The Cure, Wake Me In the Dark, 2023 on Mind Control

Another live vinyl bootleg from The Cure (said to be an FM radio broadcast), this one from November 1st, 1987 at Forest National in Brussels Belgium. Many tracks from the then-new Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me album. This has also been bootlegged as Belgian Kisses on Casino Records. You can find audio from the same show in the Internet Archive: The Cure Live - 1987-11-01 Vorst Nationaal, Brussels, Belgium with more tracks and tickets/images at the Cure Concerts Guide. Once again no info on where […]

Various Artists, The Vinyl Series Volume One, 2021 on Island

Great collection of Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady singles from the early days of Island Records, said to be hand-picked by label founder Chris Blackwell. There's already been a Volume Two and Volume Three (going into the 70s) - not sure if there will be more or not. Somewhat idiosyncratically includes The Spencer Davis Group alongside Toots & The Maytals, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, and The Soul Sisters - but it makes sense in the context of the original releases which also stood side by side at […]

The Cure, Hang On a Second, 2023 on Mind Control

Another bootleg claiming to be from an FM broadcast, this one features The Cure at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle Washington, from October 21, 1984. (It's actually from October 23rd, 1984 as the night of the 21st was cancelled). As is common with these, it has been widely released and said to be an FM broadcast, but I can't determine where it actually was broadcast, if ever. Great versions of "Charlotte Sometime," "10:15 Saturday Night," and "Let's Go To Bed." My copy—via The Record […]

The Cure, I Hear No Sound: Live at De Melkweg, Amsterdam Dec 12, 1979, 2024 on Dear Boss.

Live bootleg from late 1979, right before recording Seventeen Seconds. De Melkweg - you can find some of the same show on the Internet Archive: The Cure Live - 1979-12-12 Melkweg, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Melkweg is a music venue in Amsterdam on the site of a former dairy (Melkweg means "Milky Way" in Dutch). Not sure (like many Dear Boss recordings) if this ever actually was an FM broadcast or just claims to be to avoid copyright issues. My copy—via The Record Exchange in Salem […]

The Cars, Panorama, 1980 on Elektra

This was the third studio LP from Boston band The Cars, situated between Candy-O and Shake It Up. Includes "Touch and Go." An underappreciated album in The Cars' discography: seen by critics as a let down and not as commercial successful as the one before or after. I like it though - more experimental, more ambitious - trying on different sounds. Sort of an alternate universe in which they went more alternative. Not the first Cars LP you should buy, but worth being in your collection if […]

Leo Kottke, 6-and 12-String Guitar, 1969 on Takoma

Kottke's second album, following 12-String Blues, and what would become reportedly the best-selling LP on John Fahey's Takoma Records. Writing his own liner notes, Kottke writes "All that is left to be said is that Kottke's voice does not appear on this album. His guitar does." My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—has the gold and tan "two dragons" Takoma labels, and is likely a repress circa 1972.
