The Alarm - “The Soundboard Archive”

Thanks to the original uploaders!

For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.

This has been my methodology:

I. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist.

As of this writing, I've made compilations for the following, in chronological order:

01. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

02. Marvin Gaye

03. Alison Krauss & Union Station

04. The Fall

05. Blind Melon

06. Rush

07. Eddie Money

08. Bob Marley & The Wailers

09. 10cc

10. Alabama Shakes

11. 10,000 Maniacs

12. 311

13. Doc Watson

14. AC/DC

15. Adele

16. Adrian Belew

17. Radiohead

18. The Alarm

19. Billy Joe Shaver

20. Led Zeppelin

21. Bottle Rockets

II. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version.

III. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue.

IV. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released.

Enjoy! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items (to the best of my knowledge & as of this writing; asterisks denote BGE/Wolfgang’s Vault) -
