Here's one of those. Just decided to round up some short B-sides of our favourite era - firstly all-electronic, as I adore synthpop, but then it stared to balloon (as often does when I try to do something quick). I trawled through my collection, then started to check discographies by bands I'm not that familiar with, then it's Discogs for more obscure stuff... Anyway, got enough for 10 volumes now It's very addictive, you see, and also there's a collector in me doing his thang.I made some rules along the way. I decided to exclude songs that also were on albums or versions of those (live, re-recording, remix etc), also no covers, finally, of course, only tracks with vocals on them (real or sampled). Sometimes there were shorter versions on 7" and longer ones on 12", but I went with 7" ones anyway. All this made the task much harder, as it turned out, but all the more interesting for it. Eventually I decided not to dispense with LP songs but grouped them in a separate volume, with which I think I'll close the series. I've done my best to get an even sound but lots of songs are only available on brickwalled CDs or digital releases, so they too went on a separate folder.
All in all, lots of work but so much fun! So once a week a new volume, hopefully. Of course most of you have already heard this stuff but hopefully in this context it'll be of interest. "Let me know what you think in the comments below"
