Here's the second (of three) volumes that collects (almost) all of the singles, b-sides and rarities from 80s pop group Voice Of The Beehive. This one covers their recorded output from 1991 to 1996. See below for a tracklisting at a glance, a video player where you can sample any of the tracks in question and below that more detailed notes about each one. For my post about the first volume, which covers the years 1987-1989 click here, and the third volume, covering demos, live tracks and remixes, click here.

ReplyDeleteI really like this site, it's so important to know more about this topic, keep it up and of course every time I have time I'll love to check out again
ReplyDeletePlease Please Re-up this won't work for me! The other 2 do though. Thank You Thank You. Also one missing rarity - Early version of 'Beat Of Love' from a London records comp called 'Giant'. But Please Re-up
ReplyDeleteThe link works OK for me (March 2022), but mediafire denies it if you are using the wrong VPN or cookie settings.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the OP. Btw, track 20 (So Hard) is missing from the zip/archive. Is it about the same as the album version?
Here's a present fom me: A radio-session version of 'Moon of Dust' from a radio session at BBC (London/GLR) in (?1994)(It was several months before Sex and Misery came out). Thought I had 'So Hard' from the same session, but can't find it. Analog tape recording from a FM broadcast. 5MB mp3.
