Many thanks Phil, grabbing it now...

Many thanks Phil....

thank you!

Thank-you!

There's definitely more than just the one cut on the 'Move Back' version. Just playing about with the files (I've done a rough speed adjustment to match them up) there's about a minute, possibly more, missing. There's a 6 second cut somewhere between the 5 and 7 minute points and another cut around the 12 minute point. I haven't pinned the cuts down precisely, I was just curious to check if anything else missing, and there absolutely definitely is. Perhaps somebody with more time would like to do a definitive investigation?

Good job, PhantomRaspberyBlower. Interesting.

Thank you, Phil. I'm sure we would all appreciate the entire album. I wouldn't want to have to patch the velvet underground 1966 version onto Move Back. Also, I can't really tell with my shitty sound system, but the sound quality of velvet underground 1966 may even be better than Move back. I typed up some instructions on how to rip CDs in case you need them. They're on the previous page.

I am prepared to post that entire 2-CD, but I'll need a host for it, as the hotfile.com you recommended is crashing my computer. The ZIP file is about 615mb, and is ready to go as soon as someone can help get it hosted somewhere.

I hope this helps,

Uploading files in that size range can be problematic. Instead of one big ZIP file, use a multi-volume 7z file. The album will be split into several parts in the 7z file format, each of which you'll upload individually.

Open 7-Zip.
Locate the album's folder (not the ZIP file you created).
Select the folder and click Add (upper left; yellow plus sign).
You will be given a menu with many options.

For "Archive format" choose 7z
For "Compression level" choose Store
A little bit below you'll see "Split to volumes, bytes" Manually type the following into the field: 200M
You also have the option to give the multi-volume archive a name. That option is at the very top under "Archive:"

Click OK. 7-Zip should create four files for you, the first three of which are about 200 MB in size, and the fourth which is the size of the remaining data. You should be able to upload each of those 7z files without issue.

So far feelingfresh is the only one here to express interest in having me post the Bernd Baierschmidt CD. If no one else cares to have that at this time, I ask feelingfresh to PM me to give his or her land mail address, and I will ship a copy out ASAP.

If others are interested, however, someone besides feelingfresh will have to give me an idea for how to get the files hosted, as his or her notes on that are way too complicated for me to follow, and leave me with a throbbing headache. My preference would be to use the same site and process as I did for the Professor Tapes sample files, but I don't recall what that was, nor who helped me through it. Whoever it was made it very easy for me and the process seemed to suit everyone concerned, so I'd be happy to repeat that same site and process.

So, where do we stand with this?

I'm in the process of making some instructions using screen shots and labeling. Even someone who's never seen a computer before in their life will be able to follow 'em.
