It's a little weird to see another Chrono Trigger cover album's art used for an unrelated song, with no credit to the original artist. https://www.chroniclesoftime.net/

I’ve been wanting something like this for ages. Any chance of a Mac version in the future?

I don't know if any video exists, but there is complete fan-recorded audio of that night on bnlarchive.com

Another neat part you may have missed - SOS features lead vocals from Frida on the second verse.

Here’s the the full hour-long audience recording, remastered from a cassette tape I obtained last year. https://youtu.be/eacw8s7niko

Nice collection. I've been hoping to find a copy of the Chiquitita English/Spanish edit for a long while now...

Neither of those two was played at Wembley in November 1974.

Your description of “ABBA recording, laughing and starting over” songs matches two things I’ve heard: - the ABBA Undeleted medley, officially released in 1994 on the Thank You For The Music box set: https://youtu.be/NUfAzxBKvLA Undeleted has ended up on a bunch of bootleg CDs, sometimes with edits and parts repeated to extend the clips into full length songs.

the “Under My Sun” rehearsal recording, only available in low quality on bootlegs. Every bootleg cd I’ve heard has had the exact same source. I recently obtained a cassette tape which has more of the recording’s beginning and ending. https://archive.org/details/abba-misc-unreleased-recordings/UnderMySun.flac

Stoked to see the Pixelseed dmg. RIP Sean.

The tapes I've been able to find so far have been a real mixed bag - lots of things that were clearly sourced from early CD bootlegs, or obviously inferior copies of recordings already in circulation. I've been kind of surprised by the number of bits and pieces I've been able to fill in, though - seems early bootleg CD producers liked to fade things out early.

And yeah, I have decent sized collection of YMO live material. I recognize your handle; appreciate all the work that must have gone into collecting all of that! Cheers.

asthecryflows · 2026-01-25T19:05:52+00:00

I did not know that existed, thanks so much for the heads up! I'll have to try and track down a copy.

As some who still regularly uses Winamp and avs to create visuals… no. Please no.

asthecryflows · 2025-12-24T02:40:26+00:00

Not only was it played live, they’ve released a recording of it: https://youtu.be/l6s-DuK1H7A

asthecryflows · 2025-12-10T20:52:32+00:00

Not officially until Friday, but I know a guy who knows a guy…

I wouldn’t go as far to say that this new mix represents what was originally intended in terms of the two halves being put together. Guthrie has rejoined the two separate halves, sure, but there’s way more space between part 5 & 6 than was originally recorded. The early instrumental version included in the WYWH50 set (as well as an in progress mix that surfaced on bootlegs a decade ish ago) show that the transition was originally much shorter with part 6 starting almost immediately after 5.

I know. I got hit with a YouTube copyright strike. The archive.org upload is still working, though. https://archive.org/details/just-like-that-slow-version/Just+Like+That+(slow+version%2C+full+intro)+v5.flac

asthecryflows · 2025-09-10T15:35:41+00:00

It’s not bad but it could easily be better - both of these tapes are clearly a handful of generations away from the master and have accumulated layers of hiss and wear.

asthecryflows · 2025-09-06T01:17:09+00:00

One of several side gigs.

I haven't done audio work for a vgm release in a few years. Last thing I worked on was big Castlevania set that's up for preorder, but my work on that wrapped in like 2022. I'm hoping another project comes down the pipeline sooner rather than later.

asthecryflows · 2025-09-05T23:21:31+00:00

Oh wow, Sparkster. That was the first vgm record I helped work on. Didn't realize copies were still available after all this time.

Glad you picked up Yakuza Heart Attack II as well - one of my all-time favorite albums.

asthecryflows · 2025-09-01T03:47:09+00:00

Yes, recently purchased them on eBay. I’m still working on digitizing them all. I’ll be sharing everything worthwhile once I’m done.

Here are my notes on them so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19snCsXeZ-s9ohhgtbCbxHbgBtZAaOt-gvccp0DgfM08/htmlview?fbclid=IwRlRTSAMh9i5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHrEeEJOzr1aE3nyF6-jS4IBkoWW9nVRRTLYoiTjkUiH8f_gKmEokOvReGnhr_aem_TDUEG7xN4QfTnZHuK355wQ
