The Smiths: The Complete Troy Tate Sessions

TREON239
A collection of tracks from the aborted Troy Tate sessions by The Smiths.

Notes:
Back in 2014 I uploaded The Troy Tate Sessions which was a two part collection of all the tracks available, gathered from various sources for the best audio quality. This is a collection of all the sources I have in my archive, unedited, unaltered and as they were when I downloaded them. Plus the Rehearsal Session (The Pablo Cuckoo Tape) recorded in May 1983 in order to give Troy Tate an idea of what he would be working with before going into the studio.

Jeff Buckley: Rarities From NYC *UPDATED 2025*

TREON006

"Rarities From NYC" is a collection of unreleased demo recordings and radio sessions from Jeff Buckley. I know very little about the original collection of song contained in a folder entitled "Rarities From NYC" that surfaced sometime around 2005. I can not find a tracklist or even confirm how many tracks were in the original file (I read somewhere there were at least fourteen). A post on the blogspot: "I Am Fuel, You Are Friends" shines a light on some of the tracks.

My collection contains as many of the original tracks as I could find, from multiple sources (I always try and get the highest possible quality/bitrate I can find) plus a few rarities and couple of bonus tracks.

Updated 11/06/25:
Part One: Tracks 01-09 newly remastered for 2025. Tracks 10-15 are as I downloaded them. Tracks 16-17 are from a new and improved source (these tracks are the same as the ones found here).
Part Two: Tracks 01-09 are the original unedited "Rarities From NYC" mp3 files. Tracks 10-12 are new remasters of early Demos, which I've newly added to this collection. Tracks 13-14 are rare radio sessions. Tracks 15-16 are the unedited versions of the tracks found in Part One.

Tracklist:
Part One
01 - When The Levee Breaks
02 - I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby (If We Wanted To Be) (Alt. Take)
03 - Forget Her (Alt. Take)
04 - All Flowers In Time (feat. Elizabeth Fraser)
05 - When My Love Comes Down
06 - Sky Blue Skin
07 - You & I (Guitar Version)
08 - Opened Once (Instrumental)
09 - River Of Dope
10 - Moodswing Whiskey
11 - Witches' Rave
12 - Your Flesh Is Nice
13 - Let's Bomb The Moonlight
14 - Peace Offering
15 - Thousand Fold

16 - I Woke Up In A Strange Place (WXRK 'Idiots Delight' Radio Session 17.12.95)
