I am looking for APB- Something to believe in.

I am willing to trade, I guess most of my collection is more 80s college-indie than techo-new wave.

i have a 192 bitrate rip of the album. do you have cure for the blues by them or see the money in my smile from the jack rubies? i'm also looking for albums off these list. i have a lot of them but am seeking more:

http://www.nwoutpost.com/mfv_list.asp, http://www.trouserpress.com/70s_and_80s.php, http://www.trouserpress.com/90s_and_beyond.php, http://www.cherryred.co.uk/books/indiehits/a.htm, (replace the a with other letters to see other bands under the corresponding letters of their names)
http://www.twee.net/bands/indexcomplete.html

i consider wave/ post punk to be alternative so whatever alternative 80's stuff you got i'll likely be interested in.

How bizarre that I stumbled onto this site looking for APB and found someone else looking for the same. I had a few of the tracks, but they somehow got erased, and, alas, I am only eft with "Shoot Me Down."

I thought I had gotten my hands on a CD copy of "Something to Believe In," but it was sold out from under me.

I have a ton of other obscure 80's mp3's and am in the process of figuring out how to transfer vinyl to my G4.

In the meantime, any suggestions for good places to go (besides the obvious) for New Wave mp3's?

Thanks!

I have APB's greatest hits... and would be more than glad to share with any APB fan... I saw them at Spit in 1985...

I hope everyone knows that Something to believe in has been re-released on Young American with additional tracks. YAM have also released all the BBC Radio 1 apb recordings on a second disk.

'Twas money well spent. For WLIR fans, some of the bonus tracks came from an LIR broadcast. (I got a chance to go on LIR and play one a few weeks back, when I guested on Subculture Live...)

Yes, like dodapb stated, "Something to Believe In" has been re-released with a bonus cd. And it is much cheaper then buying the original cd on ebay. I suggest adding it to your collection even if you didn't listen to them on WLIR because it is a great cd.
