ClockDVA - Thirst
Did somebody mention Clock DVA? Thirst has appeared twice before here, but never in 24/96000 quality. I began cleaning up my original UK pressing on Fetish late last year with a view to a post just after Christmas. Various issues got in the way, but save for a tiny bit or two of indiscriminate light crackle, this is as good as it gets.
Is this a masterpiece? Yes it is! Is it the finest deleted album never to even get a hint of a proper reissue in all these years? Oh yes indeed!

Ripped from vinyl album released on Fetish Records (FR 2002) in 1981 to high resolution 24-bit FLAC audio.
A1 Uncertain
A2 Sensorium
A3 White Cell

A5 Blue Tone

B2 4 Hours
B3 Moments
B4 Impressions Of African Winter

    ClockDVA releases of any kind were not easy to come by in the U.S. but I was lucky enough to find this on CD back in the early '90s. Naturally, this sounds far better. Thank you sincerely for sharing all your hard work with us.

    Due to personal reasons, it has been a long time since I came to visit your G O R G E O U S blog.. I stiil can remember the real joy when I discovered here 'Picture On My Mind' by Joy Division... unfortunately, lately I missed several links, now not accessible anymore..I do know you wrote down that you can't re-upload links but I want to give my self a chance asking for it..
    My request is not only to you but to all the FOLLOWERS of your blog that will be able to satisfy my simple wish list; I'm interested in:

    NEW ORDER - GRIEVING IN THE SHADOW (At Maxwells)
    CLOCK DVA - Early Releases (especially the ones on TAPE)

    Of course there would be a lot more but I don't want to be too demanding...
    Hoping not being a pain in the ass :) my wish is you keeping on posting obscure forgotten releases

    My mail on request.

    bibit, from Italy.

    A masterpiece indeed. I have the 1992 reissue on Cargo Records, but am deeply grateful for your work in restoring this album. I still get chills from "4 Hours".
