What's with Hungercity again?

[vladsmythe]

The latest I've heard is that nobody seems to know what's going on with Hunger City. Apparently staff is in a funk ever since the Royal Wedding.

In the mean time, I need more Dylan.

this is a worse exit than STG

[vladsmythe]

I knew it was going downhill when dinotunes was cutting up old torrents of Supersonic and re-seeding them in single episodes. How many versions of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again, Naturally" does one really need?

[paddington]

just that one, is fine.

At least I got my t-shirt before it died.

Nope, they ran out of BOWIE recordings. They once started with Bowie recording but kept on re-re-recycling the same old stuff in brand new clothes. BORING.

That is a valid point, but you must admit - It was "Dylan Central".

if any of it was recorded on Beta, then every last possible variation

I think beta SP was not the standard at that point 3/4 inc tape would be my guess. But you make a very good point, prior to digital video Beta SP was the standard for highest quality broadcast tape. Good call (as usual).

You can Slag HungerCity all you like,
But I think Any torrent Site that disappears is one less place to find Music,
An` thats why we`re here on the InterWebb thingy
Isn`t it?

Yep, sad to see any torrent site go.

[vladsmythe]

Are they really gone? That would suck big time.

[paddington]

they are not there.

Agree with you on that - but only to compare recordings.

The old-fashioned way of trading (mail) makes more fun. Torrents are mainly re-re-recycling the same old recordings, different cover art and mostly inferior quality.

Most of the interesting Bowie stuff I have will never appear on torrents, mail trade only. Most of us - old-fashioned collectors/tapers - like it that way.
