REQ: a couple of B-sides

Postby Passing_Stranger » Wed Mar 19, 2025 5:44 pm

Hi guys! Just thought I'd ask you for help - I need a couple of songs for my future compilations and cannot find good versions of them online, what I see is brickwalled and I don't like using those.

What I need are those two:

Men at Work "Crazy" - it's a B-side of their most successful hit but is strangely neglected by CD compilers or mastered too loud. Maybe someone has a decent copy, even if from vinyl?

Belle Stars "Turn back the clock" - the recent compilations from Cherry Red are hideously brickwalled but it was featured on earlier ones: "Belle-Issima" and "Belle Stars Collection". Maybe someone has one of these? Even the vinyl rip will do.

Hopefully someone can lend a hand (even if by PM). Any help will be warmly appreciated :D

Thank you for taking your time but those are exactly the versions I was talking about - too loud/brickwalled. I'm looking for better (earlier) mastering or vinyl rips. Please do let me know if you come across those.
