old boards of canada recordings

its not that great, but if you're a fan of BoC.... you might have a good time listening to their early stuff. 'closes' was originally released on cassette only in 1992, then re-pressed as cd in 1997. 'a few old tunes' was released in 1996 on cassette only... so, good luck getting your hands on one of those.
some of the tracks sound like early versions of songs on their warp releases and some of them don't sound like BoC at all.

i've been looking for "closes" forever. I've never seen it, not even on file sharing networks, at least complete or real. Thank you so much! I came across your blog by accident while looking for album artwork. You're a gem!

Closes is a fake. Verified through the artists representatives.

Yes, it realy seams like closes is fake - the track leinghs just arent same as on http://bocpages.org/wiki/Closes_Vol._1

shure a few seconds are possible when capturing a tape but here you have differents of about three minutes on "Tends Towards". I think most tracks realy sound fake, too but may we will never know it for shure : )

It appears that the link for A Few Old Tunes: Volume 1 Side B is corrupt. If it's not too much trouble, could you create a new link for it? It would be very much appreciated.
