Hi, Just found your fantastic blog by chance. Some excellent stuff on here. Is there any chance of a reup on the Gary Numan 12″s – Such Music For Chameleons etc please? Thank you. Merry Christmas! Best wishes M
Will do ! “Music For\” and …..? 🙂
Hi, thanks for the kind reply; the other Numan 12″s that I was looking for were; White Boys And Heroes (12″), Warriors (12″), My Dying Machine (12″), She’s Got Claws (12″), We Take Mystery (To Bed) (12″) – I am really grateful for all your kind efforts. Thank you. Best wishes M
Hi, found your blog on a random google search for an album I can never find (Systems of Romance – Dare the Dance) – been looking for more of this forever (20+ years) it has a fave song (Shadows) among others from an old skateboarding video I used to have. Was so excited to find your page about it, but even the 2017 link says expired, any chance for a re-up? Also, is it in 320k or FLAC? Being so rare, I’m hoping for a decent copy. Thanks! (Wish I could find a handful of other songs/bands from that video which seem to be from almost non-existant bands!)
I’ll sort this out for you. The blog is quite a beast to maintain. I think it’s 320 MP3 like a majority of the stuff.
Done and re-upped! 🙂
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays and New Year!
Hey, first, holy shit! what an archive! This is incredible! Seriously! I have a lot of vinyl myself.
I was wondering if you can remember an 80’s female musician. For the life of me I cannot remember her name. I want to say Joan, or Kim … but a google search is not bringing up anything. She had a keyboard and I would classify her in the same group with Thomas Dolby or Peter Gabriel (80’s version) Her sound was different. I don’t know if she had any major ranking hits.
Also, she had one album that was a lot like Grace Jones, Slave to the Rhythm. It was like a story … or something. … I believe she had blond or light colored hair.
Anyway, if this rings a bell, I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions, should you have any.
Found her – Laurie Anderson ….. sigh ….. that was killing me lol
I thought you were thinking of the great Anne Clarke for a minute 😀
Dear djjedredy, any chance of The Fall’s singles appearing in this most excellent blog?
Never really got into them, sad lost to music tho’ !
Hi,very nice Blog,thx for your all uploads!
Have you maybe Gran Records – GR-2319,GR-2321,GR-2322,2323 releases?
Wow! You have some great stuff! Good to see things that weren’t “Top Ten.” Could you re-up “Red Flag – Broken Heart”? Many thanks!
I never did Top Ten Ned! 🙂
I could tell you were “deep!”
And one more, also expired, and then I’ll leave you alone for a while! – Warren Zevon – Leave My Monkey Alone (US 12″)
I know you’re “deep” into other things, but when you get a chance, could you please add “Duran Duran – All She Wants Is (US Promo 12″)” to my re-up request list? Thanks!
Whoa! Just went through “01 Broken Heart (Extended Remix)” in Adobe Audition and can see (and hear) the rip has zero noise. How do you do that? Especially impressed by the fade.
Hi, i like your Uploads.
Can you re-up this releases? Would be great. Thanks.

Of course Chris but next time please put your request on the actual post not here, I can keep track of them better 🙂
I really love your site, this is the 1st time that I’ve made a request. I have been searching for 2 albums from a Pittsburgh band called The Silencers. The albums are Rock N Roll Enforcers (1980) & Romantic (1981). Any chance you might have these?
Sorry don’t have these but will put it on my “Must Find List!” 😉
Hi,
I’ve been following your wonderful blog for a while now, and it’s full of the stuff I love from my main record buying era . Keep up the good work!
Any chance of a re-uppage of Black’s – Black CD/Vinyl (8 track mini album).? I have both 12″s that make up the comp, but, sadly, they’re both well worn now.
Cheers, Martin.
No probs mate , will do tomorrow 😀
Hello my friends, i´ve been searching for years the song: Jane (Perfectly Extended) by the band Perfect day
Can you reup the Julie Brown Trapped In The Body Of A White Girl 12″ with the remixes, please??
Thank you for the music, I really love it……do you possibly have Warp 9 – Skips a beat – from the 80’s?
I’ll look into it, shopping list time 🙂
Thanks for the response.
If possible please check your collection for “Crystal B – Huggin’ , and acid house track from the late 80’s…please, I’ve been looking for this track forever. I really don’t mind purchasing a digital copy of this track from you or making a donation.

Hi djjedredj i can’t why every file i download when i try to use winzip it says:”cannot open file…it does not appear to be a valid archive…please can you help me? Thanks in advance Giulio
A few people have had a bit of difficulty with this. Try getting the latest version of WinZip, it might solve it. Sorry for the frustration this causes.
Bom dia DJ, escrevo do Brasil e gostei muito do seu blogue, há muitas e muitas coisas boas e a melhor lição que a internet pode nos dar é poder compartilhar conhecimento e coisas, meu ritmo preferido é o freestyle, então irei procurar aqui para ver o que não tenho, e se você quiser algum single em especifico, estarei à sua disposição para compartilharmos nossos acervos amigo.
Grande abraço,
Junior
Obrigado mais freestyle no caminho!
Hi djjedredj…..I have some requests. Do you have any of these then pls pls post the links….1. Natural Selection – Hearts Don’t Think (They Feel) single 2.Vanessa Williams – Just For Tonight single containing (Video version)

Hello djjedredj, big fan of the blog. Was wondering if you could please repost the Tictoc 20 Questions maxi single. Also wondering if you may have another other Robin Scott or M singles that you may be able to post. Thank you for all the hard work with the blog. And for sharing all this great music with us all. All the best.
I’ll put on my to-do list for Thursday 🙂
any chance you can post the steve taylor link, there is none
Fixed !
I think you missed this link too.

Thank You for posts

Ray
I’m nearly 50 Ray, it does take a while to process stuff 🙂
sorry to say something again: this one says new link but is not there: Ledernacken – Let Yourself Go (12″)
Fixed now, glad you’re on the ball J 🙂
Oh WOW…Boys Don’t Cry, I forgot about them. Is there any chance you can post their singles “Who The Am Damn Do You Think I Am” & of course “I Wanna Be A Cowboy”. BTW, I found those Silencers albums I asked about a while ago. Is there any way I can get them to you?
I’ve not got much if any by them, Mike maybe has more. With the Silencers stuff just message with the link to you’re chosen uploader. I’ll do the rest 🙂
Got you’re link and will get curating them for next week, thanks again 🙂
Hey there! Love the site, some class downloads I thought had been lost in the sands of time! Hoping for a few Human League re-ups if you can… Love Action & The Sound Of The Crowd (2003 Remixes); the Love is All that Matters 12″; and the 12″ of Louise – that remix of The Sign is a must have!
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Ian, if you put your league requests on the actual pages of there respective posts that would be great. It’s a big old beast this blog and with over 3000 posts it eases the housekeeping 🙂
Will do! 🙂
Hi djjedredy, I just came across your blog – WOW! What a collection you have – absolutely stunning. When you get a free moment, would you mind re-uploading the 10,000 Maniacs “More Than This” post? https://myvinyldreams.wordpress.com/2016/02/17/10000-maniacs-more-than-this-12/
Much appreciated! Looking forward to being a regular follower!
Good day dear friend – would you be interested in some rips I’ve just done of Do Ré Mi’s classic Guns & Butter 12″? I ripped my vinyl when I realised it’s not available anywhere online. Anywhere. (I don’t include YouTube in my list).
Yes, I’ll curate it and heap praise on you!
What’s your preferred method? I’ll zip it and send you a link?
Yah, Yah, Yah
Good evening!
First of all, thanks for this blog and for the great tracks and mixes you update on a daily basis – this is a great job you deliver on a daily basis!
I have been experimenting some issues when trying to unzip the files, those last months. I have been using Zipeg for years, been able to open files you have updated so far – but for the last few months, I cannot unzip / extract them anymore. The feedback I receive is “the file is corrupted or file format is unsupported”, which surprises me, as I am using the same tool to unzip files, without issues. May you please help – or advice another extracter to use?
Thanks in advance – and hi from Whalley Range! 😉
Latest version of WinRar should sort it!
Thanks for your advice – in the meantime, I have found that useful site that does the trick very well too! : https://unzip-online.com/en/Zip
Thanks again – I am looking forwards to the future posts you are preparing!
please upload again, fallen link, greetings from venezuela, send me the new link to my email, ppeoh@live.com

Amazing Blog Mate, Appreciate you sharing all these greats from the past feel like a teenager again. I used to DJ and had a lot of 12 inches however lost them in storage at my parents. Gasoline and vinyl do not mix. Dad spilled some near where I had my Records stored and melted about half of them. Lost and thought most would never hear again. Thanks to Mates like you and new technology. I have gotten to hear a lot of my old friends. Much Much Appreciated. Hope Your doing awesome as you made may day………Spliky (Derek Stewart)
Hi there, Hope you are well and ready for Christmas. I maybe pushing my luck on this one. I can’t anywhere to buy the damn thing and I missed out on the Liverpool gig, which was a huge disappointment. Can you help at all?

Even Santa can’t drum this one up for me. Cheers Mark
