Willie Dowling / The Grip / cat people

by **BGennard** » 24th Apr 08, 21:52

Hi i know this is a big ask, but can anyone help me track down any songs (Mp3 or cd/cdr) by the aforementioned artists.

All that i Have been able to find is a copy of The Grip Be Yourself Cd (excellent I mIght Add) and a copy of the cat People Ep which i purchased thru 369music

Said website metioned some semi officailly released cdr compilations that were released many moons ago, and the possbility of them being released dependeding upon inquiries, which i understand. Ive emailed the site a few times now, but never got a response so i deduce that they simply havent recieved enough enquiries, which is a bummer as i really want to hear these songs, and would rather my cash go to artist than bootlegers.

can anyone help me, have you got a spare copy of said cdr's, im willing to buy them, im not expecting anything for free!. Please send me a pm if you can help

Thanks

Help please

There were two official bootleg-cdrs released many moons ago, being the Honeycrack "PS - The Unreleased Demos" and Honeycrack "Live Minutes" albums. Are these the ones you mean?

Ive sent the emails, hopefully they'll make them available digitally or something as im dying to hear these. Ive had the Honeycrack ones for ages, it was the honeycrack stuff that got me interested in Willie Dowlings previous work.

That is a crazy low "press run" - I know they're not big or anything, but imagine if one turned up on eBay - wow!

Hopefully it gets re-released at some point. I'd like to own all Willie's stuff.

I managed to get a Cat People CD on ebay for dirt cheap just now... but it's only the EP and not this full album that apparently exists.

Just refound my Cat People EP. Got it in the last few years from somewhere online, can't quite remember where.

Surprised how much it sounds like Pornograffiti-era Extreme!
