NE146 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey guys.. well I took a look and the basic problem is, I no longer have it on any of my computers. Now I still have it archived on a DVD somewhere, however the other problem is that "somewhere" is within a box within a storage facility (I recently moved from Seattle to Charlotte, NC and have yet to fully settle. So yeah, it looks like at this point I simply don't have the full album easily accessible But maybe someone else here does! Share it out! rapidshare.de is a good easy way to share it out or I also like http://www.4shared.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have the mp3s at home. I'll try and remember to upload them this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link: http://www.4shared.com/file/3414494/e2350e...er__garcia.html Enjoy Thanks LH However I'm pretty sure those sound pretty different (a lot nicer and clearer) from the vinyl rip originals I had posted above. Do you know if this is the original recordings or is it from the re-recorded later release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if this is the original recordings or is it from the re-recorded later release? That's interesting, from wikipeia. * When the Pac-Man Fever album was re-released on CD in 2001, Buckner and Garcia were not allowed access to their original recordings from 1982. The CD re-release instead contains modern sound-alike re-recordings of all their songs. * Furthermore, since they were unable to find a Mousetrap machine (or any of the home versions) to record game sounds from, the re-recording of the relevant track instead features sounds from real dogs, cats, and pigeons instead of game sounds.

Do you know if this is the original recordings or is it from the re-recorded later release? You know, I actually think I got these from you a while back, but I don't remember for sure I know I did not rip them from the LP that I own.

Kitsune Sniper Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Those MP3s are apparently from the original album, not the CD release. I found a site which said the owner had ripped the MP3s from his vinyl album, and Mousetrap sounds exactly the same as the one on the set you upped. Thanks for this, by the way.

JL Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Does this collection contain the original Pac-Man Fever? http://www.amazon.com/Like-Omigod-Culture-...TF8&s=music ( if above link does not work use this http://tinyurl.com/pjv57 ) I ripped it and have uploaded for analysis, http://rapidshare.de/files/33783057/PMfeve...Omigod.mp3.html Please confirm if this is the original.

I recommend this "Pop Culture Box" to all 80's fans. You can do better on the price by searching around. I got mine on upay (eBay) a few months ago for $55 + 5 shipping, it was brand new and sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLarry71 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks by the way for the upload. Great stuff. I had been searching everywhere for the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
* Alternative Reality * Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 GREAT thread !! I LOVE this album, and i am NOT afraid to admit that YES, i do still play this to date...on vinyl on a record player mind you! Seriously people, it's THE ONLY WAY to really enjoy this album! "Hyperspace" is my theme song. Love it love it love it! "Mousetrap" gets another vote from me as a winner that is often overlooked "Do the Donkey Kong" rocks, but i find it far too repeptitive as it nears the end. "Pac Man Fever" of course is a utter classic......it simply rules. The 12 inch version is awesome, as well as the intrumental. I play this a lot from time to time, and back in the 90's i used to play it for kids and they loved it too. The music sounds upbeat and "happy" so i think this is why it is somewhat "timeless" for some of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Am I the only one wishing they had made a followup album with 8-10 more games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiu Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 You're not the only one, no. You know, most of the games on the Pac-Man Fever album had sequels (with the exception of Mousetrap)... Still, while they did release more songs (an entire album, in fact, though it was only released on the pre-CNet MP3.com), they never made any new video game songs, just reworkings of Pac-Man Fever with different arrangements (instrumental, unplugged) and lyrics ("Pokemon Fever"?). Their second album, Now & Then, had songs about Pogs and other fads instead. I e-mailed Buckner some months back, and he did say that they were trying to get Now & Then into the iTunes store, but I haven't seen it there yet. Also, if you can find their Mr. T song, snap it up. (It was on their website for a brief time, but it's long gone now). It's definitely in the vein of the Pac-Man Fever songs, even if it isn't about video games. It even has gunfire sound effects and Jerry Buckner pretending to be Mr. T between verses, like Pac-Man Fever's sound effects. -DS- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Were there any song length differences between the original and re-release copies? I came across two sets of this in mp3 format. Each sounds different, so I suspect one is original and one is re-release, but they are also different in length for two of the songs. The Defender, one is 3:32 and the other is 4:02. Do the Donkey Kong, one is 3:16 and the other is 4:24. With the longer ones being from the re-release. Is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Crazy for it then and crazy for it now. I had a buddy find me the song off the internet and burn it to a CD for me and when he asked what other songs i wanted on the CD i said "none,just Pac-Man Fever". He looked at me very strangely and i just smiled and went on about my business,the CD is in my car right now and i listen to it almost everyday.

A site that some mp3's on it , in addition to something by R.Cade & The Video Victims. Wow! The latter appears to be a PMF ripoff though , but not shabby!
