As a kid, I similarly misinterpreted the title of the album "The Who Live at Leeds"
eta, Reading up on "Live at Leeds" on Wikipedia:
Realising that their live show stood in equal importance to the rock-opera format of Tommy, the group returned to England at the end of 1969 with a desire to release a live album from concerts recorded earlier in the US. However, Townshend balked at the prospect of listening to all the accumulated recordings to decide which would make the best album, and, according to Charlesworth, instructed sound engineer Bob Pridden to burn the tapes.[4] Townshend later confirmed the tapes were indeed burnt in his back garden.[7]
Thanks, I'll grab the Buckley. (One of the reviews of the Elvis asks "who does not love the King?" Apparently I don't love him enough to download for free.)
As a little side hobby, I've been digging through the NoiseTrade site of promotional music offerings. I've put together a list of the items I found to be of interest.
The site currently has ~35,000 items. I've gone through about a quarter of that. I've determined that, on average, ~95% of the items are not my cup of tea (likely due to my not being a music label looking for raw beginners).
So, considering how much chaff one has to go through, I thought a list of my finds could be of value to someone. Granted the gems, in this collection, are few and far between but the balance are at least pleasant and often enjoyable.
@dataGuy , from your posts over the last couple of days I am starting to think that you make lists instead of sleeping...:-) (Thanks for posting them, lists are good.)
Much of this stuff is years in the making - so I do get some sleep.
If any one finds something interesting enough to download, please let me know. I'm very curious and could also use some feedback. Also, I just recently reorganized the NoiseTrade list to make discovery easier; any thoughts?
Sometimes there are benefits beyond 'interesting enough to download'. I managed to spend a few minutes with your list yesterday and the Cal Tjader Latin Jazz album caught my eye. I listened to some samples and am not entirely sure it's going to be one I will buy, but I have bookmarked it for a more intentional listen, partly because I know nothing about Cal Tjader. Whether or not I buy it I will have listened to something new and learned something about music - those are both good outcomes.
Highly recommend Soul Sauce from Tjader. A classic that got a LOT of play around our house when I was growing up. There are others too, but this is a great starting point.

Now playing: Anton Webern - Sechs Lieder Op. 14 - #2 Abendland I
@Germanprof my comment about "interesting enough to download" was referring specifically to the Noisetrade list, where every item is free (no Cal Tjader I'm afraid).
My favorite Tjader lp is 'Soul Burst' (don't think it is any longer on eMusic):
He also cut a couple of LPs with The Dave Brubeck Trio that are good fun:
p.s. If you just now discovered Cal Tjader then I think I have done my good deed for the day....
Tjader is a funny case...Decidedly not Latin, but a big star in Latin music in the 50s-60s. (I guess that's not so dissimilar to Stan Getz 'discovering' Brazilian samba.) Especially the Verve stuff can sound a little "elevator" at first, but he had serious jazz chops, including that early stint with Brubeck.
I doubt this one is on anyone's best of Cal Tjader list - But it is the first song on my Halloween-themed playlist!
@Doofy, the download link worked for me (located right before the set list). You can't right-click on the link and do a 'save as'. You have to click on the link which will either take you to a new window or open a new tab to a MediaFire page that has a download button to get the goods.
There's a collection of dozens of remixes of a track by Marcus Fischer here (soundcloud) that can be downloaded one by one for free. They include versions by Fischer himself, Stephen Vitiello, Benjamin Dauer, Specta Ciera... with a little cherry picking you can put together a nice Fischer remix album from these.
- "I talked to one of the musicians who is on this and got a more complete story. First, these aren’t outtakes at all and, second, they weren’t initially intended to be a Bowie album. The idea was to form a sort of supergroup behind Bowie and Eno, and record an album as a one-off project for that group. This is essentially that album. So what we have here is a fully-realized concept album for a group that never came into existence. It was then presented to the record company, who as we all know rejected it as “uncommercial.” After that, Bowie used parts of it as the basis for an entirely new project, which became 1.Outside. So, had this been released, Outside would have never happened. So, rather than this being outtakes from Outside, it’s actually more true that Outside was based on outtakes from The Leon Suites, an album in its own right."

Erm, great decision, Pete...
