Thanks, Recordoryx. I follow that, but I didn’t know this user has 2 profiles. I remembered only "ottertrack" nick. I thought he might have deleted the request.

You're busy, I reckon? It's okay, don't worry about it. That last unidentified song from your tape is hugely beloved in the community; sadly, it is the one song that's proven most difficult to find. Do you still have the Discord program on your device? If you still use it, we can add you to a server where a search for the song is underway. It's not required, of course.

Not sure if it's on the same tape and it might be a while until I can check. It's not very relevant anyway, since I often switched songs from one tape to another as a way of editing.

Thanks, ottertrack! Good to see you're back and doing well. A community member mentioned that Triad Radio was likely to have played "Rare Bird" (the song that follows the Tavern one). Still, we've already contacted the archivist of the station, who didn't think that was the case. Even though "The Fishes" is already on WatZatSong, I think you should give it a shot at reposting it since you are the original uploader. I have to ask, though: Is "The Fishes" on the same tape as "The Livin' & The Dyin'" by Jim Dawson?

LoveHarbor8 - yes, it was likely recorded off the same stations in the same era.
Recordoryx - no, what's Triad Radio?
Thanks to you both.

Otter, if you're still here - have you ever listened to Triad Radio in the past?

Hey, Ottertrack! I have some bad news regarding one of the songs from your tape. I believe the community has already pinged you on this matter on the Discord server, but if you're not aware (and we apologize), we have wrongly credited one of the songs, which you labeled as "The Fishes," to Keith James. It is not "Take Me Home" by Keith James, unfortunately.
If you're interested in hearing the actual song by Keith James, it is on the Discord server. Regarding your unidentified track, however, was it also recorded off WXRT-FM or WBBM-FM in the '70s?
If you're unsure about which song I am referring to, it is this one: https://vocaroo.com/1c0A57WfVDaL

Also haven't found Alan Dobb's Watkin’s Man or Leaving Idaho audio files. But great to at least know what the songs are.

Ya, saw that. Those other 10 were sure solved quickly. (I still haven't been able to find audio files for Henry Gross/Fly Away and
Free Hot Lunch/Bird of Paradise online.)

"every official song he used is found i guess, left with some soundtracks, that i still think is from old newgrounds...(maybe?)
Luci1925Tue, 30 Apr 2024 10:49
Perhaps, I've tried NG a little bit before too, the game page for act 6 has a few songs listed but they didn't match last I checked, ultimatum also has a credits section dedicated to the music in the series, I dug through it best I could. I found most songs on that list but still no luck
OptibindsTue, 30 Apr 2024 00:48
i contacted Chris adam (Sift heads maker) on discord about a year ago about this exact track and left with no response, people is his discord also stated that allot of old tracks he used are lost, most probable that he uses tracks from NewGrounds so we could start from there
