Back in 2002, a dedicated group of fans on the trailer-park-digest mailing list created this 2-disc compilation of quality radio & TV appearances, I traded for my copy about 3 years ago. The back cover carries this statement: "Never For Sale. Share The Legacy." Well I think putting this great collection here helps accomplish that. Thanks go to the people who assembled this in the first place.

I was able to determine the specific date for the David Letterman appearance and other additional info but could not find more specific dates for either the Mercury Music Prize or Jools Holland. Three tracks have been officially released and thus have been removed. Artwork is included.
Buy her albums, share this freely, and enjoy some of the best of Beth!

Thanks for posting this. Nice introduction to her music.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Dave.
Very cool. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, that doesn't work, too bad. No change to use something like zippy?
ReplyDeleteIts over 200mb, that why no Zippy.
DeleteDownloaded the rar yesterday. It contained a nice bunch of Beth Orton from 1997-2012, but it's not the Brilliant Bits collection.
ReplyDeleteDitto. At least if the attendant cover art is correct.
DeleteCould you figure out the "correct" track sequence, Anonymous?
Thanks but the songs on download do not match track listing
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for this Silent Way! Fascinating conglomeration of Beth stuff! Bit chaotic in its structure and content but then aren't we all!? Fanxt! Way to start the New Year . . . . .will do the usual!
ReplyDeleteThis is wacocrimatty /"Frank"--and by way of explanation, this may be my collection of stuff that I ripped from any internet source I could find, when I was going through a bit of Beth binge. I did not post a "track listing" nor compose my own cover art. Brilliant Bits is another collection that is around somewhere. Her studio stuff is incredible.
ReplyDeleteNow, download or don't.
@wacocrimatty...the one thing I didn't update was your name. My apologies S.S.
DeleteNo that is cool. Just don't call me late to a beer.
