They were certainly ahead of their time, however, as recordings that later surfaced proved. On "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts," which finally came out as one side of a seven-inch EP years later, the group played with an edge suggestive of both speed freaks and punk rock. There was shrieking guitar, half-spoken lyrics declaimed in a semi-state of hysteria, and words that were too scabrous to have been considered for commercial airplay in 1973 (certainly on "Love Comes in Spurts," at any rate). A then-unknown Dee Dee Ramone unsuccessfully auditioned for the band as a second guitarist before the Neon Boys, still a trio, decided to disband.

Of course all three of the principals would rapidly resurface as members of the original Television lineup, although Hell dropped out of that group before their first album. Hell would re-record "Love Comes in Spurts" himself as a solo act. The Neon Boys' versions of "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts" were issued as one side of a seven-inch EP on Shake Records that had two later Hell solo recordings on the other side.
Another Neon Boys recording, "High-Heeled Wheels," surfaced on a CD single (which also included the two previously released Neon Boys cuts) on the UK Overground label. According to From the Velvets to the Voidoids, three other Neon Boys songs — "Tramp," "Hot Dog," and "Poor Circulation" — were also recorded, although they have not yet
been released. [Source: AMG]

The press release that came with the single, written by Richard Hell, says in part:
"That’s All I Know (Right Now) and Love Comes In Spurts were recorded in late 1973.  It was the final effort of the group we tentatively (never finding the second guitarist we needed to gig) called The Neon Boys.  We’d formed about six months earlier.  It was my first group and my first bass.  The tape was made at the cheapest four track studio we could find advertised in the paper--a man’s basement in Brooklyn.  The only way we’ve tampered with the recording is to remix it--no new overdubs.  We’ve left it in mono since no single instrument could be located to send through a speaker because each track on the tape carries more than one instrument/vocal."

On the 18th of November 1976 Richard Hell - later to be Richard Hell and the Voidoids - released the three-track 45rpm 7" Another World EP on Ork Records in the US.

Television - Double Exposure Studio Demos 

1974-75 (A+, FLAC)

From the Dave Sez archive: 
The crown jewels of Television bootlegs, the late 1974 demos recorded at Good Vibrations Studio, NYC and produced by Richard Williams, observed (not produced!) by Brian Eno, and the Ork sessions recorded in August 1975, allegedly at Fairland Studios. The track Little Johnny Jewel is taken from the Ork single recorded during this session.

Lossless rip of the Double Exposure bootleg, omitting the lower-quality live tracks available in full on other boots. These demos would also be released from a much worse cassette source with speed problems as the "Bryan Eno Demos" and as the "Fairland demos". All CD and alternative artwork included.

Track List

1. Prove It (12-74)
2. Friction (12-74)
3. Venus (12-74)
4. Double Exposure (12-74)
5. Marquee Moon (12-74)
(bass: Richard Hell)

6. Hard On Love (8-75)
7. Friction (8-75)
8. Careful (8-75)
9. Prove It (8-75)
10. Fire Engine (8-75)
11. Little Johnny Jewel (8-75)

Richard Lloyd - Stock Audio (c. 2012, 320)

Stock audio is music that has been created for use as background music for videos, films, television, etc. Lloyd has produced a set of stock music himself, and it’s not just instrumental background rumblings either, as much of this material comes in the form of structured song composition with vocals. As far as I know, none of this material has ever been on any album and seems to have first been made available in 2012, though we have no idea when it was actually recorded.

01 Want You (3:21)
02 Murder Boogie (5:36)
03 We Will Climb (6:34)
04 Diogenes (1:36)
05 Want You To Stay (3:03)
06 Tasting Quicksand (2:01)
07 Pull (4:13)
