UPDATE FEB 2011

***********************************
DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.

FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

Last: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

.

No pretention of completeness in mind, this blog sees the light with the idea of filling a good number of gaps here and there, where I notice that certain music that I particularly like is missing in other blogs. Therefore my intent is avoiding posting albums that are present elsewhere. Exceptions are: where I'm reported of dirty record scans, incomplete reissues often remixed and unfaithful to the originals, or when I can offer higher bitrate scans, or also when posting a title is necessary for the completeness of a thread or a discography.


Here you won't find links leading to downloads, whenever the "Link" is featured, the album is available, otherwise, it means "work in progress".... If you want an album, please write me a request in the comment section including your email address and where in the world you visit this blog from.

...and if you don't get an answer from me after a certain time, please write again - I'm sorry, but it's not rare that some emails get lost in outer space, unfortunately...

After seeing that certain people keep using some of my pictures (which are not first class, I admit it, but nevertheless were made originally by me) for their blogs, without mentioning me as the owner, I decided to apply a "watermark" on some of them.

Thanks for existing

MICHAEL CHAPMAN - Rainmaker; Fully qualified survivor; Window; Millstone grit; Pleasures of the street, etc etc



Coming (relatively) soon in the Folkoteque ;)
I will post the first four of this group and the live "Pleasures..."
MC is not my cup of tea, but if someone wants other titles of him, tell me and I'll post them.

  1. Hello Vanessa
    I have a couple of .rar files for which I cannot find the password. They are Michael Chapman's "Millstone Grit" and "Window" both of which I've failed to find elsewhere. Each .rar file-name ends with "@192 - by VANESSA" which leads me to wonder if they were originally downloaded from your blog (I can't remember where I downloaded them from). Any chance you could help me out with a password please?

  2. Hello Terry,

    yes, the files are mine, or better they come from me, but you didn't download them from my blog, infact you surely found them online after a research done through Google. I know exactly who among my visitors has this or that album from my collection.

    So, the PWs you need are these two:
    (xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx)

    Will you be so kind to write something nice on my blog in those comment sections, as you did for these PWs?

    Thank you, have fun

    The Countess

  4. I too confess to searching Michael Chapman "Millstone Grit" on 4shared.
    It relates back to your blog, now I have the file downloaded but No password :(
    Would really appreciate the help.

  5. Dear Anonymous friend, hello:-)
    Yes, of course you can have the PW for the Millstone Grit album, the only thing for you to do now is to send me your email address, otherwise I can't be of help to you :-)

    Cheers, Dame Vanessa

  6. Thank you so much for the PW to "Millstone Grit", it's a class album. And you are right about Firewater Dreams ;-) in fact, I like pretty much every song especially the little acoustic ditties "Champion" and oddly named "Wellington the Skellington" , his approach to guitar is inspiring.

    Also, sorry about bombarding you with emails, I didn't see my comment appear so assumed the old puter was playing up, and kept trying :-/ I now realise it needed approval, lol.
    Thanks again Dame Vanessa you are most kind :-)

    Liebe Komtesse Vanessa,
    da Du in Wien lebst sprichst Du doch sicherlich deutsch. Ist jedenfalls einfacher für mich so. Es freut mich sehr, dass ich doch noch eine Antwort bekommen habe. Ich habe mir vor einer ganzen Weile mal die Alben "Rainmaker" und "Fully Qualified Survivor" von Michael Chapman besorgt, und mich komplett in sie verliebt. Jetzt interessieren mich besonders "Millstone Grit" und "Window", wäre aber auch über jedes weitere Stückchen Musik von Michael glücklich. Die Alben sind ja leider ganz schwer zu bekommen.

    Also herzlichen Dank im voraus und liebe Grüße aus dem Wilden Süden (Stuttgart).
    Hochachtungsvoll (:-))

  10. Werteste Komtesse,
    you're German-English-Kauderwelsch is really nice, so i'll try to answer you in the same Way, maybe i'll find some words italiano, too. First of all i'd like to thank you very much for the posted albums...mille grazie. I will make a little Hörprobe, and if these albums will fix me as the others did, i'll ask you for the others if it isn't too much Umstände.
    I wish you a nice Aufenthalt in beautiful Berlin. :-)

    Best wishes, schönste Grüße and ciao,
    Diana
