Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Amazing work, Reggie Rocket. Thank you!
If you're interested in the .TS file from 2015 that you missed, I still have mine*
*Unfortunately my recording ended too early so it got the first 5 Countdowns but not the 6th one :slightly_frowning_face: Better than nothing though. Happy to upload it for you.

Anyone who wants a copy of my Countdown episodes collection (H.264 MP4 files) can get:
● This year's episodes from THIS LINK (Google Drive link)
● My 2014-2019 episodes from THIS LINK (FileFactory)

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

"If you're interested in the .TS file from 2015 that you missed, I still have mine"

Thank you, but it is the other way around. I got that week and missed the following four! Actually, the 6th "Countdown" from that week is in my uploads linked previously as a .mpg file if you'd like to go and grab it.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi All,

This has been something really special. Lots of very generous and helpful people here have shared their content to help us all fill those gaps. Luuuc, Grant, kiersey, ReggieRocket, CountdownLover - you've all been been amazing.

I'm going to be a bit self-indulgent and post my list of PRE-DIGITAL requests. There's quite a few of us who did record Retro month on VHS since it began on RAGE, then later transferred to DVD. It seems like only a smaller group of us have gone on to digitally rip their DVD's.

If anyone can fill my list, this is what is outstanding to complete my collection.

Happy to negotiate for physical copies. It's the completist in me that would love to obtain these. So here it goes....

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

some more Countdowns here:
http://filefactory.com/folder/a91ca0daa6a98763

I've excluded all the episodes that have already been generously uploaded by Luuuc, Reggie and Grant, so these should be new to some at least.

Criscles - The "May 27th 1984 Scott & Craig (Kids in the Kitchen)" episode you want is here, but it's not the best quality (I didn't rip any of them, I just found them)

and

Luuuc - the two Countdowns from Rage 2014 that you are missing the start/end from are here too

thanks for uploading those files kiersey, i found the file labelled Countdown 82-06-04.mp4 (Marc Hunter host) doesn't seem to be in the 'Archives' section of this site. Is it the correct date & not in there or incorrect episode date?

Looks like it may have come from a recording from many years ago as the way they set out the date on screen is different to later broadcasts.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Just want to say thanks for your impressive contribution of Countdown episodes you put up on DropBox. I noticed you kept updating it with more episodes, which was awesome. The link is now defunct, but what you put on there was just fantastic! Thanks.

Hi Retro Tragic, Do you still need these 8 episodes? I don't have them but I know 2 sources who do. Could maybe set up a 3 way trade.

cheers,

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi kersey. No, I'm good now. Some very generous people helped out. Thanks mate.

Do you have another contact email, or have you been having email problems that you know of ?

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hey all, long time not see.

Just wondering please if anyone has an uncompressed vob of the 19th Jul 1987 episode of countdown. This actual countdown has long eluded me. I've got the countdown awards from that night but not the show.

Sorry I don't have any episodes to trade as I've got them all on DVDs offline (don't know what software to use for ripping uncompressed copies of DVDs, sorry), but I can trade flac copies of the Ktel compilations of the 70s and 80s if anyone is after these. I've spent the last 20 years trying to pull lossless versions of these compilations together, and for the most part I've succeeded, but a few of my comps though complete still have a few bricked dynamically compressed songs, so most of the compilation sounds right, and you'll get one or two "VERY LOUD" songs, but unfortunately this is the way record companies master today.

Yes I have that C/D episode. It is in MP4 format about 1.5GB so I assume it is not compressed. What format is your C/D awards from the same date in? I need a copy of that. There is plenty of software out there which will take the .vob files from a DVD and convert them to another format. I use Freemake video converter. If you are too busy I will convert them for you. In any case I will give you the C/D episode from 19/07/87.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing


kiersey, thanx, this is much appreciated. :) awesome, yes I can get you a copy of that. I used to use DVD decrypter for ripping DVDs, but haven't used it yet on my new computer, you never know, it may still work, but thanx for the suggestions. My copy of the 1987 awards is a DVD from Troy from several years ago. I'm happy to do it right away, it's just the issue of trying to locate it, which may take me a week or two. Over the last three or four years I've had problems with my eyes, and have gone off recording countdowns. My countdown collection has fallen into a slight shade of disorganisation. Every January the time taken to record the shows, burn them off, label them, file them, and maintaining the DVD collection was taking up too much of my time, as my day job became more involved. :( Reggie rocket has taken over that task, we live within an hour of each other, and quite often physically visit each other, we often swap CD rips, as CDs are now more my thing.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi Mark, are you aware of 'Col's Compilation Corner'? A site full of 70s-early 90s compilations to download. Some comps you can watch the videos. Do y'self a favour! You have to message the owner for the password to download...Access through www.drozdj.com

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

:joy: i put in 'Mark' instead of 'Michael'.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Just so everyone is aware, I have had to delete my files from FileFactory. However, we have a very fast upload and they are still on a hard drive (and backed up to another) so I will be happy to re-upload any episodes by request. I hope everyone who wanted them all has got them all and I hope I managed to help someone :)

Is it you who uploads cricket videos to YouTube. If so, then I wanted to thank you for all those. They made the lock down bearable!

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi Kiersey (and others who may be missing old Countdown episodes). Ill get more episodes (that circulate less) uploaded in the coming days.

Feel free to download with links below - the 3 are 23/03/80, 01/06/80, 15/06/80 - so far. The Sherbet from 30/12/75 is a repeat of the 24/08 show and the original broadcast version is wiped, but the 30/12 has been screened in more recent times (can upload if needed). Ill get more up tomorrow. Note that these recordings go way back to the analogue days of the 1990s and early 2000s but they are direct off air as VHS recordings, transferred direct to DVD then rendered as MPEG's. Enjoy.

If someone can upload the 4 Countdowns from last night and post links that would be appreciated. Cheers!!

Thanks Brett, I appreciate the uploads. Those Skyhooks and Village people episodes have proved elusive. No need to upload the Sherbet special for me. I have the repeated version of 30.12.75. I had just noted that some people have the 24.08.75 episode listed in their collection. I thought it may have existed but you have answered that question. Cheers, kiersey.

Thanks Luuuc - much appreciated. For Kiersey and others here are more of the Rage Reruns requested from the 90s period. 1981 shows this time.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing


thanks to everyone sharing their episodes, much appreciated to fill in some gaps in my collection.

I did put up a post about which ones i have last summer but i figure most of you probably have them already since no one replied. http://pub24.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2015862427&frmid=135&msgid=976389&cmd=show

I have some recorded onto vhs tape & then dvd recorder that were broadcast around 2000-2009, but obviously they may not be as good quality as digital recordings.

I'll make some time to check any want lists posted but feel free to email me for requests.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

How generous and kind all of you are! It's amazing that we can all enjoy these countdowns again!
Anyways, I have a short want list, if anyone can help me out with it. Many thanks!

27 October 1985 : Kids In The Kitchen hosting
16 February 1986 : Martin Plaza hosting
20th April 1986 : show before the awards
15th June 1986 : Brian Canham hosting
7th September 1986

And the following Countdown awards for the following years : 1983 and 1986 (aired in 1984 and 1987 respectively).

Many thanks!

Hi Rob. There were no Countdowns for last Saturday. They played Rock Arenas.

Yes I know- very hard episodes to find lol. Perhaps someone out there (very unlikely) has episodes from their first airing. I’m guessing the episodes I’m tracking down are even more rare than the b & w ones from ‘74!

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

FYI, apart from their original airing, the majority of these have never aired on Rage since it started repeating Countdown eps apart from the April 15th 1984 and July 19th 1987 Countdown Awards.

Hopefully someone on here might be able to help you with those 2.

Cheers, criscles.

Hopefully... I also remembered I was looking for the 24 December 1983 airing. That I’m almost sure was played on Rage.

In hindsight- if anyone possibly has any countdowns never aired on rage on hand, you could help a good amount of people. There are a significant amount of episodes never played that I’m sure everyone wants to see.
Cheers :)

Woops I'm not thinking straight!!!

I blame COVID lockdowns, i'm going nuts....

Also, how bloody weird is it having Retro month in February, I cant deal with it mentally!!!! So used to hanging for every January saturday night....

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Looking for the 2 Countdown episodes from last night, 82 and 86 if someone can kindly upload. Thanks!!

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi there. Just stumbled across this forum. I have been Rage-ripping Countdown for a few years now. I'll be very surprised if I have anything precious but a list of the MPGs I have is below. Let me know if you want anything I can put it on FileFactory.

One question. It looks like Rage put the same date on '1982-04-11 Duran Duran" and "1982-04-11 Starstruck". This looks like a mistake. When were these episodes broadcast?

Also, I don't have many episodes from 1984 and 1985 which is disappointing. If someone can share some of their favourite episodes from these two years I'd be extremely grateful.

Check rage on ABC on Wednesday morning this coming week, as that's when they repeat part of the Saturday night program.

This coming Wednesday, rage is scheduled to air between 1:21 a.m. and 3:42 a.m. They could repeat one or both Countdowns then.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

One of the posters here has uploaded all of the 2021 episodes to file factory

Here's the link

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Luuuc
I\\\'m about to start uploading my collection of Countdowns to Filefactory again, so anyone who can put up with the slow speeds is welcome to help themselves
(I think the speed is slightly better if you sign up for a free account)

Download Link

Out of respect to those who have shared with me over the years I\\\'ll only be sharing episodes I have recorded myself, which basically are the ones broadcast since 2014.
Files are named by original broadcast date in the format YY-MM-DD
Just a heads-up that I have also added some Rock Arena episodes to the above collection on FileFactory. There's the 5 shown this year, plus several episodes from previous retro months that I've just ripped.
