HEARTBREAKERS - L.A.M.F. (1977)  (The Original Track Record)

 

Five years ago, i made a first rip of this legendary album, it is still available here in mp3 (320).

You can read over there all my old blah-blah about the L.A.M.F story, my opinion hasn't changed at all, just because this is the first mix i've ever listened to...even though the best mix will remain the 12" Chinese Rocks / Born To Lose.

As a matter of fact, the original mix of this album will be never be reissued on CD, so i've made a brand new rip of this gem in 24bit-96khz.. The 24bit version has been dithered and resampled to 16bit/44.1khz with iZotope RX 2. It is now shared in 3 formats

Only the new mp3 version is available on both RS and MF, just because MF doesn't support files over 200 mb

mp3 (320 lame 3.98): 83 mb (RS)

FLAC: 233 mb (RS)

FLAC 24bit: 724 mb (RS)

HEARTBREAKERS - CHINESE ROCKS (12") (1977)

This is the 12" edition of the first Heartbreakers single.
It was produced by Chris Stamp & Speedy Keen

The first Heartbreakers' single was released on 7" and 12".
The 12" single of "Chinese Rocks/Born To Lose" sounds incredibly more powerful than the original LP produced by Speedy Keen & Daniel Secunda.

According to many sources, it might be possible the problem of the "Track" LP mix was due to a really bad mastering and manufacturing of the original tapes.

Track 2094-135 (12" Edition)

THE PLIMSOULS - ZERO HOUR (Promo EP) (1980)

Formed by singer, guitarist and songwriter Peter Case (who had previously fronted power pop band The Nerves), the Plimsouls began as a trio in 1978 which included Case, bassist Dave Pahoa and drummer Louie Ramírez. From inception, the band quickly became a crowd favorite in the Los Angeles club scene. Long Beach promoter Stephen Zepeda signed the group to his Beat Records label for a five-song EP called Zero Hour. Guitarist Eddie Muñoz joined the group during the recording of the EP. Danny Holloway produced the Zero Hour EP and managed the group.

Special note: This vinyl rip was made in 24 bit/96khz then dithered and resampled to 16bit/44.1khz with iZotope RX 2. It is now available in both lossy and lossless versions and comes with all the scans of the original 12" EP.

The promo release includes the press kit (six parts) that was included within the LP sleeve.
