What This Is All About
I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.
I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.
I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........
Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.
Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!
If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!
I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...

i have been wanting to hear this for years.
thanks so much!
Christmas came early...for me anyway.
Glad you got your gift early!
Your feedback is my Christams Present. Thank You!
Marshall Crenshaw is so underated that I'm glad he's mentioned ANYWHERE! I hope there's more rarities coming down the pike from this great songwriter!

Go to Deviant Subculture for some awesome live concerts if you want more rarities...Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks. Love Marshall Crenshaw.
my pleasure!
Thanx so much for this!!!
This is the different mix and production of 3 songs from Marshall's second album "Field Day."
The word I heard was that Marshall wasn't that crazy about the Lillywhite mix for the album, so he had 3 songs remixed... Add a DOR remix of "For Her Love" and throw in a live "Little Sister," and you've got this rare EP.
This seems to be missing the "For Her Love" remix but does have the extended version.
Thanx so much!!!
PS: Do you have the other "For Her Love"?
I guess if it isn't included here I don't have it. Sorry leesa...
Hi again... Thanx for the insanely quick response!
I have the old EP, but no way to digitize it... but I thought there were 5 songs on it(?) Am I mistaken?
Thanx again!
~leesa
Yep...5 tunes...I didn't include both versions when I recorded this to CD years ago...
I was pretty sure I wasn't completely boopshooby...
So, I guess it's prolly impossible to digi the last toon? (Looks gift horse squarely in her generous eyes...)
Either way... i REALLY appreciate the 4 toons!!!!
Thanx again!
~leesa
When I get the motivational call, I'll whip out the vinyl, dust 'er off and rip it some time....look here, I'll post a comment when I do...
Thanx!!!
You did a great job on the 4! They sound sweet!
Not only did I have to dust off the vinyl, but the belt on myturntable was slipping and i had to apply some rubber restorer to get it to smooth out...so her you go leesa...

Wow... I don't even know what "rubber restorer" is...
Is there a purple heart for people who conserve and share the really cool stuff that the record corps et al just can't seem to put out? If not, we need to design one... just for you!
I love the Rhino reissue of Marshall's first album (and the really cool "9 volt years)... so it seems really silly to me that no one compiled this "U.S. Remix" unto the second album (Field Day) to make a "Special Edition."
There may even be more second album out-takes and such that might be cool too.
Oh well... sigh...
Thanx again!
~albabe
Oh yea... one more thing:
I LOVE the picture of all the really cool old TDK Cassettes on your wall rack!!! It's just like all the really neato stuff I got from my brother.
I guess I need to find a way to digitize all the really cool old Cassettes of live Todd, and Hall & Oates and stuff I inherited from my Bro.
I bet all the cool little lights and LEDs on all that equipment look really neato on a dark and rainy night.
Thanx again!
Oh yea... (lol)... Thanx too for the mp3 rather than the WMA files!
I, personally like m4a files best... I read they are a better compression algorithm... but who knows.
leesa,...yes! neato!
This ol' geezer has been collecting those tapes since 1977...and yeah the lights are groovy baby...
And Marshall...one of my all time fav's...enjoy!
"Is there a purple heart for people who conserve and share the really cool stuff that the record corps et al just can't seem to put out? If not, we need to design one... just for you!"
Aw shucks!
"Oh yea... (lol)... Thanx too for the mp3 rather than the WMA files!

My old burned out ears can't tell the difference...Enjoy!
Wow... you actually read what people post on your blog...
So, since you do.... I am looking for any cool Marshall Crenshaw stuff... especially anything that's studio... out-takes and such. I guess he's never been all that popular, but I'm a big fan.
I found these two "unactive" torrents on another site that sounded interesting:
Marshall Crenshaw 1982-xx-xx Pre signing demos
Marshall Crenshaw 1985-xx-xx Downtown Demos (remastered)
Any ideas?
~leesa
Sorry leesa...can't help you on those...but if you find 'em please post a link here...
I really hate to look a generous horse in the mouth, but... Don't put the old EP away just yet... hehe...
I think your newest version is the same as the first one you uploaded.
They're in slightly different keys and have about an 18 second total song time... prolly from the difference in Turntable speeds...
...or am I just crazy?
(Blushes apologetically)
~leesa
Nope...It's definetly the extended version...I'll redo the whole thing tomorrow...
I'm slowing tracking down some Boots of cool unreleased Crenshaw stuff... I have my feelers out... just not many fans of Marshall out there i guess. As soon as I find some, I'll post a link here.
Did you ever do a re-digitize of the U.S. Remix cuts. I don't wanna bug ya... I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it.
It would sure be nice if someone (Wounded Bird?) did a Special Edition of Field Day, like Rhino did for the first album, with these extra remixes.
Thanx again for all your help!!!
~leesa
I found a pretty good live Crenshaw... I figured I should post it here:
http://anomalousmind.blogspot.com/2008/07/marshall-crenshaw-agora-live-1983.html
Just for you Leesa...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4ZVUS1N0
Wowza!!! Thanx so much!!!
The last time I checked back I noticed a period "." as the last message... I figured I was bugging you too much about this cool EP... and that you had stopped the thread... obviously the paranoid delusional side to my usually cheerful personality.
Thanx so much for the lossless files!!!
I just got some crappy M4As (120 - at least they were m4a) of Field Day to replace my worn out old Vinyl... and they sound like dirt against these!
Thanx again!!!
Thanks for the boot Leesa...and enjoy U.S. Remix...Cya
Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the Crenshaw effort!
It was my pleasure to share...enjoy!
It was my pleasure to share...enjoy!
Thank you!!! I had lost the EP in a move several years ago. If you like Crenshaw but were disappointed by the mixes in Field Day, you need the FLAC files of the EP posted here.
Megaupload made it easier to download from the country where I am residing and I can finally get the WHFS shows you posted. I can't tell you how important that radio station was to me, from the time I arrived as a college freshman in 1969 until I left the DC area in early 1986. I hope your links last a while but, in any case, many thanks for uploading so much from the radio station that introduced me to so much great music. Maybe it helped set a soundtrack to my life. (Sounds hokey, but you know that it's true.)
flyte
flyte,
believe me I know it's true. So cool to provide those old WHFS tapes for you. And thanks for taking the time to show your appreciation...The links will stay up as long as people keep downloading them. I let my Megaupload account expire...so whatever doesn't get a download in 90 days will be gone for good...get 'em while you can
Simply fantastic to hear this EP again - thanks for making it available. A note, however: 'Our Town' (as heard on the FLAC file) has a couple of slight wows at the very top, after which it smooths out and sounds great...
thanks hoover, yeah i think the belt on my turntable is biting the dust
You are too silly. Maybe we could all chip in and buy ya one???
Hehe...
~leesa
sounds good leesa!
Many, many thanks for this fabulous Crenshaw rarity, which I didn't even know about.
I just saw Marshall and his band recently at the City Winery here in NYC and though he can't quite sing as high as high as he did on these tracks, he still rocks.
So do you for posting these tracks!
Thanks Moshe! One of my favorite pop singers/songwriters from the 80's
I can't thank you enough for this. I wish they would release a remasted Field Day with these songs included. I'm not holding my breath. Saying Marshall was criminally underappreciated is trite at this point, but it's true nonetheless.
"criminally underappreciated"
Sums it up!
PLEASE!!! can you set up another download? And thank You :-)
PLEASE can you repost the download for the ep?????
