Prince & The Revolution - 1999 Revisited (2 Discs) April 2, 1983


Aw yes. How many of us remember 1983? Damn, I was in 7th grade and probably 4'6" and 160 pounds of sweaty young man. Oh, the humanity. Akward times, for sure - but DaddyRich was already feeling Prince and the funk he brought to the radio when it so desperately needed it. This was also right about the time I gave up on commercial radio as I finally got a hint of what college radio was doing. So, insted of waiting all day for one of the big stations to play a song I liked, all I would do is tune into the right station at the right time and Bam! all the best music without obnoxious commercials. It was there I discovered disc jockeys who played nothing but hip-hop or funk for hours at a time! Imagine that. And I have never looked back. But I digress, this offering from the Purple Person is that rare treat - a full concert complimented with a rehearsal from the same tour. Long time friends of the Ape will recall my feeling for the music of Prince and will listen accordingly and undeniably be overjoyed. Some of my favorites from this era of the man are included in all ther live glory (the man plays a meeeeean guitar) - 'Controversy', '1999' and 'Dirty Mind' Woohoo! Takes me back to those heady days of bygone times. Hope you all enjoy.

Nine Inch Nails - Purest Feeling (Pretty Hate Machine Demos)




The one and only Trent Reznor. One of my favorite albums of all time is, of course, 'Pretty Hate Machine' and you can imagine my delight at finding these years ago. These are especially precious, to my mind, because of the pre-heavy heavy angst N.I.N absent here, that came to full fruition in the aforementioned album. Some of these are markedly different from the finished versions (as they should be) but, to my mind, hint at a more pop sensibility. Let's not underestimate the influence of the music of Ministry, who also started with a poppier sound and after a little soul-searching had found their dark niche, as it were. It all comes full circle when you hear the early music of Mr. Reznor and how danceable it was. I say this not as a slight towards any of his music, past or present. I just love the evolution and am grateful to be able to hear these songs in their gestational stages. I have a few more N.I.N. goodies that will be posted shortly. So , I hope you all enjoy these songs.

The Stooges - Studio Sessions 1972



As is often the case, I find a wonderful description on the web that trumps anything I could write. I recently rewatched "Velvet Goldmine" and continue to be impressed with Ewan MacGregor's Iggy imperesonation. Really uncanny stuff. Lots of goodness and Stooges' madness in this bootleg for you all to enjoy. The review below is from www.dmme.net/reviews/reviews5.html - they are a great resource for kicking musical knowledge.




"THE STOOGES are the band everyone has to re-visit from time to time to recall they were not only about noise. Iggy seems to overshadow hus mates while it was them who secured for the singer a space to freak out in. These recordings hail from 1972, around the "Raw Power" period and after it, when the band set to work on the follow-up. Welcomed in the fold was Scott Thurston whose Jerry Lee Lewis-ey piano shines in "Head On" and no one can ignore Ron Asheton's bass. Hectic rock'n'roll debuted on the "Metallic KO" live album but this version shows how unleashed the band was even in the studio. "Death Trip" is presented here in rough mix, not so wild as one that made the LP. Pop in his best Jagger mood.

"I Got Right", fantastic, organ-driven song eventually appeared in 1975 on Pop's album of the same name. Early variant could have been considered classic had it been released by the band. Kudos to the short solo Blackmore would've been proud of.

Detroit's WABX radio broadcast 1972 sessions and now fans can savour "Hard To Beat" and still poppy "Raw Power" taken off the station's vaults. In case you don't know: "Hard To Beat", once polished and loaded with fiery guitars, turned out as "Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell".

Another rock'n'roll of this kind is "Cock In My Pocket", previously known only by the "Metallic KO" rendition. But studio version appeared to exist with keyboards' firework provided by one Bob Sheff while . Also there are two jams, "Rubber Legs" and "Pin Point Eyes", dedicating the listener to THE STOOGES methods of work, tight and disciplined despite the rumours. Especially good is the latter, the blues, while James Williamson's solo of the former blows the socks off the feet.

Manzarek-like organ adorns mighty "Open Up & Bleed" which you could easily confuse with stoned Mick The Stone track. And more DOORS feel to "Johanna" to pop up later on Iggy's "Kill City".

A valuable addition to THE STOOGES' catalogue, a fun not only for a fan."

The Beatles - The River Rhine Tapes


Great selections from the 'Let It Be' and 'Get Back' sessions-era. Not a whole lot of Beatle-banter on this one, many boots of this era have endless studio chatter and clearly show the band falling apart. Although I value those editions as well, it gets kind of depressing to listen to. This one is just chock full of great versions of soon-to-be classics, God they are missed. The best part of this package it seems universally agreed upon is the emergence of George Harrison as a song-writig force to be reckoned with. This one (actually is part of a 3 disc set) has some wonderful sound quality and is worth many listens on your stereos children, more Beatles to come.

The Beatles - Sink in the Can


Some more Beatle goodness from the 1968-69 era of the band. Near the inevitable end that was soon to pass. This time frame for the band is among my favorites (hard to beleive they were only around for about 6-7 years on the scene) and is rich with outtake material. Doesn't hurt either that 'Abbey Road' is my second favorite album of theirs - anyone guess the first? Also, as a cool side note to this boot, tracks 7-16 are Ringo drumming for a Cat Stevens session.As ever, all are welcome to post any good finds (from any blog-related band) in the comments. Good friend of the blog Bucephalus has shared many great albums in the comments and all are welcome to do so as well.

Tool - Live at Maida Vale BBC 1993


I know the pictures are more recent than the recording (all you blog purists out there can kiss it...) but it is well-nigh impossible to find good pictures of them from that era. I remember all the cool promos I had for them that I gave away back in 1994, damn - a prettty woman can talk me out of damn near anything. Or at least they could back then, eh? Anyway, this little diamond here is a wonderful glimpse of the band before they became world-beaters. They so often remind me of Led Zeppelin and am glad they chose ot cover the Zep. Both bands had music with WEIGHT. The lyrics and the music are heavy, oops, HEAVY. I don't know how they sound like a 10 piece band but they pull it off. True virtuoso skill on every instrument, including Maynard and his voice. It's odd how music affects people in different ways, isn't it? When my wife was pregnant with our first son, we'd spend a lot of time at home relaxing and listneing to music. And DaddyRich, being who he is, generally has the run of the music selection. This would be 1996-1997 and for a long porton of that time I had Radiohead 'OK Computer' and Tool's 'Aenima' on steady rotation. Like clockwork, both of these deep and heavy classic albums would put her to sleep. I am not talking about soft levels of volume either, since appreciation of both albums increases exponentially with the rise of the volume. But, I digress. This is a quick little set (for Tool) and is as enjoyable today as it was lo those many years ago in Jolly Old England.

Bob Dylan - The Emmit Grogan Acetates (1963)


Oh, the awesome early Dylan. Just love this stuff and, knowing my penchant for all things rare and unusual in great music, sometimes even just an added second of studio chatter is enough to make a boot worthwhile to me. I know, I am a freak. Just ask the wife. Although this dates as 1963, it seems these recordings were also dated from 1964-65, so who knows? Things get murky sometimes in the wild and wooly world of acetates. I will also begin again to post some more outtakes and rarities from Mr. Zimmerman as soon as I can get them uploaded and have some pithy comments prepared for your edification and approbation.



Culled from the interwebs...

"Seven tracks from the Emmett Grogan acetates in superb stereo so clean there's little hint that acetates are the source. Bonus tracks also in excellent quality, to my knowledge best quality available. The Another Side acetates are sure to cause a stir. While these trax are the same as appear on the official album, in a couple of cases you hear the producer asking Dylan if he's ready and perhaps a count-in. All, that is, except "Mr Tambourine Man." This version is completely different, vocally and instrumentally, than the one recorded 6 months later and released on Bringing It All Back Home. This is a major find. Unlike the upbeat, optimistic, jaunty official version, this one is much slower, more sparse, sung like BD has the "worried blues," concerned that his muse may not return. A totally different song, different phrasing, added lines, a mistaken line, different ending. And who is that singing the choruses with Bob? [Jack Elliott] This version runs well over a minute longer than the released version, and ends without a guitar/harp solo. This one tune is more than worth the price of admission. "

The Cure - What Happened Behind The Door?



You know, it seems that every month I smack myself upside my head and exclaim, "how could I have not posted more (or any) of THIS band (insert name of any 1000 bands)". So, here I am again wondering how a band I love as much as The Cure has not made it's prescence felt more strongly on the Ape. And there is no good excuse, ladies and gentlemen. I shall begin to rectify that starting today. I have about 100 bootleg/rarities and thanks to the mighty SFRP , they keep coming. It seems kind of redundant to post so many individual boots , what with 'JoinThe Dots' being available and all, but I digress. I may even eventually post that. Wonderful disc set that is, just great. This wonderful collection is composed of early alternate takes for most of the disc and ends on a few cuts available on the classic acoustic disc. I may just have to put in that acoustic disc now for a listen, it's been too long. Hope you all enjoy.

Willie Nelson & Leon Russell Live in New Jersey 1979


Oh, the joy. It's Willie again, kids. This is the tour he did with Leon Russell that produced the timeless gem 'One For The Road' in 1979. Oh, if only I wasn't a snot-nosed 8 year-old then...sigh. Anyway, this album bears some resemblence to the former but is from the New Jersey show on that tour and broadcast on FM radio in New York WNAW. So, there is the inevitable station identification breaks which are not so bad that they truly interrupt the groove you get into on this one. I ahd to wait until 2006 to finally see Willie live in concert and cannot recommend enough the voice, talent, legend and all the good qualities that he has. A living legend indeed. Every time I listen to the 'Red Headed Stranger' album, my esteem only increases for his gifts. But, I digress. So, please sit back and enjoy the show. I am right now.

Talking Heads - Demos 1975


Any regular reader of the Ape will know that DaddyRich is the first to admit how unhip and late-to-the-party he is on some music. Many years I ignored Talking Heads for no good reason other than that after a few minutes of listening, it didn't grab me. With as much music as I have, if it don't grab me quickly - I got a stack of more waiting that just might. And said album goes into a pile for 'later listening' and with the advent of the sharing communities, my 'later' stack is usually a few hundred albums deep. Oh, the ebarrassment of riches over here. Love the music too much. So, many years after the fact of their splitting up and solo permutations, I begin to give their early work a listen. So, I am an old fool who arrives late - but at least I show up, no? Great early stuff with glimpses of greatness. And this girl has done more work on this demo collection than anyone I have seen - she has the same music disease I have...kudos for her hard work.

Bob Dylan - Acoustic Thunder


We all know how much DaddyRich loves the acoustic performance. The wife and I just picked up the instrument ourselves and are having a great time killing some notes and strangling others. As much as I enjoy hearing other great artists do their thing 'au naturel' (as it were) Bob Dylan doing so is just sublime. It's the way he was always meant to be head, in my humble estimation. And yes, I do love the Royal Albert Hal gigs but, to my mind, his greatest strength lies in being heard in that softly spoken voice that can sometimes rise to a roar. I so regret not giving his music a chance when I was much younger, since it has enriched my life so much since that first night I said to myself (in a smoke-filled room) "This damn Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 has been in the family record collection for so long, what is it about this guy? I hear the songs are supposed to have great content, but his voice is annoying... blah, blah, blah" And after only one serious listen it became so evident to me that ONLY Bob could sing these songs and do it that way. Immediately his voice and lyrical beauty smacked me into consciousness. Thereafter he became part of my Holy Bob Trinity (time-lines be damned!) of Bob Marley and Bob Mould. These performances are amazing and after you can listen past the sound quality available for 1975-1976 bootlegs, great thing are to be found for waiting ears.

David Bowie - Divine Symmetry (BBC Acoustic Sessions 1997)

This will be the first of a few re-ups on files that had many downloads that were killed all too soon. I am among the huge number of fans that feel any Bowie is good, but acoustic Bowie is better. Among the many acoustic-related discs I have here, this is ranked near the top for the breadth and depth from the man's sometiemes daunting catalogue. The sound is quite good and the man is in fine form here, so listen and enjoy and as ever - share.

As an added bonus, we have here another acoustic compilation containing various live and studio tracks of Bowie performing his greats. This one has a few repeats and a varying bit rate but is overall a worthy companion piece. At least until I sift through the many acoustic performances in my collection and make a definitive 'Acoustic Bowie at The Ape'. Cheers.

Devo - Live! (1980)



Been a while since any Devo was posted and this one is a good one. I haven't quite been able to figure out if this is part of the "Live! 1980" DVD concert yet. Once I get it, I will be able to tell you for sure, it sure does seem like half a show, but great nonetheless. Absolutley at the top of their form (not to take anything away from their recent gigs) they rip through some classics here that will have any child of the 1980's become lost in reminiscence. More to come as soon as I get off my butt to go and get them. Enjoy!

Death Row Records Rarities


Now, first and foremost I have to thank the heads over at Concainblunts for this one. As big a fan as I am of old-school rap music, this is a rare exception for something post-1989. Some very good times were had whilst listening to some of these tracks. Also, as much as Dr. Dre works on the nerves, he has a love for the Funkadelic sound that exonerates him of all my hating. It's all too easy to blame these fellows here (pictured below) for what became (has become) of todays popular rap music, namely that it sucks ass. But I believe the true fault (as usual) lies with the imitators and not the originators. Of course they spawned a industy full of studio gangsters and a respect for all things vile, but these cats did it with style. Of course, I will remove these in a flash if I hear that Suge Knight wants to come to my house and ask me to remove the tracks.

Oasis - Live At Virgin Mega-Store Acoustic 1994



Ah, before all the fame and accolades and drug/alcohol binges put them into rock's stratosphere. Most Americans still can't be bothered with Oasis, and that's fine with me. I will continue to play them often and am ecstatic to hear Noel is finally going to make a solo album (all of them should have been with him on lead vocals, in my humble opinion). A pretty damned good quality bootleg here, hope you enjoy.

Genesis - Lamb Stew


Been a while since I posted any Gabriel-Era Genesis, so I seek to right that wrong. This one isn't particularly hard to find, but I enjoy it quite a lot. There is certainly no shortage of boots from this era of the band, but almost all of them have some atrocious sound and they stay buried in the back of my collection. I recall that a few years back at an import record store that I saw this for over $75.00 and couldn't even get a preview listen (bastards). This illustrates why I love music-sharing so much - had I paid $75 for it then, the only people getting rich would be the store and their bootlegger source (and no one would hear it, except for me - none of my friends enjoy this era of the group). By posting it here, there is a chance that some soul will hear it and go buy the original albums and then the machine gets fed. Either way, a classic show and tour and I hope you all dig it.

The Police - The Reunion Show 1986

I had mentioned previously, I believe, that I am thrilled at the reunion of these gentlemen. I only wish I had the cash to throw down to see them, but alas, I have kids. This wonderful outing was from their first "reunion" at the Conspiracy Of Hope shows in 1986 for Amnesty International. It's too bad that every time they get together that the old problems begin to resurface, but I have my fingers crossed for an extended stay this time around. Great songs here and it plays like a live 'greatest hits' package. Enjoy, I will be throwing out some more Police concerts and rarities for you all soon. Let me know what you think.

Rolling Stones - Acetates


A gem of Rolling Stones rarities for the good kids who visit the Ape. It's been a while since I have posted Stones' goodies and I am hereby setting about rectifying that. A majority of this boot was recorded in studios from Jamaica to Germany (with a little London Live Song as well) and has wonderful sound. The sound quality is surprisig considering the other 200-300 Stones boots I have sound like they were recorded in a silo while the Stones songs were playing on an old transistor radio. So, I hope you all enjoy and keep your eyes and ears open for more.

John Lennon - Let's Have A Party (Early 1970's)



It's been a long while since I posted any Beatle-related rarities, so here I go again. Sound quality is not anywhere near top-notch, but we get these to have them and not so much to play them every day at top volume, right? Since Beatle John is my favorite (a close tie for him and George) I am always seeking the rare and obscure. And what a selection of songs here for us to revel in - Lennon Solo, Beatle songs and covers. Guaranteed to make your bootleg collection shine just a little bit brighter for having it.

Heed the back cover caveat "The songs were all recorded live at a house party in the early 1970s and amateur equipment was used."

The Beatles - Revolution (Bootleg)



One of my favorite Beatle collections of scraps and such. This is demos and incidental tracks from around 1965-1968, with some great quality sound, considering what I had been expecting. Early versions of 'We Can Work It Out', 'Julia' and an alternate 'Across The Universe', among other gems make it worth your while, for sure. Oh, so many more to come.... I just got the strangest feeling of deja vu wth this post. Did I already do this one? I checked my list and can't find it - maybe since I have been meaning to post this one for a while. Strange.
