�The Soundboard Archive - The Alarm�
(35 songs; none officially released)

For some time now, I have been making �The Soundboard Archive� compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.

This has been my methodology:

I. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my �SBD� flac/shn files for said artist. (DIME doesn't allow compilations like this.)

As of this writing, I've made compilations for the following, in chronological order:
01. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
02. Marvin Gaye
03. Alison Krauss & Union Station
04. The Fall
05. Blind Melon
06. Rush
07. Eddie Money
08. Bob Marley & The Wailers
09. 10cc
10. Alabama Shakes
11. 10,000 Maniacs
12. 311
13. Doc Watson
14. AC/DC
15. Adele
16. Adrian Belew
17. Radiohead
18. The Alarm

II. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the �best� version.

III. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue.

IV. Compile �the winners� into a �The Soundboard Archive� collection � after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released.

Enjoy! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items (to the best of my knowledge & as of this writing; asterisks denote BGE/Wolfgang�s Vault) -
