In The Pines (Expanded version) – The Triffids (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/?lffnyqdgdzr

Possibly my favourite Triffids album, this expanded version includes an additional five tracks added to the original.

http://www.mediafire.com/?2zd3nymnqgv

Recorded: 28.03.79 Transmitted:10.04.79

Tracklist: 1. G's Song 2. Mother Earth 3. Bomb 4. Shaved Women 5. Tired

The one and only Peel session that Crass did

The Devil You Know – Todd Snider (2006)

http://www.mediafire.com/?o1vt1yiddjq

The Devil You Know is a catchy, thought-provoking album; the lyrics: courageous, incisive, provocative and witty. This album; like all of his others, are based in good old country music when country music had stories to tell.

Fire of Love – The Gun Club (1981)

http://www.mediafire.com/?fkijzjmondd

What a lot of influences felt on this, ranging from blues, a bit of country, rockabilly touched with a Raw Punk attitude!

Days In The Wake – Palace Brothers (1994)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2mtjywdnzky

Link for Corrupted track 7 – All Is Grace

http://www.mediafire.com/?oliiynzmhh2

A beautiful and heart wrenching album. Will Oldham has never sounded so good.

Power In The Darkness – Tom Robinson Band (1977)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2womentzjym

Thirty Two years on and TRB's Power In The Darkness remains an album of astonishing power and impact. The music: blistering guitars and a rhythm section at full tilt; the voice: angry, passionate, utterly committed; the lyrics: courageous, incisive, provocative, witty.

Peel Session 83 – Bongwater 13.04.91

http://www.mediafire.com/?vkv2wnto4dw

Recorded: 19.03.91 Transmitted 13.04.91

Tracklist: 1. The Power Of Pussy 2. You Don't Love Me Yet 3. White Rental Car Blues
4. Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

Distance and Clime – Centro-Matic (2001)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ly2mwykzwet

Just simple songs with amazing vocal melodies. Centro-Matic holds on to its Texas-style alt-rock roots, but there are enough hooks here, and even a couple of velvety ballads, to keep new converts listening

Dreader Dread 1976 -1978 – Johnny Clarke (1998)

http://www.mediafire.com/?mzjddywmjum

Each and every track on here is outstanding and does this artist the great Johnny Clarke the justice he deserves. This is true Roots music.

Shootenanny! – Eels (2003)

http://www.mediafire.com/?zfmtyww1j0o

Breezy melodies and fuzzy guitar-and-keyboard arrangements that sound built for a summer night's drive. Shootenanny offers music and emotions pared to the bone.

Daytrotter Session 16 – Elvis Perkins 22.02.07

http://www.mediafire.com/?dmfjgleekom

Tracklist: 1. Good Friday 2. Emile’s Vietnam In The Sky 3. All The Night Without Love 4. While You Were Sleeping

Dents and Shells – Richard Buckner (2004)

http://www.mediafire.com/?jy2wmjmzgmz

The voice, the lyrics, and the feel to this album is very special, every song stands out as being very emotional and honest, along with incredible musicianship.

Valhalla Avenue – Fatima Mansions (1994)

http://www.mediafire.com/?jfefkrqmzxn

Though production-wise it sounds a bit dated, it brings back what a great and underrated songerwriter Cathal Coughlan was. The first two-thirds of it are brilliant. The last third gets a bit violent.

Lady Soul – Aretha Franklin (1968)

http://www.mediafire.com/?t0k1wzmyij2

It’s Aretha Franklin; what more is there to say?

Silver Mountain – Deadstring Brothers (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/?md2jdkyzrzn

The Mississippi Delta meets “It’s only rock n’ roll, but I like it.” It’s got that bar room blues feel with immense credibility

Cooks – Stanley Brinks (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ictivmwwzn2

He never fails to deliver; just listen

Live at The Doug Fir Lounge, Portland Oregon September 23, 2005 – Richmond Fontaine (2006)

link removed as requested

This album is from the release party for Richmond Fontaine’s 6th studio album "The Fitzgerald". It features full band versions of nearly all the songs on the record plus a few from previous records. It also features guest musicians Mike Coykendall and Collin Oldham.

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (1968)

http://www.mediafire.com/?t3gnmjegejj

Link for Corrupted Track 6 – I Put A Spell On You

http://www.mediafire.com/?yym1irmnzmm


Many classic 1960s albums lose their shine over time. Brown's masterpiece doesn't. It's just a shame that the success of 'Fire' (a UK No1) gave Brown a reputation as a one-hit wonder, because this is brilliant and hugely influential album.

Julie London Sings The Choicest Cole Porter - Julie London (1991)

http://www.mediafire.com/?kjt2znzymwk

A gem from Julie London -- a dreamy album of Cole Porter tunes, and one that has her singing with small group backing, very much in the mode of some of her best early work for the Liberty label! Recordings taken from mostly the 60’s.

Space Between Bodies – We Are Balboa (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/?dhml2dtnnwn

Link for Corrupted Track 9 – Down – on We Are Balboa’s Space Between Bodies

http://www.mediafire.com/?ojtjymm4mux


Twelve infectious rocking tunes which mix harsh sounding guitar riffs with a crunchy rhythm section and honey drenched female vocals.

Lost Horizon – Friends of Dean Martinez (2005)

http://www.mediafire.com/?jdwfl4znrmt

Friends of Dean Martinez play sophisticated music, but they let it develop organically, at whatever pace seems right. In this case, they've developed yet another excellent album of beautifully arid music.

Peel Session 82 – Pink Floyd 11.08.68

http://www.mediafire.com/?2lnnouklqyn

Recorded: 25.06.68 Transmitted: 11.08.68

Tracklist: 1. The Murderotic Woman or Careful With That Axe Eugene 2. The Massed Gadgets of Hercules 3. Let There be More Light 4. Julia Dream

The third of five sessions that Peel had from Pink Floyd.

A Song – Pablo Moses (1980)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ghmzzzwmqqy

Pablo Moses sings gorgeous melodies with restraint and power. All the songs on this roots reggae record are strong.

Engineers - Engineers (2005)

http://www.mediafire.com/?znkwztnhjmh

This is a melodic, moody and beautiful sounding album, ideal for late at night to chill out to.

Tio Bitar – Dungen (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/?z4gnmkmydrj

Tio Bitar is a little bit folk-country, and a little bit rock'n'roll. But it retains the intense prog-psych-rock that Dungen is known for.

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic – The Sundays (1996)

http://www.mediafire.com/?zdjmy3m0412

Why should pop music be complicated? This record shines for simplicity but remains one of the best records ever released in the 90's.

Wreckless Eric – Wreckless Eric (1978)

http://www.mediafire.com/?y2wziwmlenz

Emerging in England on Stiff Records' initial roster, and with Nick Lowe as his producer, Wreckless Eric greeted the pop world on his first album in 1978 with a grin and a badge proclaiming "I'm a mess." A drop of the needle on the disc confirms it (in the best possible sense).

Cowboy In Flames – The Waco Brothers (1997)

http://www.mediafire.com/?iz2i1t3nyyl

Cowboy in Flames is widely regarded as THE perfect marriage of punk, liquor and roots.
