| the marion archives - audio archive|

The aim here is to give a home to some unreleased recordings that the band made, basically comprising live stuff, session recordings, acoustic sessions and the demos Jaime recorded with Wayne Ward in 2000. Due to webspace restrictions, I'll only upload a handful of tracks each month, but I'll keep a list of previous postings below, to allow requests to be made. I don't, however, plan to upload anything the band actually released, so I won't be sticking any b-sides or album tracks up, so please don't request them.

Most of the material was donated by Lee. A list of all he has available is here, so feel free to contact him for trading. Also, all files presented here are 192 kbps mp3's so, though there are of decent quality, they are compressed, and all feature the small sections of silence that are included at either end of the file. For better quality versions, Lee's your man.
