New LIVE tracks!

Note: the limited-edition CD is SOLD OUT, and here are no plans (yet) to make another. It's such hard work!
31/10/05: End of voting for 'favourite tracks'. Production of the souvenir CD set begins.
23/10/05: Live stuff found! Greg dug out some mouldering tapes. Jamie polished them up. Not since Jools came up with his CDs has Dr Hindsight got so agitated. Some great stuff. This will take some time to work through.

29/08/05: Yo Yo revised (with original wind sounds at beginning)
27/07/05: all fifth and last album ('Motor Motor Motor') tracks revised

06/07/05: all third album ('Bullets through the barrier') tracks revised

28/06/05: all first album ('The Movies') tracks revised.

Dr Hindsight is reviewing the quality of the tracks in the archive, and for the moment is not adding new tracks (unless you have something to contribute). So, the quality of the tracks you may already have downloaded may improve in coming weeks. Keep your eye on the Quality number listed against those tracks. Lower means Better.

Revox serviced by Eastern Electronics. Well done Nigel!

Time has passed.

Record companies, agents, publishers, have come and gone. Master tapes have been locked away, fished out again, and found to be not much more than rubble. The Movies come from a time before CD. What is left?

The Movies website has received a number of requests for digital versions of their material. Not thousands, not enough to make it a money-spinning venture, but enough to make the effort of digging up what's left worthwhile as a public service.

This archive site presents Movies tracks from a limited range of sources. Others may have better versions, and perhaps in time we might inherit some of them. Meanwhile we have engaged the renowned archaeologist Dr Hindsight to restore what he can.

All material on this site is published by members of the band and copyright-holders. We assume no objection to the limited Internet publication of this material as an aid to research, free of charge. If there is a legally substantial objection to such publication of any of this material then it will be replaced by an explanatory note and removed from the site.

Happy trails
