Argh! The Stranglers' La Folie is missing "Golden Brown". WTF?!?! And the Gorillaz debut is missing "Clint Eastwood" and "Dracula"! Getting a bit frustrated today.
Well there is the Top Hits Version you could substitute, I'm sure you wouldn't miss the original. In fact it's peppier. Or you could just add "Bring on the Nubiles" instead.
wow, I've had good luck with my picks so far - my only problem has been picking which version. Sorry, I didn't realize how weird some of these missing tracks were.
I was excited to see that Lee Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse was there in full (the 3-CD version with 3 hours of glorious music). 13 tracks =36 if/when eMu gets it. It's a great set and better for using just 13 credits (yes, I downloaded the Introduction as well).
Thanks for the Blakey tip. I swear to Monk that I did a track search for "A Night in Tunisia" and I did not see that one. I'm hoping it's the right version to match with that album.
thom, watch out for reissue Strangler tracks that have had horrid extraneous crap added to them - I got stuck with some from the No More Heroes album which I have on vinyl and they really ruined the fun. I'll look up what the source was when I get home - don't remember right now.
Found the phenomenal Linda Ronstadt & Ann Savoy album Adieu False Heart https://www.guvera.com/search?q=album_id:+"015707980852" which I bought on CD after it came out. There's also a large Linda best of Capital collection if you need any.
I just downloaded 4 , count 'em FOUR!!!!, Pink Floyd albums without paying a cent. TAKE THAT PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!
Going back to age 10, I probably bought each prime Roger Waters era Pink Floyd album about 4 -5 times (from Meddle to Final Cut plus Pipers), because your greedy marketing machine kept reissuing them with new upgrades. Well.... I skipped the last upgrade or two, and now I'm getting them free. I just hope this EMI sale lasts so I can download the whole collection for free.
FrogK,
The first stuff I downloaded from Guv before getting completely turned off by the interface was all the early floyd stuff I didn't already have a physical copy of:
Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds (1996 Digital Remaster)
Pink Floyd - Animals (1992 Digital Remaster)
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets (1992 Digital Remaster)
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (1994 Digital Remaster)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1992 Digital Remaster)
Pink Floyd - Meddle (1992 Digital Remaster)
"Wish You Were Here" was there as late as 8/13/2010 (that's when I downloaded the final track from that album - apparently I started downloading tracks from that album in early May and gave up on Guv shortly thereafter as a source for legal tunage)
If you're getting tired of Blue Note, Capitol produced some decent Jazz every now and then. Guvera does have Serge Chaloff's Blue Serge, an LA pick-up session with Leroy Vinegar, Sonny Clark, and Philly Joe Jones, and Stan Kenton's Cuban Fire!, some Latin-flavored Cool Jazz that avoids the over-orchestration of much of Kenton's work (though it is still big and orchestral).
Yesterday, I picked up Dark Side, Animals, Final Cut & Meddle.
I picked up Ummagmumma, Atom Mother Heart, and Relics today. With a Geico freebie also in my account, it was perfect amount of tracks.
I have noticed that tracks are disappearing, as are some of the most popular albums by certain artists. I wonder if they are just being suppressed for this promo. I was looking for Roxy Music Siren, but it's not here although their first 4 albums are.

I would think For Your Pleasure, Country Life, and Avalon would always be more popular. (BTW, it seems that AllMusic recently upgraded its rating of Siren.)
I've been loading up on Pink Floyd myself. Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, the second disc of Ummagumma (I got the first from Guvera a while back), the 30th Anniversary edition of DSOTM, and the tracks from the reissue of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn that are on there (though that one seems to be missing quite a few tracks).
While I appreciate downloading Pink Floyd, if you didn't already have these albums, you might not have been alive in the 70's. For me, on vinyl, cassette, then CD. I have several permutations of DSotM, in fact. Atom Heart Mother remains my favorite, for reasons I either cannot explain, or I do not really remember any more.
Has anyone tried downloading any Wings and/or Paul Mc? It's crazy. A song from one album (say, Uncle Albert from Wings Greatest) does not qualify for this promotion, while Uncle Albert from Ram does. It took me an hour to compile a facsimile of Wings Greatest, cobbling together tracks from various sources.

Where the fuck is Wish You Were Here?
Greedily hoarding your best album, I see.....

That's an awesome find. Love the backing musicians: Dirk Powell, Sam Bush, Andrea Zonn, les Ramblers de Baton Rouge.
