10cc - “The Soundboard Archive" (1972-2007)

 

10cc - “The Soundboard Archive"
(36 songs: none officially released)
@flac

For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.

This has been my methodology:

1. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist. (DIME doesn't allow compilations like this.)

(As of this writing, I've made compilations for 10cc, Alison Krauss-Union Station, Blind Melon, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Eddie Money, The Fall, Gillian Welch-David Rawlings, Marvin Gaye & Rush.)

2. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version.

3. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue.

4. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released.

Enjoy! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items (as of this writing; asterisks denote BGE/Wolfgang’s Vault) -
