A Word About The Quality Of My Sound Files
I make no apology for the sound files not being as perfect as they might be, especially those converted from vinyl. I do not possess the technical know-how to reduce unwanted noise, hiss, etc. I certainly have the software (e.g. Gold Wave) but not the knowledge about what settings to use. If anyone can point me in the right direction, please feel free to enlighten me.

MADCATS - 10 LIVES NOT 9
The Madcats were a strange group. Hailing from Canada, they produced two hard rock albums that are both worth checking out. Whilst every song could be called hard rock, the diversity was so great that no two songs sounded the same. Coupled with the fact that they had two lead singers, I personally think that the lack of an identifiable Madcats "sound" was their downfall.
The first album has a curious feature, and I'm not talking about the special gold vinyl issue! Some editions included the track "Partners In Love", whilst others did not. I used to think that maybe it was a transfer fault, i.e. that some doylum at the record plant got mixed up with that and the similarly titled "Prisoner Of Your Love" track, but apparently not. Even when the album got its CD release at long last, it was absent, so who knows?
Anyway, for anyone whose copy contained only 9 tracks, here is your chance to have the rare addition.
