I wrote the following to Jonder and Stinky:
This is an interesting article but unfortunately focussing mainly on songs from the 90's
https://www.bbc.com/news/
I think there are loads of songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s still only available on vinyl (or CD in some cases!)...
Good example is an old sampler from 1979 I'm trying to put together digitally: Propaganda No Wave II
I bought the lp in that year, mainly for the great cover design, the Police & Joe Jackson live tracks and Squeeze's Wrong Way (later covered by Rockpile!), but the other tracks weren't bad either, some previously unissued as well!
A little later I found a slightly different version, just Propaganda, but with some other interesting tracks…
I requested my partners in crime’s help in finding these 2 for a new JOKONKY project.
The first Propaganda I found easily enough in a dark corner of the Internet, but the second one kept eluding me.
I searched 'everywhere' for "Propaganda No Wave II" & "Propaganda" lp 1979 but to no avail...
Jonder tried very hard too, he found some tracks separately, but not all, among others Bobby Henry’s "Hollow Sound" and Squeeze's Wrong Way…
That last one can be found on YouTube but ripped from a flexi-disc, very poor quality, utterly useless…
However I tried searching for "Bobby Henry" "Hollow Sound" which somehow led me to an old (defunct?) French blogpost which had posted the whole album… The logic escapes me!
As a result we proudly present the Deluxe Edition of Propaganda with all 17 tracks, enjoy!
As the blog community is still in shock after Stinky's last post in which faithful visitors were given a tough choice (download this compilation or we will shoot this dog) I decided to give you a break and come up with something easier...
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Is there any song/album that you’ve been looking for a long time and you finally found it? Or still are looking for?!
As the above questions are so ridiculously easy we at JOKONKY expect at least a minimum of 100 comments!
DeleteAfter comment 101 we will post the download link of this Blatant Attempt To Influence Your Musical Taste...
My search for the original version of the song "Daddy-O" is detailed in one of my NRBQ Jukebox posts on this blog. That one took some internet sleuthing!
DeleteShall I put in each album as a seperate comment? Let's start with David Bowie & The Innovations – I Saw You Last Night / Again And Again
ReplyDeleteMike West - Home 2000
ReplyDeleteBlues Minus You Ten Shades Of Blues this is not a Bowie album, by the way. I shall wait a bit. If you need a hundred, I am up for the challenge. Did my exercise, my exorsice, and ate me porridge.
ReplyDeleteHank C Burnette "Spinning Rock Boogie" - had a really cruddy low-res mono dub from a scratchy single for years, finally found a pristeen copy. Didn't realize the track was in mono in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI remember that Swedish guy, even had a Charly lp and single by him!
DeleteMore Hank here with new links! https://surfadelic2.wordpress.com/2023/11/20/hank-c-burnette-a-touch-of-memphis-2001/
DeleteIn keeping with Koen's theme of compilation albums (and to contribute toward the #Post100comments goal): I am still looking for this tribute album to the seminal Rough Trade compilation "Wanna Buy A Bridge?": https://www.discogs.com/release/8289034-Various-Rebuilding-The-Bridge
ReplyDelete...as well as this German tribute to "Wanna Buy A Bridge": https://www.discogs.com/release/2816584-Various-Br%C3%BCcke-Kaufen
Delete... and this compilation CD which includes my beloved Kelly Hogan (as part of the duo Kick Me with her former Jody Grind bandmate Bill Taft):

PS to Koen - excellent work on your latest Deluxe Edition for Jokonky! #Post100comments
DeleteOK, I got it!
DeleteI like, I like, I like by The Roy Hill Band from '78. I used to have the single but life stole it. I saw the band in Manchester and they were fabulous. They had the songs too. Never understood why they didn't get ginormous.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUv2d1v0kQo Sounds cool!
DeleteOh, thanks for this! A big hand for Bimbo Acock on sax...
DeleteAnd now I can add "I Like I Like I Like" to my three word song title collection -- thank you, pontyboy!
Deletestill looking for https://www.discogs.com/release/183699-The-Musical-Janeens-Sell-Out
ReplyDeleteI thought I found it for you on Bandcamp, but it was only "Musical Janeens - The Psalter Lane Tapes 1980", not the live album on Plurex Records.
DeleteCould it be that that is why Sell Out is no Sell Out, but Sold Out, and still waned
Deletehttps://www.discogs.com/release/6587279-Various-Black-Experience Also one I cannot find
ReplyDeleteThis list is endless. there is a poster over at TZ blog Guitarradeplastico, scraping oddities who keeps requesting hard to impossible to find stuff.

13 Great Bands From The Lowlands; https://we.tl/t-NhzfH98nR6
DeleteThank you, anonymous sharer!
DeleteThank You, it's got Eton Crop on it, and Five Works who are Eton Crop in disguise. plus the original Free Beer and the Vonerss, from Belgium.
DeleteThis and the First Noet Lachten is among the ugliest (but decent, no blood, gore etc, or sex or worse) covers of all I know.
I have an embarrassing Question: Where do I find a link for this? THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteKoen claims (in his comment on October 6, 2024 at 9:24 PM) that he will share the link after 100 comments are posted. And we're only a quarter of the way there...
DeleteThanks for the information! I should have read more carefully.
DeleteOddly enough, it's this very Propaganda sampler that I've been trying to find.
ReplyDeleteYou're in the right place, but it's not yet the right time. Koen is holding out for more comments before he shares the download link. Will he really make us wait until 100? I'm doing my part to increase the comment count...
DeleteI gave up looking for the Soundtrack version of "Jacques Brel is Alive and Living in Paris" on cd. https://www.discogs.com/master/501937
ReplyDeleteEventually found a version that someone had posted.
I would think that about 80 to 90 % of the 1970s era volumes of my All Pearls No Swine series have never appeared on CD, much less digital. (Though some probably made the jump from vinyl to digital, bypassing the CD era entirely...). On two of the 80s volumes I have some great tracks from Jonathan Kupersmith, but I was and still am unable to find the album he recorded in 1985
ReplyDeletehttps://www.discogs.com/fr/release/15054861-Kupersmith-Two-Cute
what is All Pearls No Swine? I can't find any info on that series?
Delete"All Pearls No Swine" is a series of compilations created by One Buck Guy and hosted at his blog: https://onebuckrecords.blogspot.com/
DeleteThere's lots of other great stuff over at the One Buck Bar! Tell him jonder sent ya.
thanks Jonder....will gas up the car and drive on over there
DeleteChris Stamey (dBs) - It's a Wonderful Life - Having just discovered the dBs I really wanted to hear this. And on my first visit ever to The Record & Tape Exchange in Notting Hill Gate, I found a copy. But I didn't understand the price label. Now these shops have/had a system of regularly reducing prices on unsold stock. So there would be one or two labels with prices in ink crossed out, and the uncrossed out price was what you had to pay. 30p is what it cost me! But in the long term it cost me loads more than that cos from then on most lunch hours were spent going through the vinyl racks and buying up loads of "bargains" most of which still reside in my garden shed, some 40 years later!
ReplyDeleteI got to see Chris Stamey perform with the dB's just last month, as the original lineup is (or was) on tour to promote the remastered reissues of the first two dB's LP's. Your story reminds me of the time when I walked up to the register at my local record store with a copy of Stamey's second solo album. I asked the guy behind the counter, "Is this any good?" Without missing a beat he answered, "It's alright."
DeleteAnother time (same store, same clerk) I brought the compilation "Damned But Not Forgotten" to the counter, and he said "I can't believe you're buying that damned album."
Things I was really chuffed to bits about when I found it . The Naffis, when I was young that did not come cheap, it came free as a bogof. So one for 50 cents plus one for free. Years later I saw Robert Armani - Armani Trax on the ceiling in a record store, together with a Virgo and a Phuture, and bought them cheap, when I played them my musical world chamged dramatically. That doesn't really count, for I was not aware of that music. A few years ago a record dealer had lots of expensive stock of Afro Beat, some albums were very cheap, that is Not 50 bucks. In that pile of Tenners there were Massaka albums with Amara Touré. You know that was my luckiest find. trying to find them, later, even as a download were impossible .
ReplyDeleteDespite the fact we're nowhere near our target number of comments, I'm much more happy that we got some results with the missing albums!
ReplyDeleteA link to '13 Great Bands From The Lowlands' was posted earlier & I just uploaded 'Wanna Buy A Bridge?' (which includes a podcast discussion about this album!):
https://we.tl/t-e2DYOesob5
Therefore here is the Propaganda album:

big thanks...is there a link somewhere for Propaganda (No Wave II) ?
DeleteKoen has combined the tracks from Propaganda and Propaganda II in his Deluxe Edition, for your listening pleasure and convenience!
Deletehow perfect is that? very!
Deletethanks to both of you
Thank you Mr. Koen for posting this pre-100 comments. Here's a couple I've been searching for (both I think would be at home in one of these Propaganda comps with their new wavey sounds):
ReplyDeleteDavid Bean -- Modo Music https://www.discogs.com/master/349727-David-Bean-Modo-Music
Robert English -- Experiments in Relativity -- https://www.discogs.com/release/4162923-Robert-English-Experiments-In-Relativity
I can find the (pricey) vinyl, but I can't play viny...
Finch
Hi, Finch! I found "Modo Music", but "Experiments In Relativity" may prove to be more elusive...
DeleteMODO MUSIC by DAVID BEAN: https://krakenfiles.com/view/aCDkbcZYD4/file.html
Anything by "The Inflatable Boy Clams", San Fran' combo? Muddy Mike
DeleteThanks for the David Bean! I love the Judy's!!!
DeleteRight here, Muddy Mike! Just checked the link -- still works.
Deletehttps://jonderblog.blogspot.com/2018/03/subterranean-singles-second-serving.html
Thank you very much jonder - you guys are best ! When that four track 45 rpm record arrived at WIUV (90.1 FM) at Castleton State College in the early 80s, my mind was blown; I'm still lookin' for all the lost parts... Muddy Mike
DeleteYou're all welcome! Now that I think about it, "Snoteleks" by the Inflatable Boy Clams would qualify as a "Rubbish B-Side" because it was just "Skeletons" in reverse.
DeleteYes indeed and I wouldn't be surprised if more candidates will show up over time!
DeleteJonder -- You're amazing! Thank you for finding Modo Music! That's one off my bucket list!

The comments are slowing.. C'mon! We can do this!!
ReplyDeleteChemical Imbalance ep's there are about 9 and hard to find
ReplyDeleteAnd what about these German early 90s compilations:
Hat Das Schaf Die Blume Gefressen Oder Nicht?
Pfadfindertreffen auf Immenhof
Instant of Pleasure
Mit Sonnenschirmen Fingen Wir Den Blütenzauber
I have but one of the records that came with the Chemical Imbalance zine (Happiness Is Dry Pants). Mike McGonigal of Chemical Imbalance and Yeti magazine fame now edits a glossy music zine called Maggot Brain (which is published by Jack White's Third Man Records.)
DeleteI have two, Happiness and one called I am the Fly
DeleteStill searching for the first Tupelo Chain Sex album, What Is It
ReplyDeleteAnd quite a few jazz albums like
ReplyDeleteTyree Glenn, Seldon Powell, George Duvivier, Roy Haynes, Mal Waldron – They Laughed When I Sat Down To Play...
And this one
ReplyDeleteChris Cochrane – What Stops Us
Add me in....:o)
ReplyDeleteI am going through my albums and found another one, and there are a series of these. So, I have Lebanon A Holiday Souvenir from 1975 with some beautiful pop music from pre-war Lebanon.I ripped the album, it should be somewhere posted here or there. There are two companion albums, one about Cyprus and one about Egypt. Never been able to localise any of the two. This one from Egypt looks promising

https://www.discogs.com/master/2263414-Various-Cyprus-A-Holiday-Souvenir
Many. I I have been looking for a good download for an album my dad had. Nat King Cole Sings is side one. Phil Flowers is the second side. It could have been some kind of promotional album I ahave not been able to find it online, and maybe never will.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.discogs.com/master/425945-Nat-King-Cole-Phil-Flowers-Sings
DeleteThis album?
Well, lookie there. Exactly. Thanks.
DeleteI do not have the album, I can reconstruct to the best of my knowledge, not pretending to know the exact recordings. Only based on educated guesses
DeleteThen it could be something like this, With a lot of perhaps and maybe....... Nat king Cole/Phil Flowers - Sings .

I made the track-listing fitting the album. I did not change the properties about the albums I took them from.
Very kind of you, Richard!
DeleteFor whatever reason I just remembered this old lp I used to have but nowadays seems pretty hard to find on the Net, so far I got zilch...
ReplyDeletehttps://www.discogs.com/release/1322676-Various-The-Honky-Tonk-Demos
Bingo! It got just posted here: https://downunderground.blogspot.com/
DeleteHere is something, I have the cd. no player , so can anybody find me this sampler https://www.discogs.com/release/1404846-Various-Definite-Fine
ReplyDeleteDefinite Fine. about 1991 sampler (bootleg cd) with groovy jazz tunes. And yes, these are not just requests. also trying to reach a 100 comments, please keep up!
I like old samplers, such as this one: Greetings From Area 51. Anyone has it?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.discogs.com/release/2036104-Various-Greetings-From-Area-51
Now, here is a confession. I have the vinyl, and I can rip Propaganda II so Squeeze and Bobby henry etc as they are, if you want.....
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, however we got them already, last sentence: As a result we proudly present the Deluxe Edition of Propaganda with all 17 tracks
DeleteA week on you are still not at a round hundred. Here is another go at things to find: 101 records released https://www.discogs.com/release/882365-Various-Bandits-At-Ten-OClock Life in the European theatre https://www.discogs.com/release/1491420-Various-Life-In-The-European-Theatre
ReplyDeleteBand'its At Ten O'Clock definitely looks intriguing!
Deletesend a link to jonder for 101 band'its
DeleteI had this - I always bought comps like this because they tended to be priced cheaply, and it was about the only way a boy in central Nebraska could hear what these bands sounded like, since they certainly weren't going to be on the radio, and we didn't have Mtv until a while later.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Jim! I spent my teens in Wisconsin, and bought a lot of compilation LP's for the same reason. I knew one kid whose parents had cable (this was 1982), and I didn't have any older siblings or cousins to borrow records from. You got more bang for your buck with a comp LP!
