Best Of the Wind-Ups

CuriousClouseau

Hi,
Im living in Waterford and heard a tape some while back
called Best Of The Wind-Ups. It was a program that used
to be hosted by Mick Mulcahy on Cork 96fm's Big Breakfast
show. I was wondering does anyone have all the volumes of this
show that I could get from them? I contacted
the Cork FM website but they only have volumes 3 and 5.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about this thread. After some computer grief which saw me lose all the files I'd been working with just before christmas, I did finish transferring them to mp3 although by this stage I was so sick of trying to get them done that I didn't spend as much time as I could have done tweaking the audio quality. They sound OK, but you can tell they were originally ripped from a tape copy of the originals...

However, since the Wind-ups were supposed to be starting again and the Best Of The Windups CD was on sale over Christmas, I'm a bit wary of distributing knocked-off copies of the tapes if they're gearing up to start the whole thing again.

However; I did promise I'd send them on to people in this thread, so anyone who's given me their info will receive copies one way or another over the next couple of weeks. (I'm having ongoing problems with my home net connection so I'm not sure what the best way of distributing this stuff would be, but I'd prefer being able to email them to people than physically posting CDs...).

Hey Fysh,

My aunt had tape copies of these and lost them. She'd love to get them back - any chance I could get a copy of them from you?

Thanks!!

Hi Fysh

any chance i could get a copy of the cork phonecalls.
i have ben laughing at the dog licensing one for about 10 years. it never fails.

Fysh

I have no home internet connection right now and it looks like I wont have one for a while. I'll work on getting these sent out to people somehow, but it may take a while. I'll post again in this thread when I've got an update.

Hi,

Was wondering if any chance of getting copies of the Wind Ups. We have one volume on cassette but its battered now. Hope you can help and would happily pay for them.

Thanks, Bex

walt0r

put them up, somebody, pls!!

iPink

I'd love to hear them too if possible...

Fysh

I dont have access to sizable webspace or a home connection that I could run a torrent from, and neither situation will change any time soon. Unfortunately, this means that unless someone wants to get copies from me at a boards beer or something and host them themselves, I can't make them available. Sorry guys.

CuriousClouseau

Did anyone ever manage to get copies of these? Wud luv to get them one way or another and am more than willing to pay. Please let me know,cheers.

Enright

i have the best of windups 2005 converted to mp3, i have a cd of today fm gift grub stuff. I had the first 3 cassettes of the windups but someone BORROWED them, so i would love to trade or swops files. let me know if interested.:D

CuriousClouseau

I have managed to transfer Volume 3 on CD. Quailty is very good so I would be willing to trade this for some of the other volumes. I can convert it to MP3 also.

Femelade

you can buy all 6 windup CD's in the 96fm station. the first 5 are €12.99 and the 6th is €16.99.

Hi, I'd love to get my hands on Volume 1. I havent heard it in years but apart from mad Con I think it's also got 'Boycee' the english fella and also the one about that clown and his wifes poodle!! Can anyone post me a copy of this CD? I've got volume 3 on CD which I'll gladly burn and send on in return. I can even convert to Mp3 and email aswell if that's more convenient

Long-overdue update on this:

for reasons of my own, I've spent rather more of the last month away from the computer and being outside actually doing stuff (mostly drinking, but still - a scary enough prospect). Hence the, ahem, slight delay in getting these finished. Compounded by things breaking which were awkward to replace (or at least replace cheaply, which given that I don't want to charge anyone anything for this, is a concern).

Anyway. I've got all the tapes on my computer at the moment, and have made some headway into cleaning them up so that they'll sound reasonable on CD. At the rate I've been going, I should hopefully be able to burn some test CDs by the end of the week - once I've done that, I'll get in touch with people.

hello there,
listen i've been trying to geta hold of these classics for ages. i live across the water now but i loved the wind ups in my college days. is there any way you could send me a copy of them, i'd pay you for the in convienience.

Hi John,

Hope I am not too late...
Have been trying to get these from Cork FM without much success - I would really appreciate a copy (if possible) by email or snail mail - happy to pay postage etc.

I'm just wondering if anyone has anything recorded with Mick Mulcahy and Obi John Maloney ? He used to be on in the mornings with Mick and I thought he was hillarious. 96fm don't have any recordings of these shows and I'm hoping someone here might have one or two episodes recorded.

Cheers

LittleMissLogic

I wish I had check this 2 years ago. I have all the wind-up's. The whole collection. On cd. Um...2 years too late?
I am however looking for a rare one of Jackie Healy Ray. If anyone has his on mp3, I will gladly trade my entire collection.

Dr_Colossus

Hi, has anyone managed to convert these to mp3 and host them on a server for download? Would really love to get a hold of these again, used to have volumes 1-3 on cassette a few years ago. Great stuff.
If there's on a server or webpage can you please provide the link or PM with details.
Thanks

Any of the windups i heard sounded like set ups.They probably all were.

I believe I heard on the radio you can buy them at reception in the 96FM station itself.

Any takers?

Hi,

Is there any chance of a copy??

Thanks Ed

Hi all...

Sorry to re-bump an old thread but Google brought me here. Whenever I think of it, I have been periodically checking literally for several years to get a hold of the wind-ups, so far I have only had success in sourcing volumes 3 & 5 from 96FM themselves...

I am chasing the rest of the set (specifically 1 and 2), I don't care if it's on tape, CD, original or MP3 or whatever. Can anyone at all please help out? I am in Australia but happy to pay for items, postage etc.

I even have a spare kidney.......:o

I will edit this post if & when I am successful in getting these... so if you are a browser who can help me out, consider the request still valid despite the date of posting.

Cheers all

Femelade

Up to recently they have volumes 2-5 in 96fm, i'm sure thats still the case.
You can ring them on 0214551596

WestOz

Hmmm really? Perhaps that's a recent development because I have been emailing them for several years up to late 2006 (the last contact I had with them, when I received volumes 3 & 5). Joy Hennebry of 96FM sales dept assured me that these were all she could get her hands on.

As for ringing the number, bit difficult from my location!! But if you insist, tell me the area code, country code etc.

But yeh, my request still stands... anyone at all out there can help, happy to pay etc, even throw in the cost of a pint or two.....

WestOz

Hey all...

My several years long search is finally over! Thanks to michaelharringt I now have the whole set of 6 volumes

:D:D

Now, if only Mick would start 'em up again...

FinnMcCool1974

Hey Guys!
Like many of yourselves, I've been trying to get a hold of some of the old 96FM Wind Up cassettes with Mick Mulcahy. Does anyone here have some digital copies of them? I'd love to get my hands on them so I can bring back some memories from the old sod :-)
Thanks a million,
Damien.
