THE SUNDAY CORRESPONDENTS

That's literally what I have to offer this week. Details of three comments/e-mails.

First up is from an anonymous reader who says

"I'd like to request a repost. Billy Bragg sang her verse saying "let's do one for Kirsty" at his tour-ender last Sunday in D.C. What a great singalong (except we didn't know her version as well...).

The request was for this:-

mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - A New England (12" version)

and here's the b-sides while I'm on:-

mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - Patrick
mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - I'm Going Out With An Eighty Year Old Millionaire

Incidentally, anyone who has ripped A New England from me from past postings might want to do ana update. I've re-recorded it without the skips and jumps.....

Oh and a couple of bonuses:-



mp3 : Kirsty MacColl & Billy Bragg - A New England (live acoustic)

Second comment is from The Manic who simply said

"Anyway I can download the Sleep ep disc 2? Link's no longer working I suppose."

The link was of course taken down not long after the original posting, but just for The Manic and anyone else interested:-

mp3 : Marion - Sleep
mp3 : Marion - Waiting For No-One
mp3 : Marion - The Collector
mp3 : Marion - Violent Men

And finally, an e-mail of the sort that makes doing TVV all worthwhile:-

Hello,

I am writing to you from Paris, France. I like your blog and visit it almost everyday. I am a huge fan of the Smiths and Josh Rouse.

There's a cover from Josh Rouse I really like (see attached). I find it better than the original. Maybe you can publish it one the Vinyl Villain blog one day? Glad to share.

Please continue to make me discover great music and nice classics.

Have a nice day.

Eric

Apart from being hugely flattered by what Eric has written, I was delighted to be given a copy of a song I didn't have. And he's correct - it is a cracking version of a track originally recorded by The Cure:-

mp3 : Josh Rouse - The Perfect Girl

As I've said before, I'll do my best to occasionally re-post mp3s featured way back, and also if, like Eric, you've something unusual that you'd like to share, please feel free to make a contribution via The Sunday Correspondents series (but please, I don't use TVV as a promotional tool for new and emerging or unsigned acts.)

Happy Listening.
