Maybe Ian can answer why this gem isn't on the Anthology? 


Though some of us have pretty much everything recorded by Geldof, I only just became aware that this is on the 12" of Love Or Something.  And now I have to hear it


Is there is anyone out there who has it and can make an MP3?


PS MP3s of Room 19 (Live)/The Beat Of The Night (Live)/Rat Trap (Live) off the Crazy single would be appreciated, but aren't quite as desirable

I didn't know this song existed and would also be very interested in getting hold of an MP3 of it. What other 'must hear' gems don't I know about and haven't appeared on the Anthology?

ArrGee I have an MP3 of Rat Trap live and other Rats tracks, but not any solo ones. Let me know if you want it and how to send it. Bear in mind Fran couldn't work some of my MP3's, or was it because they M4a files or something strange like that?

I think it was because they were m4a files, which seem to be a proprietary Mac thing.  There may be a converter somewhere, which ArrGee might have.


Then again, he might have a Mac.

Is there a way of getting vinyl/tape onto CD/mp3? If so we could probably manage to get some of these rarities. What equipment might you need? Surely it is possible? Legal? Well that is another matter.

I can, but I'd need the mini disc (oh and a mini disc player!).  The way to do it is to get a soundcard, one of those headphone jack to phono connectors and software like audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).


Of course, should you have a digital output on the MD player and digital in on CD/DVD recorder then you can make more or less perfect copies. [though I confess as I don't have an MD so how this would work...)

You should have Rat Trap live. Someone was asking for Europe is Ugly live a few months ago. I've never seen a live version, but maybe there is one out there?

  • Download audacity off soundforge http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and install
  • Plug your hi fi into the soundcard (may need a cable to do this)
  • Play the record (or tape)
  • Record with audacity
  • Set File->Preferences->File Formats->MP3 Export Setup -> Bit Rate = 256 (most portable!)
  • Export as mp3
  • Post to ratchat2005@yahoo.co.uk

But here is a download......

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V084HIQ0


You may need to tinker with the sound levels via volume control for the output, but that's essentially it.

Yay! I see it, thanks a lot!  A bit like You Can Call Me Al at points, really good to hear this mix (all six minutes of it), a lot of clarity in the vocals.


Hope you had fun rigging up your stereo.


PS Anything you are looking for, have some live Rats from Hammersmith 78 and 82 (and other stuff) , let me know


PPS Got this messsage - "A license has been downloaded to your computer. You may now use the file."  Maybe Bobi G could make an unprotected version if anyone else wants it.  He knows all about that stuff.

I have the Hammersmith Odeon 1982 and Dominion 1985 (aka On a Night Like This)


Other than that nothing that rare, just b-sides, and alternate versions from In the Long Grass of Lucky, Rain and Drag Me Down
