WARNING: these tracks (113 in all) are encoded as m4a (a lossless file),not mp3. They're bigger, which is why I had to split up the disks, and I don't know if m4as play on everything.
An astronomical amount of thank-yous to maniac James C. for sending this our way.

As for the playability of the M4A format, I know it doesn't play on Windows Media, or didn't anyway. I abandoned WM when they 'improved' it to unusability with Windows 7. VLC media player plays anything I throw at it, even OGG and APE which are formats I don't care for.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful collection! Here's a nice little bit of trivia for you: on "Flying Saucers Rock & Roll" by Bill Riley & His Little Green Men, the pianist is a pre-fame Jerry Lee Lewis.
ReplyDeleteAudile Sez: A big, smiling thanks to Mr.Fab for putting this up. As for file formats, may I suggest a freebie, easy, 'clean ',file converter? Try this one- http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/ - I've been using it, converting a variety of audio formats to Mp3,[or from Mp3 to another]and it's never failed. For EG: You can set it to convert to 320Kbps or less, etc.
ReplyDeletethank you,, very benefit
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Might try and get hold of a physical copy.... Thx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cool post.I found a physical copy for ten dollars. The hard cover book included is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tech tips, good to know.
ReplyDeleteCount Otto: didn't know that, but it makes sense, as they were both on Sun Records, weren't they?
nicktindrum: I was just gonna say 'good luck with that' as amazon is selling them for minimum 3 figures, but than DJ Useo comes along with his heartwarming tale, so maybe they can be had cheap somewhere. (Just not on Amazon obviously)
This is just too fantastic! Many great themes here. Thanks to Mr. Fab and of course Steve C. For converting MPEG4 or any other format, I use "Converter Lite." Nice freeware...can't recall where I got it...maybe a tucows.com.
ReplyDeleteJack
Thanks, Mr. Fab! Looking forward to hearing this!
ReplyDeleteThe mother-lode! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great collection! Thank you so much !
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff!
ReplyDeleteI grabbed a bunch, couldn't stop ... Thank you SO much!
There are copies on eBay UK for anything between £50 and £80, which given the utter labour of cosmic love involved in compiling and hunting down some of these tracks, coupled with the exquisite "brain in a box" hologram and more book than booklet that comes with it - I suggest it is possibly the bargain of the new millennium!
ReplyDeleteAll kudos to MFM for sharing this.
The howls of audio freaks aside, I go with Foobar2000 as my conversion engine of choice when it comes to M4A to MP3 - a right click and its almost done.
Funny just on an early Dick Hyman kick (hmm how his name is not fun/easy to search...hey I like porn but not when I'm looking for something else!) and then I found this...strangely via Harrell & Sharron Lucky, Playschool stuff and various 60s-70s kids funk gems (you didn't download that Strictly Kids Strictly Biz comp did you? Or have most of those? Only found some...)
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about the better known Hyman (Moog etc) is I heard it and went WOW WHY DON'T I KNOW THIS? Err, I did, and had listened to it loads about 2010.
Coming around again...again...and again. I do usually have to check if I've got stuff I'm looking for. Getting old!
Vintage kiddie funk deff sounds like a field worth investigating. Perhaps a future Radio Clash podcast, eh?
ReplyDeleteDont know Strictly Kids Strictly Biz; anything to do with the Diabolical B to tha I to tha Z Markie?
