This all sounds sketchy. I like it!

Ah, Black Francis - I remember you. Here you are lurking about.

Got anything solid. Lost tracks, Demos, B-Sides?

Brian must also have some loot from running the boards. Anyone talk to Sgt. Fuzz during one of his DJ sets to see if he needs extra income for his mortgage?

Anyone have this track from the Re-Mastered Mysterio (2012) album?

I really don't have much and I am not much of a bootleg collector anyway. I prefer radio and board recordings over audience tapes. I doubt I have anything you don't already have.

Tend to agree with original post as not much has interested me since the first half of Flowers apart from the odd track. The PMM delay was frustrating and peeved with reissues lost count of how many copies I have purchased of Ocean Rain \ HUH etc.
However, I did enjoy Holy Ghost and optomistic the new management may help.

Want to add my two pennies worth about the Marr & Mac tapes. In the late 80's lost interest in the bunnies probably after OR and apart from hearing Candleland. In the early 90's a freind played in a band around Manchester and the North West. A freind of one the band members told me about the missing tapes and may have mentioned that he had a copy of the tapes and mentioning Lowdown was a good song. He also mentioned a story of Johnny phoning Noel G after hearing a demo.

After NLF my interest in all things bunnies picked up, many gigs compared to the only previous one in 1981. Buying most of the CD's reissues and discovering Burned and that song Lowdown.

Over time freinds have moved on, married kids etc, and contact lost. Yeap Nothing Last Forever.

All my good stuff was on an external hard drive I loaned out and have yet to get back. I had almost 50 different versions of the Killing Moon. This is the modern day version of loaning out a cassette in high school and never getting it back.

I hope I am safe as I have multiple copies but much less than 50 of Zimbo \ AMC

Is that what they call a 'gigolo'? :confused:

Come on Mr. Brian, everyone here should know by now I took all the Bunnymen/solo Mac songs I disliked, put them on one CD to give them another try and that's what ended up getting stuck in my truck.
