Anyone have full versions of: Catalogue 3 Acid Memories Closes Volume 1 Play by Numbers Hooper Bay all by boc? very early demo-ish stuff it seems - http://www.discogs.com/artist/Boards_Of_Canada |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
I've got ask why you give links to discogs when there's a perfectly good discog here. Admittedly not finished but still.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he gave the link because it's not finished... makes sense, eh? :) And to answer the question: Only close friends/family of BOC have these releases. They were never commercially released, and were given out in small quantities to said family and friends. BOC has made no committment to ever releasing these early recordings (which go back to the late 80's when BOC was more than just Mike and Marcus). Do NOT be fooled by any of the fakes floating about on the P2P networks... all fake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because none of them are or will be included in the discography so its a fair question. well it would br if it hadnt been discussed to death. no, no-one has them and no-one ever will i suspect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not ALL of them are fake the 24 second extract of duffy is genuine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, because that was grabbed off the old Cosmic Crofter BOC fansite before boardsofcanada.com came about. And, they ARE in the discography here, albiet with broken image links. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
broken image links.... i havent fixed that yet... ok ok ok |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, no problem - it's quite an undertaking... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can see 2 of them there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
low quality versions anyway grabbed from different places during the past years of browsing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those 2 tapes that are all over the net, do any of those tracks come from these other albums? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe access page 2? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No... none of those tracks appear on other releases (at least the ones he was asking about, there are quite a few releases in the BOC back catalogue before Twoism that were not listed on the old BOC site... what was on that site was the Cosmic Crofter's personal collection of what BOC had given him, hence the gaps in catalogue numbers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ask DavidAC's permission before grabbing those images... |
||||||||
|
|

|
sorry phob i didnt see page 2 it was too dark to spot. did you see the notes i made for you about kinesthesia? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you know when the music was made on those tapes or was it made over a period of time? sorry if im going over old ground but this was never really cleared up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well you've enlightened me there :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's a little bit too dark at the moment. can you please enlighten me of the kinesthesia again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
found it now, mate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i never knew these tapes existed... it just a bloody tease... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which tapes? Not all the old BOC releases are on cassette. If you're referring to 'those' tapes, the earliest one dates to 1991-1995, and the other is dated 1996. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they'd go for a fortune on ebay... if anyone ever wanted to sell one of their versions... although I'm sure it never will be sold on ebay, if only family and good friends have them... that would be an end to the relationship I' sure... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i read correctly therell be less than a dozen tapes of each floating round, i see entirely where the argument lies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"*early* boc shit" Couldn't agree more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it probably wasnt shit to them at all back then, but when you get it together its different :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On that site its shows that like 100-200 tapes or CDs of these homemade releases came out. So you'd expect a whole bunch to be floating about somewhere. |
||||||||
|

This is great though it all adds to the feel and vibe of a band. If everything was instantly available then its boring. BOC will probably creep out these old releases like one every 2 or 3 years over the next decade in order to keep fans excited. It'll be the same with Aphex. He'll release old stuff too in the same way over the next decade or so to keep interest going. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. its not uncommon for people to dislike their first 'releases' (and its important that i punctuate 'releases') |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You bet your arse Warp are probably looking at an opportune moment to release some earlier BOC. They'll probably go for the 94 release first I reckon and work their way back or could be the other way. |

Last I heard Mike & Marcus are more interested in releasing their newer material... I am sure they hold those old tracks in high regard, but they've moved on musically from that point and want to do new things more. I highly doubt BOC did 100 DIY copies of each... Twoism I could see (due to commerical pressing minimums, etc.). Those numbers were probably put there just to give fans the indication they were actual releases, and not private collections. Somebody had a Hooper Bay 12" on ebay about a year ago, but it mysteriously got pulled when the seller said he was 'asked' to do so. A WARP/Music70 Box (BoC) Set would be lovely, with the best tracks from each of the old releases selected, or all of them together. Another thing I never thought of is since BoC had more than just Mike & Marcus in the band, perhaps there are royalty/copyright issues that are preventing the old releases from coming out. Perhaps they can't get in touch with certain old bandmembers to gain permission. The world may never know... |

intruiging! thanks for the info :D |
||||||||
|
|

|

i refuse to believe that all these old RDJ and BoC cassette tapes that were given out in the '80s and early '90s are ALL in good hands or have been lost.. i think there are some very quiet and very rich and/or foolish with money super-fans out there who have these in their possession. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Titsworth, Interesting theory. Could be so. We will never know I guess. Whatever the case these tapes do simply create more intrigue and interest in BOC. I wonder if there is even older material dotting about somewhere afterall BOC supposedly started in 1982? |
