B.A.F moving house again

HI gang.

Yep moving house again so I am packing up my vault of tunes once more. I expect to be moved into 'dream house' one month from now and just in case I can't manage to post some more crackers for you before then or indeed between then and Christmas then please come back in the new year and have a look.

I have more 'fridge style' classics waiting in the wings and a few more similar interesting nuggets lined up as well as some joyous stuff in the pipeline.

Follow me in the mean time and check back for updates and feel free to comment or request anything, you never know your luck.

Prince: Dirty Mind live & in 3D

Prince
Dirty Mind: Live & in 3D
1981-1982
224kbps


- dirty mind (live in Paris 81)
- when you were mine (live NYC 81)
- do it all night (live NYC 81)
- gotta broken heart again (live Paris 81)
- uptown (live Saginaw '82)
- head (live Saginaw '82)
- sister (live Paris 81)
- partyup (live Saginaw 82)

Ok, I maybe lied about the 3D bit, however I have decided to give one of my favourite Prince albums, and one of my favourite albums period! (I said period!) The Big American Fridge treatment.
Too long have I lived with 1980's classic Dirty Mind album with it's brilliant songs but with it's frustratingly colourless sound. Too long I say.  It's Time to Fridge it up!

I have scoured my vast, but by no means complete, vault of Prince material and I have chosen MY favourite versions of these songs. Taken from 3 different concerts. The Ritz NY, March 22nd 1981; Paris, France June 3rd 1981 &  Saginaw MI, February 4th 1982. I know that the live mix from the Paris show is not brilliant but the performance is spectacular. By then the band was so tight they they could relax & just play the songs. Listening to gigs from the Dirty Mind tour you can hear Prince's first  transformings into the great god he would later become.  It is an outstanding period. (I said period again!)

So those of you unfamiliar with Dirty Mind prepare to be blown away, those of you who are familiar with the great album, it is like an old black and white movie been given the full colour 3D IMAX treatment.

Hang on to your sock folks! O and if you like this, go and buy the original. Cheers.
