how to distribute soitac?

cesarsalad · October 15, 2007, 05:33:08 PM

after ozma's Samuel show last thursday in which they played lorraine, iceland, and rain of the golden gorilla, a few people i know in person and some online ppl have been wondering where to get the songs from trucks and cars. is there a torrent for this album anywhere? is it legal for us to distribute or is there any way to obtain the album otherwise?? (i have it in mp3 format, but i got it so long ago i don't remember where)

VanSlegr Fan · October 15, 2007, 06:14:15 PM

i have it, but i have half the So*Inaudible*TAC and Audible. I'd rather have the Audible one, but i don't know how to tell the difference, all the ones i find on Soulseek are jumbled up and mislabeled, so i dont know if i'm getting the remastered mp3.com version at all.

Whats yr AIM sn and i'll message you with the mp3's

cesarsalad · October 15, 2007, 06:27:39 PM

no, i have it, i just want to give it to a lot of people. i'm pretty sure i have the remastered version too, i'll send it to YOU. hah

Not Jason · October 15, 2007, 06:32:38 PM

remastered version what?

there are two versions of the album. I have real hardcopy versions of both.

Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars
Songs of Audible Trucks and Cars

Audible has one extra track, the demo version of Bootymaster. Also, my copy of Audible sounds a little better than my copy of Inaudible. If you have a version you think is remastered, you might just have a better quality rip. To my knowledge, which is pretty thorough, nobody has ever remastered this record.

I didn't think so - I thought mp3.com just distributed it themselves. I have the Audible version, with the extra track, but it's labeled as (In)Audible for some reason. Can I send this to people? Where can anyone get hard copies anymore?

I still want to buy that from you Jason, although I feel it might take away from the awesome story behind getting it... or was that ocho?

Dude, when Jason wants to sell Ocho it's MINE. Don't fucking think about it. I will outbid the shit out of you.

We should just both throw down. Winner takes all.

Wait, don't you have a sword and really hot underwear? The fight wouldn't be fair. All Sam's got is a big chin.

noonchild · October 15, 2007, 08:01:51 PM

The underwear has lost its power, now that the stretch marks have assumed full form.

i remember reading that Audible was remastered and put on mp3.com. Maybe i am wrong, but i'm sure i read it and that's why the name was change from Inaudible to Audible.

QuoteWhere can anyone get hard copies anymore?

if you want the mp3s from Audible, it seems.

Oatmeal · October 15, 2007, 09:57:40 PM

Thanks for that convent folder. +1 Also for those who don't know. The ozma respiratory is still alive and has tons of songs. You can find it on the top of the subjects on ozma general discussion's.

Ãâ€ÃÂ¶ÃÂµÃ‘ÂÃ‘ÂÃÂ¸ · October 15, 2007, 10:04:47 PM

I thank you as well

Not Jason · October 16, 2007, 04:25:26 AM

I think Ozma is generally alright with the circulation of that material which is not commercially available. They have always been pretty cool about fans taping shows and what have you. There used to be controversy over the Cuatro and Ocho material (Cuatro has never surfaced as far as I'm aware), but I think that's died down ever since it finally got out there. The rational was that they didn't want people hearing really old crappy material and judging the band by it. If you've ever heard that material, you'd understand why. But as far as SOITAC goes, almost nobody owns it, but it's got a lot of fan favorites on it, so I don't have any reason to suspect they are up in arms about that stuff.

For the hell of it, I've uploaded my old cover art gallery, which I made a few years ago to show some of the cover art to the more obscure releases that not everyone has.

Jason, thanks for the art, also can't say i thought i'd ever find the art, thanks!!!

ps Jason, you never answered my question "Do you know were Hartland, ME, is?"

VanSlegr Fan · October 16, 2007, 08:40:10 PM

Jason - on the interior notes for Inaudible, it says "produced by Ozma [with Rod Cervera on Lorraine/ Los Angeles]" does that mean he produced or played on those tracks?

and do we know what the date is for the live Shooting Stars/Baseball?

Produced, I assume. So THAT'S why they're the only ones with decent sound!

Not Jason · October 17, 2007, 04:02:30 AM

One of the very few Ozma releases I don't own is the cassette single of Lorraine, which, if I'm not mistaken, had Los Angeles as the B-side. SOITAC simply re-released those same versions, which were recorded in a studio. That is why those two are the exception, because they had help on production.

I do not know the date for those two live recordings.

Also of note: though she is pictured on the inside of Audible, I do not think Star performed on any of these songs (I think the recordings predated her being in the band), and she is not pictured or credited at all on Inaudible.

I've always found that "If My Amp Had Wheels" was next to inaudible, no pun intended. I usually skip it, or have to crank the volume WAY up to hear it.

Not Jason · October 17, 2007, 06:57:07 AM

If My Amp Had Wheels shouldn't be that much quieter than the rest of the album. If it is, that I'd speculate that you have it from a different rip or something. Before I owned the album, the version I had on my computer was made up of the various songs downloaded individually and compiled and retagged to form the album. I'm guessing that I'm not the only person who did that, and I'm sure there are probably versions of the album floating around online that people are downloading like that. There are some big fluctuations in levels though. The intro to Natalie Portman for example (the intro to the song, not the pointless intro track) is ridiculously low. The same holds true for the other demo and live versions. IMAHW should be fine though.

don't do it samuel. Even if you win, nc still won't send you anything. I'm still waiting on my contest prizes.

I got mine, after 9 months of begging.
