Vibes News (Final decisions on my future posts & comments settings)

* OK firstly I want to go over a couple of things before getting down to how my posts are going to be and the settings and rules for comments * 

* There will not be any re-up of posts here on Vibes, except for the Home Made Compilations, so please don't waste your time asking. *

* All members here work hard to bring you the best files they can, so please take the time to add a few words of thanks on the posts. It means a lot more than you think. We will all reply to your comments, which is only fair. *

Comments

* The comments system will remain open for all to comment, all we ask is if you comment as anonymous then please add your name on the comment, it helps us, with deciding what to share in the future. We can get a picture of what certain people like, if you take your time to add a name. *

* Anybody who sends an anonymous comment and doesn't add a name the on the comment, it will be published on Vibes, but no one will reply to your comment. Add a name and we will answer you back and pleased to do so. *

* All comments will as always be monitored & anything we feel is unsuitable won't be published. *

My Posts Here.

* I have been thinking long and hard this week on how to manage my download links, add a password or ask you to request a download link, via comments or email have been ruled out, as is more laborious for all involved. *

* There will be at least on post per day from me, but if comments increase and are maintained at that level, then so will the number of my posts, but if increase in the number of comments drops, then so will my shares per day, back to one per day.  *

* So the option I have decided on is links with shorter life spans, and/or limits on the number of downloads or both which is my preferred option. Therefore from 20th April 2026, my links will be valid for 7 or 14 days only (depending on the format), after that, they are gone, and they won't be re upped, so don't ask. *

* I have played around with some services and I have decided on one that, that I have been using for ages, to upload and I can set the timing for the link (live span), with another as back up to that, which i can set the live of the link and the number of downloads or both. So you will need to be quick to get them. The service is quick to upload and download for you, which is good for everyone involved. * 

* I have also given some thought, to my format with shares, so I will start again to also share in Flac & wav here, but these will only be active for 7 days. The 320 shares will be active for 14 days. The majority of my posts will be mp3 @320, with the odd Flac/wav thrown in every now and then. If I share a box set it will be treated as flac and the link will last the same time period of 7 days. *

* I will always add on the post or in the comments, how long the posted link will stay active for, which is only fair. *

People Who Comment Here Using A Name.

* To the people who have commented in the past with a name on a regular basis, you are free to comment and ask for a re-up (this won't be posted on the site, you will need to add second comment, which won't be posted, with your email address, I will then email you a personal link (320 only, sorry no Flac) if the original post was Flac then you will only get a 320 copy for a re-up . *

* They are also able to request an album (320 only, sorry no Flac) they maybe missing from their collection, if we don't have a copy, I will source you a copy. This will be posted on the site, so everyone can take advantage. Please don't ask for something we have shared in the past as that is a re-up, and you will get a personal link. As these will be posted on Vibes we won't need a second comment with an email address. *

Gift To Vibes Visitors

* OK because I deleted all my links here on Vibes, as a show of good faith, I will make a post (some time today) where for one week and one week only, you may request a re-up of any one of my posts (only my posts), the links will be active only for a very short period (will decide how long when I begin adding them, 7 days sounds good for me). Maybe there will be no requests, who knows. The offer will end on Monday 27th of April, this gives you a week. We will see maybe I will make this offer again in 3 months time (and make it a regular post in the future, every 3 months, which would give new visitors a chance to get an album they have missed), we will see, that will depend on if the number comments here has risen or not, and the increase is maintained, so that is in your hands really, the more you comment the more you get. * 

* If you have any questions or wish to make a comment about this post, then please feel free. Feed back is good. *

*Reb*

RE-UP of any Reb post (limited for 7 days only)

* So here is the RE-UP post, you are free for one week only to request and new link, for anything I have shared here on Vibes. This is a offer is limited to a week, ending on Sunday 26th April 2026 @ 12 noon UK time. *

* I will send you a new link via email, so you need to add one comment say the artist and album title you would a re-up for. Add another comment with an email address (which we won't post on the site. You will only get mp3 320, if the original post was Flac or wav, then I am sorry but you will receive a 320 copy, that's the way it is. Or you can send the request via email 4vibessite(at)proton.me, exchange (at) with @ which ever is the easiest for you. *

* It's possible if comments increase on Vibes at a maintained rate, that this offer might be repeated every three months, enabling newbie to Vibes, to access some of the archive here. *

1979 - Neil Young - Live Rust

1979 - Neil Young - Live Rust @320

All the kudos Neil Young earned for Rust Never Sleeps he lost for Live Rust, the double-LP live album released four months later. Live Rust was the soundtrack to Young's concert film Rust Never Sleeps (he had wanted to give it that title, but Reprise vetoed the idea, fearing confusion with the earlier album), and likewise was recorded October 22, 1978, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. But much of the Rust Never Sleeps album had been recorded on the same tour, and Live Rust repeated four songs from that disc; besides, since Young had released the career retrospective Decade in 1977, critics felt he was unfairly recycling his older material and repeating his new material. In retrospect, however, Live Rust, now a single 74-minute CD, comes off as an excellent Neil Young live album and career summary, starting with the early song "Sugar Mountain" and running through then-new songs like "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Powderfinger." Young is effective in both his acoustic folksinger and hard-rocking Crazy Horse bandleader modes. The various distractions of the concert itself and the film, such as the pretentious props and cowled roadies, are absent, and what's left is a terrific Neil Young concert recording. (AllMusic)

1979 - Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps

1979 - Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps @320

Rust Never Sleeps, its aphoristic title drawn from an intended advertising slogan, was an album of new songs, some of them recorded on Neil Young's 1978 concert tour. His strongest collection since Tonight's the Night, its obvious antecedent was Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home, and, as Dylan did, Young divided his record into acoustic and electric sides while filling his songs with wildly imaginative imagery. The leadoff track, "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" (repeated in an electric version at album's end as "Hey Hey, My My [Into the Black]" with slightly altered lyrics), is the most concise and knowing description of the entertainment industry ever written; it was followed by "Thrasher," which describes Young's parallel artistic quest in an extended metaphor that also reflected the album's overall theme -- the inevitability of deterioration and the challenge of overcoming it. Young then spent the rest of the album demonstrating that his chief weapons against rusting were his imagination and his daring, creating an archetypal album that encapsulated his many styles on a single disc with great songs -- in particular the remarkable "Powderfinger" -- unlike any he had written before.

1972 - Neil Young - Harvest (50th Anniversary Edition)

1972 - Neil Young - Harvest (50th Anniversary Edition) @320

Produced by Elliot Mazer and originally released in February 1972, Neil Young’s Harvest album has become one of his best loved projects. It topped the Billboard Top 200 chart for two weeks and produced a number one single “Heart of Gold”—Young’s solitary U.S. chart-topping single. Following the end of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1970, he employed a group of session country musicians to record Harvest with, which he dubbed The Stray Gators.

Available on vinyl and CD formats, this 50th Anniversary bundle is an absolute treat for Neil Young admirers. Along with the original record, it includes the previously unseen movies—Harvest Time and the 1971 BBC live performance—along with three studio outtake tracks (“Bad Fog of Loneliness,” “Journey Through the Past,” “Dance Dance Dance”) and a hard-bound book with liner notes from photographer Joel Bernstein. The vinyl version also includes a lithograph print.

The album consists of some unusual changes of direction away from the sessions at the ranch. “Needle and the Damage Done”—a plea to his friends and Crazy Horse bandmate Danny Whitten about the obliterating effect of heroin—was recorded the previous year at a live performance at UCLA. “A Man Needs a Maid” and “There’s a World” were recorded by Nitzsche with the London Symphony Orchestra at Barking Assembly Hall in the UK. You can see from the film footage that this process with the orchestra was at times a tense and uneasy one, with Young yearning to get back to those playful, joyous, and almost innocent days at Broken Arrow. Despite Young’s sometimes awkward, equipment-fumbling, endearing interludes during the BBC concert footage, his version of “Don’t Let it Get You Down” here is jaw-dropping.

Harvest was recorded during a seemingly settled period of Young’s life, with much of its music inspired by his loving relationship with the late actress Carrie Snodgress. Young manages to bring in the likes of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and old band pals Crosby, Stills & Nash in such a subtle and unobtrusive way. It remains a sonic blend of love, melancholy, mortality, and vulnerability. Harvest is an album to be truly celebrated and this half-century edition is a fitting tribute (Under the Radar)

2024 - Texas & Spooner Oldham - The Muscle Shoals Sessions

2024 - Texas & Spooner Oldham -
The Muscle Shoals Sessions (Flac)

Listening now to Texas’ career-spanning Very Best Of 1989-2023 compilation from last year, it’s evident that this successful Scottish band with Sharleen Spiteri at its helm has always had a fad-free no-nonsense and timeless soul/blues authenticity at their heart, something likely the key to their longevity and ability to fill arenas. For this latest album, after all, Texas went to the Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals to refine – as opposed to define – their songs, with the help of producer, keyboardist and Southern soul heavyweight Spooner Oldham.

This guy’s CV includes playing on Aretha Franklin albums, co-writing credits with Dan Penn, and if that wasn’t quite enough to shout about, Oldham has also worked with both Neil Young and Bob Dylan. As for The Muscle Shoals Sessions? Of the 12 Texas songs deconstructed in Fame, I Don’t Want A Lover, In Our Lifetime and a superb cover of Charles & Eddie’s Would I Lie To You are more than enough to show that Texas and Spooner Oldham is a combination which fits like a glove.

Vibes news

 

* Ok I am taking some time out, Vibes will continue, we are not closing or going private. I want to think about how and what I share here in the future. I think from now on it will be one post per day, when I restart posting next Monday (except for Mondays) with Box Of Vibes and the Jungle with a ReggaeRagga Edge series. If people take the time to thank here, then I could increase the number of posts, as long as the comments increase, if they drop again then so will the amount of posts from me will also drop. Andy, Concha and leeds (he will be returning to Vibes soon, was talking to him this morning, hopes to be back June time), are free to make as many or as little posts as they wish, nobody makes them post, they are free to do as they want. The choice is theirs in what bitrate they post (will always state it on the post), what format mp3, flac or wav. And the choice of music is their selection, whatever genre they wish. *

* The only rule in place at Vibes is we now have a no re up policy for all posts, so don't ask. (regular commentors read further down) *

* I am going to think about the comments settings and as you don't seem to want to say thanks and add your name to anonymous comments, do we turn comments off completely (staff only able to comment), or google accounts only, or all and leave anonymous comments open. What ever happens comments here will always be monitored and will have to be approved. *

* Then there is the links in my posts, as they were for all to grab, or password protected (each post would have an individual password), or you have to request links, either via comments or email, this will depend on what I decide with the comment settings. And maybe all my links will be limited to 7 or 14 days only. In the future they won't be for 3 months that's for sure. I will continue only with 320 posts, I won't ever post flac or wav here on an open site. All my links have been removed so please don't report dead links, the only links of mine that are still active are the Box Of Vibes and Jungle with a ReggaeRagga Edge series. *

* Regular commentors will still be able (depending on the system of the comments, here on Vibes) to request re up's of posts or request albums, but this may have to be via the site email. This will all become clear.  *

* The strange thing, comments dropped again but downloads and visits to the site increased. * 

* Any anonymous comment without a name added, will not be answered in the future. We are grateful for your thanks & comment, but without a name then no reply. * 

* For the time being the comments is open to all, subject to approval. *

* This post is now closed to comments, as most of the decisions have been made. So come back on Monday when I will post, what is going to happen.*

2023 - Herman Chin Loy - Musicism Dub

2023 - Herman Chin Loy - Musicism Dub @320

Dub producer Herman Chin Loy who was one of the pioneers of the style in the early 70s, and this reissue of two formerly unnammed and mislabeled, all but lost LPs - now combined to make up a compilation known as Musicism Dub - perfectly captures the earliest incarnation of the sound. 'Musicism' is a good term to describe the spectacular character of Loy's dub. Dub as a genre itself has been at times described as one of the first popular music styles to use the sound of the beat as a point of intrigue in itself, rather than relying solely on melodies or lyrics. The Chin Loy sound flaunted here is as indicative of this approach, though it is also staunchly rooted in the vintage style of analog production, with the likes of 'Armagideon War' and 'Don't Fight The Man' nailing that undeniably early chillout sound: nicely-glued lows and spitty tops. (Juno)
