Re: King Elessar's "Free As A Bird", "Real Love" and "Grow Old With Me" Mixes

I have just downloaded and played the files. By the way, there is no art that I can see included? Anyway, I was impressed with FAAB and RL, but not at all with GOWM. The problem is that the key/pitch of John's vocals do not match the backing track. It sounds way out of tune. I'm not sure what can be...

"Turn Left At Greenland" - Did Ringo Say It First? Video Proof Where?

I always thought that Ringo originally uttered the famous quip, at a press conference when they first arrived in the US. It turns out that John may have also said it, perhaps later back in the UK. So who was it? And where is the video proof of either/both saying it? Any help in resolving this is app...

Re: Beatleg discography

Here we go, in the last months I have added a few titles to the web site, this is the last effort: The most important series of bootleg LPs appeared between 1986 and 1988, was the 13-LP THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB. https://www.beatleg.online/beatles-at-the-beeb Ciao, Massimo A copy of this 13LP set was...

Re: LINK FOR HUNDREDS OF BEATLEGS (PINK ROBERT'S BETTER LINK)

Yes, he did post a lot of stuff. Often from lossy and/or damaged files which he bloated to FLAC because that is what his paying members wanted (FLAC, not lossy). Any who questioned the quality of his files were shot down in flames or banned. As I have stated elsewhere, all of the Beach Boys and Bee ...

Sorry, correct. Lossy, not lossless.

Re: LINK FOR HUNDREDS OF BOOTLEGS (PINK ROBERT'S BETTER LINK)

The quick (but not always accurate) way is to use the free program Trader's Little Helper. It can decode the FLAC files to .wav and then test them. The overall point is to not share lossy-sourced FLAC files. All of Pink Robert's files that I have tested come up lossless. Bee Gees, and Beach Boys Lif...

Re: LINK FOR HUNDREDS OF BOOTLEGS (PINK ROBERT'S BETTER LINK)

Yes, there is an awful lot of stuff there by many artists, in FLAC format. BUT just because it is FLAC does not mean it is lossless. A LOT of his stuff is just bloated re-encoded mp3 files. Bigger, but not better. So the advice is to sample something, test if it really is lossless, then keep it eith...

Re: RIP Denny Laine

Awful news. They only just had a concert to help him. Paul has issued a heartfelt tribute already.

Re: The Concert For Linda

When I saw this here, I remembered that I have a CDR version as well. I dug it up and noticed that not only is the artwork different, but so is the tracklisting. It appears that both bootleg versions edit the concert in different ways. I listened to both versions and tagged them as well, noting that...
