Firstcom is notorious for being one of the worst labels for discontinuing their albums, leaving many to end up being forever lost media. In the hope of preventing that, I am attempting to put together all discontinued CDs possible in one single source; lossless if possible, or high quality mp3 if no other option. It doesn't matter if the rip/copy of files is yours or not, the goal is to just get A COPY.

I am asking the community's help to hopefully make this a reality. Thanks to some select members here already, a huge amount has already been or tentatively secured, but there's still a long way to go. I am working on making what is collected available, but the task to properly tag everything with metadata is going to be ungodly long for a single person.

PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THIS TO ANYONE YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT COULD HAVE COPIES OR KNOW PEOPLE/LOCATIONS THAT MIGHT

FC-A104 - No Limits (I've released this album before. You can download it.)

librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=9827.msg66530#msg66530




The following albums were released by FirstCom in collaboration with "The Music Library".

They have the same title and album number.

Which means that if you can get a copy of The Music Library's release, you're good to go.

And most of these are on Retro Matic's website, so you can contact him.




FC-A109 - The Winning Team

FC-A76 - The R&B Album

FC-D9 - Dramatic Atmospheres 1

FC-D17 - Tones and Textures

FC-D22 - Dramatic Rhythms

FC-D33 - Caring

FC-E17 - Atmospheric Journeys

FC-E19 - Ocean Song

FC-S16 - The Blues Album

FC-S49 - The Comedy Album

FC-S55 - The String Quartet Album

FC-U32 - Rhythms, Grooves & Riffs

FC-U58 - Pastimes

FC-U76 - Seasons - Spring - Summer

FC-U97 - New Grooves



And these albums, which a friend of mine in China once released, you can find them.


FC-U6 - Bright Sun

In reality, "Retro Matic" has moved on from LTM.
He's now focused on his own website, selling CDs and seeking sponsorships.

I haven't been in touch with him for quite some time. He seems very busy lately, and as far as I know, others haven't been able to reach him either.

However, LTM shows that he logged in as recently as January 2nd this year.

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't noticed that. Thanks for letting me know, Chun. :D

Ok. Hopefully this will be appreciated. I realize these are 320 MP3 files but this was on the list of discontinued Firstcom CD,

Firstcom 517B - 2001 CHILDS PLAY

https://www.idrive.com/idrive/sh/sh?k=b0d9a5s3g5



That's the best available as of the present time. If someone has a better copy by all means. I'm only saying appreciate, because we had a gentleman awhile back, who complained that my uoloads weren't in FLAC. I know that's only a very small percentage of people complain , but this guy took it to the exreme. You are no entitled to anything library related unless you own the copyrights or paid for a copy. Sorry just frustrated with life and was thinking of how many people have mistaken my kindness for weakness as of late.
Thanks as always,

Daryl in Maryland

That's actually the reissue which is still available on UPM's site (S17B). The original S17 is the one we don't have. Thanks for trying though.
