Technical Note:
While every effort has been made to restore these original recordings, such is the random source of these 40-year-old press conferences, backstage encounters and on-the-spot news reports that, inevitably, there are bound to be variations in sound quality.

The bulk of these historical audio sound bites have been taken from the following full-length Thunder Bolt/TKO Magnum Music releases:

The Beatles - "East Coast Invasion" (Thunder Bolt CDTB 194).
The Beatles - "West Coast Invasion" (Thunder Bolt CDTB 195).
The Beatles - "From Britain With Beat" (Thunder Bolt CDTB 220).
The Beatles - "Here, There & Everywhere: Derek Taylor Interviews The Beatles" (Thunder Bolt CDTB 221).
John Lennon - "Testimony: The Life & Times Of John Lennon In His Own Words" (Thunder Bolt CDTB 095).
Additional sound bites from the Uncut archive.

So I'm back to the single album format again, which I'll update every week or so. All 2005 links are active in the comments of the respective album posts. I won't be doing anymore bulk link updates like my last few posts. I've totally caught up to where i was last July with the bonus of finding all the missing albums I was looking for (with the help of friends). So to this point I have years 1998 through 2004 completed! 

Thanks for everyones continued support, now let's move forward....

2004 Albums

So here are all the albums for 2004. There are some real highlights, including a great Nonsuch Records collection, another in the Americana series and an awesome Motown selection, not to forget some interesting themed collections.

Some of you may have noticed that for a time I restricted all downloads to FileFactory Premium account holders. I have to admit I did so because I was a little disappointed at the lack of feedback I was getting from downloaders. When you put a lot into something, it's nice to get at least some support or thanks from time to time. I know many in the downloading community are 'hit and run' types, but I'd like to think that there are some decent folk out there who actually appreciate what I'm doing.

Rant aside, I do also encourage you to check out the FileFactory Premium account as an option for storing and sharing files. They have an unlimited storage policy that enables my links to stay active even when not being actively downloaded. A lot of other sites don't offer this as I found out with my original posts.

Anyway, without further ado here is what you all came for...

UNCUT 2004 01 - The Best Of 2003

UNCUT 2004 02 - Sin City 14 L.A. Rock Classics

UNCUT 2004 03 - The Nonesuch Collection

UNCUT 2004 05 - Strange Brew

Links also appear in the original posts.

2003 Albums

Moving forward here are all the albums for 2003. I'm hoping to get one more post done before I go on holiday at the end of this month. I think you'll have more than enough to keep you occupied within this post for a while though. 2003 was a great year for Uncut compilations. There are some amazing artists and performances to be discovered throughout the course of the year. As always, I'll be adding the links to the original posts as well.

Enjoy!
