Fawn's song "Paper Trails" is classic. FYI, I can attest to Mark's
CDR transferring skills.

Fawn's song "Paper Trails" is classic. There are also some singles and
he was lead singer for Battersea (never seen or heard any recordings).
FYI, I can attest to Mark's CDR transferring skills - my Charlie Fawn
collection is all from him.
I myself have done CDR transfers, some with mixed results. One I did
specically for Mark - Fingerprintz's "Beat Noir" - turned out horribly
due to the boomy mix of the version I have (US vs. Canada or UK). I
haven't done much lately though I began sorting LP's for another run.
Two LP's I've had no luck finding:
The Dazzlers - Feeling Free
The Argyles - Picture in my Pocket
This is a great thread. We should make a list of all audities-style
recordings that haven't been reissued on cd, along with a sub-list
of unique 45/EP recordings of note.

NP: Quick - Mondo Deco -- mp3's via a trade, my attempts to find
this by other means failed (except for $50+ via dealers)
