I know there have been some posts in the past, but they are all outdated - Can any one post the Unouchables "Live and Let Dance" album? This one is impossible to find or buy in any format...

Does anyone at least know where I can find "whats gone wrong" - The original version played so much on KROQ and on the "live and let dance" album?

Glokstadt, do you happen to know if that is the original version? The reason I ask is because the version i remember doesn't have the rap in the middle. Maybe it was a radio edit?

Hey Drew, long time no talk!

Maybe it's the 12" Extended Version? I don't remember, sorry! [:(] I haven't listened to the track for awhile. -Gerald [:0]

Edit: OR, maybe from the E.P.??? [?]

Well, I really like this one more:

The Untouchables - I Spy (For The FBI)

Here is the link for the file you uploaded:
http://download.yousendit.com/47A3E17633929412

A cover from which soul artist? [?]

Does anyone have "Tropical Bird" by them, I have the 7", but not as mp3... [:(]

THanks glokstadt. I would love to hear either of these song... the teasing comment is because I cannot seem to get them to play with either Windows Media or Itunes... the file says MP3, but for some reason I get a "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." error message.

what format is this?

It's an mp3 that got converted to an MPEG Layer 3 Audio when I installed the iTunes player on my PC, I used to be able to play this tune before in my Windoze Media Player... now I can't even open it with that! [:(] [V] Sorry...

Can anyone help? [?] Drew what did you play (the software program) the tune with? [?] _Gerald

That's weird. I'm using XMMS and Mplayer, both linux apps. I get this output from mplayer:

Playing The Untouchables - What's Gone Wrong.mp3.

Audio file file format detected.
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 192.0 kbit/13.61% (ratio: 24000->176400)
Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
==========================================================================

Then again, these apps don't pay any attention to DRM restrictions that may be in the file... :)

This does cheer up... In fact, at home I have been able to listen to all of the songs, except "whats gone wrong" Perhaps the file corrupted in the upload?

Curtis, I played the tune in my LimeWire window, seems to not like my Windoze Media Player or iTunes application... so here is the upload again, in case it went a-stray... [:D]

The Untouchables - What's Gone Wrong

http://download.yousendit.com/897BA946580093A0

And as Drew pointed out is has a small toast in the middle, not the 7" single version, or the LP version, this might be the EP version or a 12" version. [8D]
