Well, I finally got the song recorded, using a pretty crude method, so the quality is pretty bad. I'm sorry. You may have to turn the volume up.

This song is only available on one of those 7" giveaways from Record Mirror I believe. Wasn't on the album or any of the B-sides.
But it's one of their finest.

I'll try in the future to get a decent setup. In the meantime, I just wanted to share this here.

I'll try to post the Raymonde album soon, unless someone has it already.

Amplified, with hiss intact.

Amplified with much less hiss, but it sounds off.

Get both and save the one you prefer. (personally, the hiss version sounds fuller to me)

I also have the original wav of the recording if anyone thinks they can clean it up better.

Raymonde will always be untouchable since the first time I heard "No-one can hold a candle to you".

Anyone who has their album, I'll pay for mp3s :P

I've gotten into (what I can find of) James Maker's music lately. Still trying desperately to find all of Babelogue.

He's got a new myspace page up at http://www.myspace.com/raymondemusic where he's supposed to be releasing demos of Raymonde songs soon.

Thanks again!
