EXHAUSTED (update)

If you read RS exhausted, it means PPC public trafic (30GB) has reached its limit for the day being. The links are NOT DEAD

So, you won't be able to get anything via all the RS links. This is the reason why, i'm gonna try for a while some new hosts (ZS, PL or another) for the new posts and see how things get going. If nobody is satisfied, this will be the end of  PPC.

NEWS

RS has uncapped the download speed for non premium users. So from now on,  the links will be available only on RS.
Grab all what you want to while it's gonna last 'cause a new traffic model will go into full effect on November 27.

The new model will restrict the outgoing traffic of free users to just 1 gigabyte per day while paid users will be able to share no more than 30 gigabyte per day. No transfer limits will be imposed on files that are shared with selected groups or contacts, as these files are not available to the public. 

JONA LEWIE - OPTISMISTIC (1993)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Optimistic" was only released in France on the indie french New Rose record label. so basically, the CD is quite rare (outside of France, i guess) since it didn't sell and the record label was down the following year.
"Hallelujah Europa" is called "Hallelujah" on the back cover but the booklet indicates the correct title.
