For all you Fantasy nerds out there

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I found this by accident while looking for a Don Patterson single. Haven't looked at it properly, but it appears to be a complete catalogue of everything available on Fantasy's labels just before the Concord acquisition.

http://bradleyolson.bravehost.com/2004%20catalog%20.txt

Don't try to play with this on line; the site is as slow as arseholes. Just save it to your hard drive - it's a 1.5mb TEXT file. It includes all the personnel details that Fantasy used to include in their catalogue.

The beauty of having this is that you can enter a search term such as "Lonnie Smith" and find all the albums on which Lonnie appeared that were in the catalogue. You couldn't do this on the Fantasy site and you still can't on Concord.

A bit of exploration will help you create a new list of stuff you didn't know you wanted. (Evil bugger, aren't I?)

Anyway, mucho props to Bradley Olson, whoever he is/was.

Thanks, I'm been wishing I had something like this.

I wonder if the title of this thread 'Fantasy nerds..' will attract a whole army of nerdish Googlers?

Many thanks.

I have the PDF file of the 2004 catalogue, which looks like the printed catalogue, with cover pictures etc.

It's 25MB (zipped), so I can't email it, but I could upload it if I find a site that accepts it.

Indeed.

OK, I'll do it tomorrow.

BTW, this is the page where the catalogue was available, but the download doesn't seem to work in the Internet Archive:

The beauty of a text file, for me, is the ease of hoicking a bit of text out into my endless list of stuff to buy. I never find that easy with pdf material. So I'll pass on the download.

The PDF catalogue (24MB zip file) can be downloaded here:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rx9l3a (the file link is below the Google ads)

The link should be valid for 14 days at least.
