Placebo Kitsch Object

Post by Russell1982 » Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:51 am

Hi all, may be a long shot but I was wondering if anyone has a link to download this song by Placebo. It seems to be a rarity from Without You I’m Nothing sessions and I fairly recently discovered an unmastered studio version on YouTube that had somehow leaked.

I’ve enquired about getting a link to it with no luck and suddenly thought, hey maybe someone here is in the know. Brian was a 100% jag user at the time so I guess that makes it kind of relevant here right? ;D

Can you share the YouTube link?

Depending on the quality you might get a passable audio download using YouTube-dl or yt-dlp type utilities.

The quality is already poor, listen to the swishswash cymbals :-X

I'll have a dig through my hard drive, I had a big Placebo crush so might have it laying around somewhere

That’s be great, thanks so much.
I’ve had a big placebo crush for the past 25 years haha. But recently been listening to them a lot again and discovered that version on YouTube linked above, which is the best quality I’ve found so far.

I just think it’s such a cool song and I love hearing something “new” from that era. It’s such a shame they’ve never released it in any form.

I'm sure it will get a proper release eventually.
Here is a live version in flac tho is was clearly recorded handheld by someone that can't stand still xD

I think that is as good as it gets for any live version and there is no where that it has popped up in lossless studio version yet, but yeah... I'm sure it will one day, Maybe next year as part of a 25th anniversary edition? xD

Thank you so much. That was the studio version I was after. It seems to be the best quality version available. Also really enjoyed that live version. :)

Yeah, I really hope that they decide to master it and release an official version one day. I’m so surprised they never even used it as a b-side around the time instead of all the cheesy remixes.

4K Video Downloader

It will download an audio only file as well as the video file form YouTube. It has a free version that works fine.
