The Adverts (more HERE), as befits as band who's critical stature has grown so much over the years, have been heavily bootlegged. If you readers out there can continue to fill up the COMMENTS section, I will continue to fill up your hard drive with unavailable Adverts stuff. My goal in so doing is, of course to try to convince you to buy the available albums ( I personalty own Crossing The Red Sea, The Wonders Don't Care and Anthology and I'm going to buy Cast of Thousands again soon) and to check out the amazing solo works of Mr. TV Smith.
Tracklist
A1 One Chord Wonders
A2 Newboys
A3 Quick Step
A4 We Who Wait
A5 Bored Teenagers
A6 Great British Mistake
A7 Bombsite Boy
B1 I Surrender
B2 Love Songs
B3 Fate Of Criminals
B4 Male Assault
B5 The Adverts
B6 My Place
B7 Television's Over
Back sleeve states:
"Side 1 - first five tracks are the 'Basement Tape' - a very rare tape from '77 recorded in their rehearsal room when The Adverts were still developing their unique sound, this tape was shopped around to many labels in '77 to get them a record deal while tracks 6 and 7 are rough mixes from the 'Crossing The Read Sea'.
Side 2 is made up entirely from 'Cast Of Thousands' out takes which sounded more raw and punk than when the LP came out"
Hey Advert-tarians, give us a word or two on these rarities in the COMMENTS section!
Thanks Advert-arians for all your COMMENTS thus far. Surely this beautiful-packaged rarity is worth a word or two as well... https://rapidshare.com/files/2258495943/Adv%20Rhs%20Otk%2077-8.rar
P.S. This upload is in MP4, if that format is annoying just use something like Switch Sound Audio Convertor to turn it into MP3's.
very interesting. Especially like the cast of thousands out takes.I don't think there exists a bad version of "Televisions Over". The mixes though seem a bit bass heavy; adequate as she was, I don't think Gaye is lead bass material somehow.
Wonder if there are any opinions regarding T.V. Smith's Explorers' "Last Words of the Great Explorer." Sounds a bit dated now, but still some good things on it. I see a new re-ish has just come out.
excellent, more adverts, i want to know where i can get a reproduction of the damned / adverts 77 poster, "damned can play 3 chords, adverts can play 1, hear all 4" any idea Phinky
Looking forward to listening to this. Love the Adverts and TVs solo stuff: some of the intervening stuff is a little overproduced/ 80s to my ears but..
MRML is a blog about the devestating effects of culture: music, politics, comics plus etc. blah blah blah. At times MRML will post fine, unpurchasable three-chord obscurica (punk, pop-punk, new wave, mod, power-pop, gospel, reggae, hardcore, rockabilly, folk, country...whatever.) - - - - - - "The otherwise unavailable files in this blog are posted for a limited time and are intended for educational, non-commercial use.

MRML does not plan to restore all of the content lost in The Great Mediafire Gutting of 2012. Polite requests may be made in the appropriate section, regular commenters will get priority.
