Cardiacs and Related Trades


Trades only, please; I am not prepared to sell any of these! Should any of these recordings become commercially available, they will be deleted from this list - any 'part-availables' are noted as such. As you can see, many of my trades are still on tape, but I'm willing to burn most things to CD. Apologies for the gaps in the information (particularly with regard to 'source'), but quite a few items have come in and not been categorised. If you're interested in any of these, please get in touch and I'll give further details; hopefully these gaps will be filled at a later date. There are a few items without tracklistings, which either means I don't have one and don't know the material, or I haven't as yet been able to trace the tapes; if I really can't find them I'll delete them. Oh, and all dates are in the UK system (ddmmyy), as is the spelling.

MP3s. Ah yes, those. A few items on this list are known to have been sourced from MP3s. Some people are more bothered about this than others, so I've made it perfectly clear on each entry by adding the annotation 'MP3' at the end of the 'source'.

In all cases, any extra information is available on request.

'Format' codes (that aren't completely self-explanatory)

Timings are in minutes, usually rounded up/down to the nearest five, rather than '2xC90', etc., although I'll supply that information if it makes things easier. I prefer to copy CDs direct, so items are listed as 'CD'/'2CD' etc. In the tracklistings, the division between discs is marked by '//'.

Ratings. Ah, that thorny problem again... OK, here's my (rough) ratings system:
