It's not even on here, so I guess you'll only be finding it on vinyl and it'll be very, very rare...

I've got a cdr comp with all the James Ray tracks, singles & mixes which don't appear on the cd albums. If anyone wants to trade a copy with me then please let me know!
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

It's on the b-side of the Texas 12".It sounds like Mr.Eldritch has done the backing vocals.

Would anybody mind doing me a big favour and trading ALL (except Third Generation) James Rays stuff on CD with me?

JR himself says this is fine. 8)

I can offer a shedload of dodgy Sisters boots to trade.

Cheers in advance. 8)

ok -does anyone know why all the James Ray stuff that i downloaded when it was first posted ages ago is m3u -but on the james ray site now they are mp3?

i'm downloading them again as mp3 so as i can burn them to cd for planet dave (see above) but wondered whether it's worth keeping the m3u files on my pc and if there as a reason for this? :?:

Odd... m3u is normally used for playlists...

If it works I'd just keep it, perhaps just change the extension...

will rectify this soon. My Coo Ca Choo is not one of my songs, so copyright issues stop me from giving it away for free. It's no big loss!

Well, that's true. Though it's absolutely bloody fantastic. :lol:

I'd imagine you'd be allowed to give it away since you're not profiting from it in any way. But hey. :P

heres the track list for the cdr comp i have:

mexico sundown blues instrumental
texas single version
mountain voices
johnny goodbye
assassin 64
a new kind of assassin
souther white knight live
another million dollars
hell blonde chiara
underdog live 10-12-89
without conscience
destination assassination
fuel short
cadillac coming
third generation radion mix
f**k
third generation guitar mix

All burnt directly from vinyl. I think the only non-album track missing is the long version of fuel.

I'll happily trade this for some sisters or other dodgy 80s/90s goth demos.

I have come across a cd called 'Evolution' with demos of johnny goodbye, dreams, mexico sundown blues, edie sedgwick, dance and pbr streetgang.
The cd looks like it must have been made at the end of their existance as it has written on the inner sleeve :
'tracks 1 - 5 recorded in 1985 in a small loft in a small town in a small corner of england. these are their first tracks.
Track 6 recorded in 1988 in a large room over looking the red light distric in a lasrge city of a large area of germany. This was their last track.'
Does anyone know if this was widely available at any time.
