Mind-Warp PaVilion : BitTorrent Tracker : Torrent details for .

DescriptionThe Savage Jaw Archives.The official SITA project in cooperation with Ziggy In Concert and Mind-Warp PaVilion.Towards the end of the 1990's affordable home computers, CD copiers and internet connections forever changed the way that many music collectors traded their recordings. It became so much easier to meet other collectors from round the universe without having to wait weeks for replies to letters, trades to be agreed and tapes to be copied, dispatched and delivered.

Contacts could be made quickly and copies could be sent out quickly too. Unfortunately, the mail was still rather tedious but it was all a big advance in the judgement of many of us.A grouping of traders would fall out at Ziggy In Concert forum and from there would get to love each other, arrange trades and mostly cause some fun whilst waiting for the post to arrive. (http://zic.proboards.com/ or http://www.angelfire.com/la2/zic/ for a short stroll down memory lane)Move the clock forward to 2004 by which time many of us had "super quick" 512kbps home "broadband" and had become intimate with BitTorrent which enabled us to get recordings sometimes in hours sooner than weeks. The focus for music collectors had moved once again. We were weeping out for a Torrent site which specialized in the artist whose music had brought us all together, namely David Bowie.Goodness only knows how much work went on behind the scenes but on April 1st 2004, Savage Jaw opened it's doors, inviting everyone in to connect the cloud and enjoy David Bowie "At The Atlantis". Not everybody saw this development as a right thing but the immense majority welcomed the situation and the recordings with spread arms. Throughout it's relatively short lifespan, Savage Jaw operated strictly to the motto "Where Quality Counts". Everything available through the place was the real best available to us. Sadly, Savage Jaw as a Bowie Torrent site closed it's doors around August 2005 but remaining a bequest of which those involved can be justifiably proud. Rather than forget about this legacy a fitting tribute was put together in the work of The Savage Jaw Archives.Vol. IV 1.Tokyo 2xCD - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo 4th June 1996 All Time Model 2xCD - Milton Keynes Bowl, UK 5th August 1990 Another Stage 2xCD - Scandinavium, Gothenburg 4th June 1978 / Falkoner Teatret, Copenhagen 31st May 1978 / Earl's Court, London 1st July 1978 Live At The Budokan 2xCD - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo 9th March 2004 Struggling For Reality 2xCD - Osaka Castle Hall, Japan 11th March 2004 To Make And Not Have 1xCD - Various live and unreleased studio recordings, various dates.
