The Legendary Pink Dots - Premonition

Cassette, C60
Label : Ding Dong Tapes & Records, The Netherlands, 1983
Ripped by Ron Groenen


That tape is from the fascinating period during which The Legendary Pink Dots were releasing obscure cassettes. Premonition was first released in 1982 by Flowmotion in a very limited edition of 60 copies. That Ding Dong re-release is a little different from the original edition, with more tracks. Most of them were re-released as "Under Triple Moons" CD by ROIR in 1997, but I'm not sure if it's still available.
Anyway, you can listen / download / buy many Legendary Pink Dots and Edward Ka-Spel releases here and here.

A3. Submerged
A4. Amphitheatre

Big City Orchestra / The Legendary Pink Dots - Tryst 7

Cassette, C60
Label : Ubuibi, US, 1994
Limited edition of 200 numbered copies
Riped by jx


From the booklet : "The Legendary Pink Dots side of the cassette is entitled "The Politics Of Excess". It contains Edward's 8-track cut-up of many, many old Dot songs, along with Phil's manipulated samples from the eight track. This was mixed live 11/92 in their attic in Gendt. Having had so much fun on the first mix, a second attempt was made. These were both so lovely and quite different (though it uses the same material), that I could not choose which to use for Tryst, so we do the most confusing option and use both. Half of the Tryst will have Mix One and half will be Mix Two / (...) Since the Pink Dots got to do two mixes, so have BCO".
That post being the rip of one tape, it contains only one mix of each artist / side. If you have the other ones, please don't hesitate to share ! (Another rip of the cassette is available here, but these are the same mixes)

A1. Bedgceityookastraw - Introduction

The Legendary Pink Dots - Live In Paris, Rex Club, 6/02/87

Cassette, C90
Live recording, 1987


I've recorded that live concert myself, with the band's authorization. At the end of the concert, I met a guy from the audience who asked me to send him the live recording, which I did once back in hometown ; a few weeks later, he sent me the cassette cover I've included in the rip. I've never really known (and never asked) if it was a personal cover he made for himself or if he used my recording for an unofficial bootleg cassette release...
Anyway, that was a wonderful concert, and I hope the sound is not too bad...

Various Artists - Compulsory Overtime

LP
Label : Dasein, UK, 1985


On that compilation, it looks like Bourbonese Qualk, The Legendary Pink Dots and Stress are lost among punk bands. Their three tracks, each one in his own style, are very great.
The Legendary Pink Dots' "A Message From Our Sponsor" track is version 1. A very different version was released the same year on the "Asylum" 2LP. That version 1 was later re-released on "Stained Glass Soma Fountains" 2CD, but it sounds like it's a different mix and the LP version is a bit longer. Anyway, a wonderful track !


Tracklist :

A1. Abuse - Don't Tell Me I'm Wrong (2:35)
A2. Blood Robots - Black (3:40)
A3. Bourbonese Qualk - Call To Arms (7:35)
