ok, ok, everyone calm down. it's getting a little too close to the usual elitist trading bullshit that means only a few special people have access to rarities and never share them with the rest of us.
JMRL, THANKS for posting! which blog is this from? i think we should try and track down a lossless version. in fact whomever originally shared this needs a slap on the wrist for converting such a rarity to mp3 in the first place. everyone these days can easily download FLAC or SHN files. what's more, they saw fit to use 128kbps - absolutely unforgiveable. sounds shocking. It's just wrong that the only version we have of this track has been mp3-squished to absolute death. listen to those cymbals - squish, squish! so now i suppose only the elite traders get to have the lossless version...
Craig, hows about letting us know when this was recorded? Details? Cheers.
oh, and "PS" - if anyone can provide a solid, logical argument as to exactly how posting commercially unavailable police tracks will deprive the band or its label of income, i'll happily back up the assertion that we shouldn't post them. until then, *what is this?? the mccarthy era??* cripes, lighten up! how much money have we all spent on police related material??? perhaps if if some leaves were taken out of U2 or Genesis' book, a full set of outtakes and demo sessions would be officially released, instead of elitist trading circles having exclusive access to them....
[quote="JMRL"][quote="Craig Betts"]I know all about this session and I would like to know who you got this track from please?

Craig: I have no idea where it came from. I have no inside contact or something like that. I downloaded it from a blog. But I do not have any info of where it came from. I am sorry if this was something that should not be posted here but I was just trying to share a rarity that is not very common to find from the boys. I will edit the post and delete the link if you think so.[/quote]
