TRIBUTE TO PAUL McCARTNEY - SOLO YEARS BENEFIT (2000)
Originally posted in 2007, i've revamped some things. The document remains unedited and complete as it was first posted, but all the banter elements have been separated from the musical parts. I've also slightly changed the artwork and the concert is now available in both lossy and lossless formats.

Lossless: ZS1 + ZS2 + ZS3 + ZS4 + ZS5 (Total size: 860 mb)
Lossy: ZS1 + ZS2 + ZS3 (Total size: 385 mb)

NB: ZS allows parallel downloads - links are independent

PIPER - PIPER ('76) - CAN'T WAIT ('77) [CD Reissue 2008]
Scarce CD reissue of the two Piper LP's

Boston-based Piper was a tuneful quintet whose two albums - compiled here on one CD - balanced power-pop smarts and hard-rocking swagger, sometimes with quite memorable results (The discs were previously only briefly available more than 15 years ago as pricey Japanese imports).

Billy Squier wrote a great song when he was in the Sidewinders, a song that didn't make it to their Lenny Kaye-produced RCA album but is here in all its glory. "Telephone Relation" is an exquisite pop tune, overshadowed only by the even poppier "Who's Your Boyfriend."

MEET THE BEATLESQUE (2007, Reissue 2015)
Just like i did with the Brianwilsonesque compilation, i've decided to totally revamp this collection originally available in mp3 format only. This time, only lossless files have been used and the compilation is now available in both formats mp3 (lame 3.99) and FLAC. The artwork has also been slightly changed (PPC logo has replaced the old PPL logo), and finally i've added the inner sleeve detailing all the infos about the bands involved.

Please read the original post here (16 May 2007)

In 2011, Beatlesque Again was posted here, i sincerely hope i'll be able to complete  a third volume soon.
