I have the four 3 Colours Red albums at 320, which I will post here in the next few weeks. I also have the first 3 in Flac, which I will share on Private Vibes in the next few weeks.
3 Colours Red were a British indie rock band founded in 1995 in London and disbanded in 1999. They reformed from 2002-2005.
The Jayhawks - 1997 - Sound Of Lies (Expanded) @320
Following their first three studio albums, the alt-rock group Jayhawks released what was seen as their breakthrough record, 1994’s Tomorrow the Green Grass, thanks to the gorgeous single “Blue.” But after that release, co-singer/guitarist/songwriter Mark Olson departed the band, a serious blow that could have broken or slowed down the Jayhawks’ momentum. But fortunately the band carried on under the stewardship of Gary Louris, and for the next nine years, the Jayhawks crafted three underrated albums that have just been recently reissued with bonus tracks.
Whether it had to do with Olson’s departure or not, 1997’s Sound of Lies was a rather melancholy and dark record compared to Green Grass – and that mood could be traced in a couple of the songs, whether it is in the form of the reflective ballad Trouble or the turbulent yet brilliant epic “Dying on the Vine.” Great tracks like “The Man Who Loved Life” and “Think About It” should have been hits, and the rest of the record is peppered with gems in the rollicking “Big Star” and the pretty “It’s Up To You.” If anything, Sound of Lies proved there was still life in this band. Among the bonus tracks include a rough mix of the album’s title song. (CD Review)
* So here is the the last of Dub Narcotic Sound System, all five sets are in 320. They are bundled into the one link, so you either take all or none, choice is all yours! *
Lou Reed - 1997 - Perfect Day - The Best of Lou Reed @320
Not actually the best of Lou Reed but most of the biggies are here although Hanging Around and Andy's Chest don't it. A few out takes on disc 2 which are of variable quality but I hadn't come across Ocean before which has become a favourite of mine. Enough classic tracks to make it a worthwhile addition to anyone's collection. (Amazon)
