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

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!

I'm baack!!

Clichéd Shining reference aside, I am indeed back after my long hiatus. Firstly I want to thank everyone that passed on their support and condolences for the incident my family and I suffered through. I really appreciate all your kind comments. 

Three people I particularly want to thank, and whose contributions I am posting today, are Dimitris, Sven and Sean who have helped me fill in some of the albums I was missing.

Dimitris has unearthed the holy grail of releases so to speak, the very first cd released in January 1998...

UNCUT EMI 1

Sean's contribution from August 2000 completes all the releases from that year...

UNCUT UG-20 26

and Sven's contribution from April 2001 completes all the releases from that year...

UNCUT UG-28 34

I'll also be adding new posts for each in their chronological order, so check under the respective years as well.

I hope to be posting albums from 2002 shortly, so keep an eye on the blog.

Thanks again for everyones support!

Just when I thought I was up...

No pic or links with this post I'm afraid. Had a bad day yesterday. Was just leaving the house with the family when four guys with guns jumped us and forced us back inside. They tied up the whole family and then ransacked the place. We've lost all our electronics, jewellery and a lot of cash. Where I live it's called a home invasion and it's been on the rise recently. It's actually the second time it's happened to me. It's certainly not much fun having a pistol held to the back of your head and being tied hand and foot. Luckily no one was hurt but the whole family is pretty shaken up. As a coincidence I've lost my laptop with all my data for the blog. Strangely they didn't take my main hard drive with all my music but it's going to be a few weeks at least before I can post anything new. I'm using a borrowed iPhone to write this. Anyway, please bear with me as I try to get back online.

Even more re-upped links...

Here are the new links for 2001. I'm still missing the April compilation so if anyone out there can help it would be much appreciated. I'm also a big fan of comments and feedback so please keep it coming. Links also appear in the original posts.
