As you may know, we have all been enjoying samdj's recent youtube uploads of his boccy cassettes, bought from Mike Paradinas, but now after a short period of time, Old Tunes Vol. 2 has been uploaded to the Internet Archive by the man himself!!

https://archive.org/details/old-tunes-vol.-2-b
There are two files, one for Side A, and one for Side B. No doubt people will be busy cutting em up and tagging them already lol, but if you wish your Old Tunes unblemished, this upload has it.

Of course, much gratitude goes to samadj himself for being patient with all aspects of the BoC community he has communicated with, up to and including sharing these files. Hopefully this should bring the fanbase some pleasure and stimulation in these sick times, where Boards themselves are scarce, and their absence could be compared to a tumbleweed blowing in the wind. I hope they return very soon.

Enjoy!
(the new rip of A Few Old Tunes should also be on it's way in similar quality. If archive.org isn't your thing, Techboy also has you covered as this new rip, and others, will be put on rareboc.org soon)

Now up on rareboc.org!

I have no words other than thank you!

You can faintly hear a vocal sample at the beginning of Jimbo Rehearsing that you couldn't hear before with the noise suppression.

Sam,

Thank you. Seriously. I do not post here often but the work you've done to rip your tapes and get them to us has brought me immeasurable joy, I have put both Old Tunes 1/2 and Boc Maxima on and listened to them all start to finish for the first time in I genuinely don't know how long, and the extra detail and quality has made them all a fresh experience. You've gotten me through many shifts at work with them and I'm very grateful. Thank you for your efforts and for doing this!

Thank you!

Zoinks! This is awesome! Thank you!

2026 just got a thousand times better
David Came to Mahana'im, BMX Track and Buckie HIgh are so delicious now
Thank you Sam

Awesome, can't wait to walk around on my lunchbreak and listen to this.

the name Sam will ring through the halls of legends for all time

Thanks Sam.

And thanks babylulu for "some old tunes" the CD copies

This is really really great.

Freaking the fuck out!! This made my year, my decade, my century—
hell YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BMX Track no longer squashed by the weight of 10 pillows. I'm at loss for words.

Samadj, you're a legend.

Wonderful, thank you Sam!!!

Yes. Also, and I should probably listen to the old compressed files or to Sam's YouTube share again before commenting, I wanted to discuss the faint, mostly buried lead-ins to tracks that are audible in many of the gaps between songs. They definitely feel like imperfect overdubs that were intentionally or unintentionally staggered one or two seconds ahead of the lovely clear and full sounds that we now have Mike P.and Sam Amdj to thank for. THANK you! It's not everywhere but you should hear it easily with headphones and some volume. Again, it might always have been noticeable... I rather like to hear it at the lead of those tracks rather than the end of the preceding tracks, but I'll bet that's a minority opinion. Anyway, that's how I chopped the FLAC into tracks and I don't really want to correct it now, haha!

boqurant was better before. can't believe someone spent five grand on a mass hallucination. can't blame this band for fucking off.

This is "tape bleed" or "print-through"... where bits of the tape imprint back on itself as it's wound into the cassette.

Ok, that explains it, thanks! This pic also explains when/where I'm hearing what I'm hearing...:

You're the man, Sam.

With these new rips, though, it calls into question the true running time of OTV2. I only noticed this because I still live in 2003 and burn CDs. I drive a relic from the early aughts. The total running time for the Prince Murat leak is 78:58. This shiny new one lovingly split by sdoww is 81:19 and, thus, doesn't fit on an audio disc.

It never ends with those Sandison boys, now, does it?!
