Request: Lonely Planet Boy and Jobriath

[HeeHee]

Anyone got these two albums?

I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who uploaded them.

Here you go:

[HeeHee]

I'd buy them but I don't like Amazon and I haven't found anywhere else that sells them.

 

[dallow_bg]

Even cheaper here:

There are TONS of sites, this isn't a rare CD.
Let me know if you need some more options.

 

[HeeHee]

Guess I need to work on my Googleing, got any sites that sell Jobriath, the album?

 

[Ringleader]

This compilation has been put together and released by Morrissey and is a prime example of Jobriath’s glam uniqueness, and ultimately his upbringing is reflected in every track.

His original two albums are only on vinyl and long out of print.
Best bet for those are the usual suspects:

www.ebay.com
www.gemm.com
www.musicstack.com

And erm, yeah, what Ringleader said.

 

[Ringleader]

He recorded one album (1969) with the progressive rock group Pidgeon. The record went nowhere and Jobriath split for a solo career in which released 2 albums.

I'd hardly call it "progressive rock".

I own the album, it's a good thing he split.
The best thing about it is the cover art which my ex-girlfriend hated.

What's wrong with the picture below?

I was talking about the Pidgeon album.

Here's the Pidgeon album cover:

Just kidding.
Here it is:

i don't know if you're aware of the jobriath fan collective, in case you're not: http://jobriath.org/

and since i don't want to be the one to give out the copyrighted "lonely planet boy", i do have a bootleg of a jobriath concert at the bottomline:

I wonder why people think badly of you.
You're one of the few people in here who has a picture under its name that isn't hurtful to the eyes.
Plus, you've provided us with two wonderful links. Thank you for that.

 

[peoplethinkbadlyofme]

you're welcome.

i think i'm gonna provide an interview with jobriath when he became cole berlin soon since it isn't available anywhere. in case you don't know, when jobriath was rejected by the music industry and the world he became cole berlin, a lounge singer and didn't record musik for commercial release because of lingering legal problems with elektra, the label that released the first two LPs and shelved the third one.

i have the interview in vob format so i'll convert it to avi, if that fails i'll put it up as is. it's just 5 minutes but there isn't much video footage of him anywhere so...

check back in a day or two.

You mean this video:

But hey, if you have a better quality version, by all means!

Thanks for the boot by the way, some of the extra tracks were Cole Berlin songs but I couldn't tell where the others came from.

 

[fang_file]

jobriath has a terrible singing voice

 

[peoplethinkbadlyofme]

@ dallow_bg

actually the interview i speak of is highlighted in that video at you tube you linked, eventually i'll post the interview i have at youtube also, but the quality will go down because of youtube's file conversion methods. the last two tracks you mentioned were actually from that interview.

if you don't know the history of jobriath's life, the interview will seem humorous. hopefully you see more. the video will go up soon.

 

[dallow_bg]

Thanks, I look forward to it.
The more Jobriath the better.

Do you happen to have the two Midnight Special songs?

 

[peoplethinkbadlyofme]

well i've done enough teasing so here it is:
http://www.megaupload.com/cn/?d=7XL4I3I3

it's just over 3 minutes long. any questions or requests, feel free to ask.

the two midnight special songs are available at the jobriath fan collective, it's under the left navigation just below the "mp3z" heading is the "live" heading with some goodies. sashay on over and take a peek.
