Apparently, I need to put a disclaimer here. I decided to after some of these recordings turned up for sale on eBay. These are for your own personal enjoyment! Don't sell them! Feel free, however, to distribute them all you want. Also, I would appreciate if other sites wouldn't leech the files. If you want to put links to them, link to this page, not the actual files. Thanks.

UPDATED TORRENT FILE. Download the new torrent file and grab all the files (you might need to do a right-click save-as to grab the torrent). This current file replaces the old torrent and contains the songs I added 1/15/11. Grab these files and help seed the torrent! It’s a much easier way to download all these songs.

CHANGES/ADDITIONS

Jan 15, 2011 - NEW LIVE ELF!! See the very bottom for new live Elf.

Jan 15, 2011 - I added Che Tristezza Sensa Te, the Italian version of Mr. Misery. Find the link with the other Ronnie and the Prophets songs below.

The Elves Live at the Heater has been relabeled Elf - Live at the Bank. In addition, a fan from Cortland sent 4 more Elf songs! Three of them are also from the live show at the Bank, and one other is a rehearsal of Sit Down Honey. Enjoy!

Songs in italics were sent to me by Jim Pownall, and you're going to love them! The songs were taken from a live Elves recording that Jim converted over and sent to me. If you like The Elves Live at the Beacon, you'll love this.

Songs in bold were re-mixed and uploaded 9/3/04. Big thanks to John White and David Kent who spent the time cleaning these songs up. They sound great!

Elves - Live at the Bank
NEW!!! (posted 5/23/05)

Update: Thanks to a reader, Nameless Instrumental has found a name: Rumble. Also, the song known as Teenage Wasteland (by the Who) is actually called "Won't Get Fooled Again." That has also been changed. Thanks for the catch, Bill!

Update 2: Thanks to Mike Donohue, who corrected the title Did You Ever to the correct title of An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down, from Rod Stewart. Thanks Mike!
