I've been searching for a little while now some of the last smiths items I need. At best I can find some of these things as 128 or 192 mp3s, but I'm kind of hoping for better quality. I've looked on the sites linked in this forum without much help.
So some questions.
Where's the best place / boot to track down the Italian early mix of How Soon Is Now? I could find some 192s, but they sound too watery and would love it in better quality since it's such an oddity.
The BBC b sides of Last Night I Dreamt... Is there a BBC bootleg that has these tracks in the same quality (or better)? I've done a needle drop of Rusholme Ruffians from my 7", but I figure with a CD single in existence, plus a bunch of BBC boots, there's gotta be a better way. is there a definitive BBC boot?
I have Same Night Again (remastered) for the Oxford show, but was That Joke Isnt Funny released as a CD single? Doesnt look like it, but just checking.
Was Shakespeares Sister from "Rarities Vol 2" ever actually sent out, and if so, is it better quality than the circulating boot? If its the same quality, that's one less thing to look for!
Same with Girl Afraid from Glasgow, on some NME cassette freebie. Is it the same quality as the circulating boot?
Finally, there's a bunch of "edit" versions out there, how different are they, other than an early fade?
For example, How Soon Is Now and Headmaster Ritual, the PhilBrown edits. Heven Knows I'm Miserable Now (longer version). Ask's single version (how is the single version even different)? Work Is A Four Letter Word edit? Stop Me (different tamborine mix)? Rubber Ring / Asleep - is it really mashed into one, or is there just no track stop?
