    Track list? I have a huge-ass .rar of a bunch collected together, like 7 hrs worth, but no clue if it's a defined "collection" or volume or anything.

    The one I upped in real headz way back had 143 tracks in it I believe.

    I also dropped the Motown instrumentals/backing tracks which had 144 in it if I remember correctly.


    FYI - Salsoul Acapellas

    Absolutely. I'll get 'em up later today.

    I think these are taken from a karaoke collection by a company called Singing Machine... they put out their backing tracks and acapellas, except they were able to use the original source material in both cases, instead of a watered-down whatever.

    And yes, 18 volumes. They are freaking great.

    Is this what all those 12" boots are based off of?? I've always been curious about those but never heard, they're actually legit from the sources not filtered out by some kid on his PC?
  • FmGTFmGT 13 Posts
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a legit collection put together for the karaoke.

    it was all of the motown masters. It was the vocals in one channel and instr in the other. You could just pan them and then have either one.

    The 12 inches, while having a bootleg curiosity to them, are actually pretty good. I only have two volumes, but the vinyl is pretty solid and the sound quality is good. I have those michael jackson acapellas from a few years back and they are all phased out fake acapellas and the vinyl is pretty doo doo in the sense that it will jump because the grooves are really thin.

    Going along with what Phill said, it gives you a new appreciation for these songs when you just hear the vocals. It puts a new spin on some of them when the backing vocals are gone. A lot of the times the chorus or hook will be gone because those were overdubbed on a seperate track, so it kind of makes it a new song when the famous hook is gone.

    Wow I just gave a few of these a listen and I'm pretty amazed. Hearing all the detail and rawness of the vocals is really beautiful. Hearing the harmony of the temptations...man this is nice...

    download Utorrent. [http://www.utorrent.com/] Then you can DL torrent files from anywhere, drag and drop 'em into Utorrent, and it'll download them in folders for you, tagged and everything. That should see you right.

    I've tried a few different torrent apps out and I'd say without doubt utorrent is the best. Most features, great speeds, allows you to chose what individual files to download within the torrent. Also the program weighs in at under 1mb...

    Yeah, UTorrent is the best, because of its small, unintrusive size, easy-to-use functions, and the ability to manage a shitload of torrents at once. Rock that, and the world is yr oyster.
