OK, I am taking a wild shot in the dark here, but what the hey this is an appropriate place to try, anyway:
As we know and I've oft seen lamented online, there is no catch-all collection with all the many and multivariously entertaining outtakes and non-album tracks of a certain Los Angeles band we love. I am an audio restoral person, and I've been going hard at trying to recreate the Sparks bootleg CD compilation "Rarities" in some sort of deluxe, all-inclusive form, but all lossless because the original CD is all lossy, i.e. mp3-sourced. Among these is the rarest of all Sparks cuts, the Jacques Tati tribute called "Mr. Hulot" from the extra-secret bonus CDR included in like the 1st 12 copies of Two Hands One Mouth. I am trying to find a lossless rip of that song and I'm asking if somehow anyone here has the original CD or 10" single that is now harder to find than Jesus himself. Dumb and unlikely as it may be I gotta ask.
The other song I'm missing is Hey Skinny from the 1999 "#1 in Heaven" CD single, but I think I can buy one on Discogs so that's at least possible, unlike Mr. Hulot is proving to be. But a huge thanks in advance if anyone can help me. And yes I have the "Bad Manners" soundtrack stuff, the Movie Music Sampler and A Cute Candidate, as well as all the Japanese bonus cuts from the Imperial SHMs, and can make a stellar collection mastered to perfection if I can find these last two trax.
