REQ: Reward - Strangers This Time (1984)

[Dominik500]

Hey does anyone have this single to share? I somehow stumbled upon it on Youtube, and I can't get it out of my head. It's the extended version. Check it out here:

Phil Harding produced, Steve Barnacle played bass... Has anyone heard this before? It's DAMN good!

I'd love to hear the b-side and 7" version. Anyone got it?

Hey D500!

Here's all the tracks I have from Reward. They were provided to me from a fellow fan who used to run a great website called "Torchomatic". It goes back about 10+ years ago, and he's long since gone offline. The quality of the songs isn't great, but I'm not complaining - just nice to have them.

I have the 7" of "It Must Be Love", and the b-side "Not a Chance in Hell" - also, I have the extended version of "Strangers This Time"; however, I am missing the b-side called "Here comes the Dark" which I'd LOVE to hear, if you ever happen to come across it.

Enjoy!!

PS - Here's a thread that talks about the coolness of Torchomatic.

Hi Crichert, thank you for sharing these songs, but the link doesn't work

Hey 80sSPF!

I just checked the link and it worked for me. Did you click on the large grey middle button (says, "Download This File")? There are a few ugly banner ads that say things like "Download", but only that gray button works. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

Hi Crichert, i have no problem downloading the file!
But opening the downloaded file, it says that the file is invalid!
So i can't hear the songs.
Thank you

Hey Crichert, i have the same problem of clalberg.
It seems as the file is not valid.

[crichert]

Weird...how about this?

Hey Crichert...
Nice call on Torchomatic. That was a great site back in the day and a cool dude that ran it. It preceded the whole blogspot thing. I remember finding it and contacting the guy and he sent me 5 CDRs full of all those MP3 singles he had posted thru the previous years. It opened my eyes to so many great bands - Dekka Danse, Sons Of Heros, H2O, This Other Eden and tons tons more. I still have those CDRs somewhere.

Thankyou Crichert! Now is all ok

[crichert]

It was a great site, and really opened my eyes to many obscure bands I had never heard of before. It was like a small Christmas gift every time he posted a new song! [:D]
