Hello everyone,
I posted here a few months ago trying to locate some rare Raymonde material, namely the "Nothing Stops Here" demo tape from 1985. I am also looking for early Raymonde live material. I was replied to in my original post, with a link to Mr. Maker's facebook. Well as of now, I have exhausted every possible source, including contacting Mr. Maker like a stalker and asking hime to kindly share any unreleased gems. We are still friends on facebook and I was able to snag a few rare Solo/Noko 440 tracks from the man himself. However, he does not have the Raymonde demo or any live material. In fact, he actually told me that I have more of his back catalog than he does, which you will see very soon. So that being said, I figured I would try here one more time before giving up forever and accepting that some stuff is meant to be lost to history. I will now compile a list of what I am looking for, followed by a list of what I have. I will gladly share everything I have for those who are interested, as it is almost a crime that this stuff wasn't heard by many people. It's great music that stands on it's own outside the tired "5th Smith" reference. I found all the info on this early demo/live material via a audio/video trading website called 'Soundsville". Has anyone traded there? He has quite a collection. I contacted the guy who runs the site but he no longer trades in audio and doesn't have access to his audio tapes. Plus he easliy has everything I have so I doubt he would have traded with me anyway. Shame, as he is probably the only living soul that has any of this stuff. Here is what I am looking for:
Raymonde - "Nothing Stops Here" demo tape 1985
1.I'll Light A Candle
2.What Do You Wonder?
3.I Predict
4.Do You Think The Magic Is Over?
5.Son Of The Soil
Live Material:
Raymonde @ Bay 63 13/03/86
1.Speeding Heart
2.Shoot Them Down In Flames
3.Raymonde
4.Jennifer Wants
5.Fresh Ink To The Pen
6.Milk Train
7.Son Of The Soil
Raymonde @ Boston Arms 08/12/85
1.Something To Live & Breathe By
2.Every Good boy Deserves A Favour
3.Geraldine (Every Single Night)
4.Arms Of The Angels (Universal)
5.I'll Light A Candle
6.Gospel Song
7.Son Of The Soil
Also any live material from Raymonde during their run as support for The Smiths on the tour for TQID, or even more rare, any live material from Maker/Noko 440's set at MOVE 2004, though I doubt anyone recorded their set as I'm sure most didn't know or even cared who he was. Anyway as to not waste anymore time...
Here is a list of what I have.
Raymonde - Janis Long Session 85 or 86 (One mp3 with all three tracks from the session)
1.Raymonde
2.I Predict (excellent song even if James himself doesn't think so)
3.Milk Train
Raymonde - Jennifer Wants - Record Mirror Comp 85
Raymonde - Raymonde Single 1986 (Vinyl Rip from my personal copy)
1.Raymonde
2.These Boots Are Made for Walking
3.Gospel Song
Raymonde - Babelogue (I own hard copies of the LP and CD. My rip is in my Itunes from the CD)
Raymonde - Singles (Stop Kicking, Solid State Soul, Destination Breakdown)
These have been floating around the internet for quite some time now. Many of you most likely already have them.
Raymonde - Rarities
1.Shoot Them Down In Flames (Source info for this track is unknown, I got it from a fellow fan who wasn't sure of where he got it, maybe from Maker himself who knows. It is the most rare track I have next to the Janis Long session. It sounds like it's from a demo or rehearsal tape as you can hear the crinkles.
2. Every Single Night (Alt Mix)
3.Fool Of Fortune (Alt Mix)
These are alternate mixes of these songs. Slightly different than the versions heard on Babelogue.
RPLA - Metal Queen Hijack (Itunes rip from my CD)
RPLA - B-sides/Unreleased tracks some from an earlier RPLA post on Morrissey Solo and a few from James himself.
1.Leather Sequinned Hot Pant
2.Bad Thing Coming
3.Sunset & Vine
4.Made Of Stars
5.I'm Not Your Territory
6.Monstersexuality
7.Broken Down & Stranded
8.Dyke On A Bum Trip (RPLA version of the Raymonde b-side)
9.Girl From Baton Rouge (B-Side to Unnatural Woman)
James Maker/Peter Kinski - Milwaukee Sessions 2001
1.Maitresse
2.The Girl From Berlin
3.Trash
4.Never Known To Be Loved
5.The Boyfriend Syndrome
6.Jefferey's Shrine
7.Moon Over Michigan
8.Arrivederci Rock N Roll
9.La Ley Es Que Nadie Me Dje (Spanish version of The Nobody Leaves Me Rule non-acoustic)
10.September (Acoustic song)
11.The Nobody Leaves Me Rule (Acoustic english version)
12.New York Is In Luv
Frankenstein aka Maker & Noko 440
Born That Way Official Single
1.Born That Way
2.I'm Unbarable
Frankenstein Album sessions (masters from James himself)
1.12 O' Clock Girl
2.White n*****
3.Girls Are Out To Get Me
4.The Outside Does Not Reflect The Inside
5.The Quest Exhausts The Desire
6.Born That Way (Tim Bazell Mono Mix)
Well that rounds out my collection. Shame this stuff never got released properly. I'm sure there is more than a few that would like to hear this stuff so I will upload it as soon as I can. I don't think there will be any fuss as it is all either unreleased or out of print. So fellow Raymonde,James Maker fans please let me know if you have anything(I do mean anything) that I don't have. Hopefully someone has some demo or live stuff, though I'm sure it's unlikely as even their official releases are almost non existent. In Maker's words the quest has almost exhausted the desire. Many thank you's in advance.
