This CD was in my binder but I can't seem to find it anywhere via search. Any ideas?

ETA: Almost certainly TPN out of Cottage Grove, MN

Post a recording of it to YouTube and see who issues a DMCA takedown. /s

Rip it to mp3 and then run it through something like this https://picard.musicbrainz.org/

Picard uses AcoustID audio fingerprints, allowing files to be identified by the actual music, even if they have no metadata.

No luck with this, it doesn't identify it.

Can you rip it and share it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Does FreeDB/GnuDB match it?

Have you tried using Shazam or something like that against one of the tracks?

Can you read the matrix? It's written on the inner circle.

All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead...

Lick it and see if it tastes like tasty wheat.

[–] plantsmakemehappy 4 points 1 month ago

There is nothing actually written in the inner circle, the back of the disk has a serial number or something for the cd-r multi-speed but it's not anything to identify the contents of the disk

Yeah, this seems like the best lead since it has one.

This seems highly likely, I'll compare some of the songs when I get back to my computer.

[–] plantsmakemehappy 2 points 1 month ago

Hard to tell for sure but given that what you found says Cottage Grove and the record for HillHouse Records I found is also Cottage Grove, calling this solved. You're amazing.

Have you listened to it at all for any hints? Genre, lyrics, likely song titles, etc.?

I have found a country band called "The Piedmont Boys" under HillHouse Records, who had started around 2004 or so. But that really does not look like a "B" on the disc.

[–] plantsmakemehappy 4 points 1 month ago

100% not country. 7 songs First track starts off like "you've seen it on TV, you've seen it in the news, you heard it on the radio and you've read it in the tribune"

I'd say it's punk.

Tried doing some quick searches and I also couldn't find anything. At most I used an online image text extractor to find the company is hillhouse (hil house?) records. Nothing else helps, especially not being able to make out the big letters in the center properly.

Definitely saving this post because I really wanna know what it is now.

Just like the others I couldn't find the band behind that, but maybe HillHouse Records is a lead worth pursuing.

Quick search turned up this page with some info.

And while there is no contact email there is a phone number one might give a try calling.

Also, checking Facebook might be an idea, maybe they have a page there.

I found an inactive business records for HillHouse Records from 2004 in Minnesota which seems more likely.

[–] BatrickPateman 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, probably. Too bad it is inactive.
