Update: As those who have tried to download files from here has discovered, all Solidfiles links are dead, due to the demise of the company. So, now I have started to try to fix/replace the dead Solidfiles links, but there are a lot, so it will take some time. I have started with the Kinks files, since they have been featured here recently, as well as some of the files that have been specifically requested over the past couple months. If there are specific files you are interested in, let me know, and I'll try to get them uploaded sooner rather than later. I am trying out a couple of new services, not sure if they will work out or not. For the smaller files, less than 200mb (most of the mp3 links), I am using Upload.ee (based on a recommendation from Paul at Albums That Should Exist blog, who just went through having to replace all his Zippyshare links). It seems pretty easy to use and download from, so we'll see how that goes. For the larger files (FLAC and larger mp3s), I am trying Uloz.to Disk, and not sure how that will go. But let me know if you have any problems with either of these services for downloads, or even if they work well. I don't really trust that these will last either, as it seems any ot these free services just don't survive, and these are both based in eastern European countries, and not sure how stable they will be. And after going through, by this time, countless closures of these types of file storage operations, please be warned about not storing anything you don't have physical backups for on these 'cloud' services, whether it's photos, music, or whatever, they are just not safe there. Anyway, we'll see how this works out over the next couple months. I'll have some new shows soon. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

Many thanks for continuing to curate your collection (to our benefit). And the cloud? "There is no cloud. It's just someone else's computer."
Thanks so much for hanging in there. And thanks for all you do for all of us.
Maybe you could re-up the Jackson Browne Soundstage show (1976) when you have time? Thanks.
Kinks albums I listened to most often:
Lola vs Powerman
Muswell Hillbillies
One For The Road
Low Budget
and a compilation album called Golden Hour of The Kinks, with my favourite song Shangrila.
aking,
Done. New link for JB 1976 Soundstage Show. Thanks for Kinks input. All great stuff. I also had that Golden Hour compilation back in the day.

Flip City, Red Cow show Link now updated, along with some of the other Elvis posts.
Kraken works great... no stupid captcha no waiting for a couple hours in between dwl
Paul from the Albums That Should Exist blog here. You mentioned me in your write up. I'm wondering how Upload.ee and Uloz.to Disk are working out for you. Especially the latter. I'm using ImageMetz.de for big files, and they're not supposed to go dead, but every now and then some of the links will die for no apparent reason.
Hi Paul,
So far they are working out well. I haven't been uploading alot recently, or for very long. so not sure how things will work in the long run, but so far, so good. Upload.ee has been very good for the smaller files, and I like that you get updated download counts. Uloz.to was a bit trickier to figure out at first , and it doesn't give any download data, so not sure how much has been downloaded from there or if users are having any issues with it. But overall seems to be working so I'll stick with them for now. Thanks.
