443.0. "NME/Melody Makers Tapes" by KIRKTN::SPOTTER (Info Freako) Fri Jun 16 1989 15:43
Over the years I have collected a number of tapes which have been produced
by the NME and Melody Maker. I have listed them below but just wondered,
if anyone else has collected them and what they think of them, also there
are a lot that I have missed through the years so others might be able to
list some more ... NME did a full discography of the tapes/albums that they
had offered but I threw out that copy!

| Stuart, I have a few of the NME tapes, which I play mostly in the
car. Some great stuff on them, but some drivel too.
Anyway, for some reason unbeknown to me, I cut out the listing that
NME did a while back - it covers up to NME035 (The World At One).
Would you like a copy of this via internal mail?

Re -.2 "plus more"
From what I remember, "Plus More" are from Scotland. They just ended
up their American tour at Boston's Summer Fest on the Commons. I heard
they were wild back in the days when they used to play support for
Love and Money. (;-)).

| Anyone know anything about the NME video tape offer of a few years
back? I seem to recall that it contained some Smiths rarities (
something to do with Charming man?). Also had the Clash doing Rock
the Casbah?

| 443.9 | "rare creation" | SOURCE::ZAPPIA | I feel free | Sun Mar 22 1992 20:43 | 9 |

If you know a more appropriate place for this...
Yet another Creation sampler is included with an issue of Select
"rare creation". A live Ride track off their new album from a
Sweden radio/TV broadcast last summer, and other various Creation
artists. Memory isn't what is used to be!

I bought a copy of NME a few weeks ago at NEWBURY COMICS (they're a
CD/BOOK/POSTER/SHOE store w/ a relatively good selection of indi/alt
music).
I'd never read it before and picked it up only because of the "FREE
CASETTE" taped to the front of it. Got it in the car, took the tape off
of it and found a litttle message reading something to the affect
(effect?) that due to copyright blah blahs, the tape should not be
distributed outside the U.K. Being an honest fellow, I immediately
returned it to the store and called ASCAP & BMI to confiscate the
remainder of the copies on the shelf (yeah...right)
Anywho, the question is, how often does NME do these give aways? I'd
like to keep my eye out for them but I'm not even sure how often NME is
published (weekly? Monthly?).
In lieu of that, are the tapes available elsewhere?
One more thingy, it may have been me, but is this NME mag always filled
with such drivel? The record reviews were pretty good but some of the
articles were just plain silly (and maybe that was the objective.)

| 443.12 | The tapes are normally very good though. | CHEFS::CROSSA | Opel Manta for sale - Call 7830 2919 | Thu Jun 20 1996 16:34 | 17 |
| Have to be a little short here.......
The tapes pop up every few months or so and there seems no rigid dates
involved. I am surprised you have a cover mounted tape over there -
fair play to your dealer for getting the copies in!
The "style" of the articles does border on the inane/drivel depending
on newsworty articles (or not) at the time. Currently the NME are
getting over the Blur v Oasis nonsense that they helped build up.
The problem is they have only one other competitor in the weekly music rags
over here so sometimes they do not seem to try too hard at their job!
Stretch.
