Edelweiss, by Edelweiss

I have a vinyl 12" by an Austrian (I think) band called Edelweiss. It’s an EP of (IIRC) four different versions of their song Edelweiss – which is nothing whatever similar to the Julie Andrews number from The Sound Of Music with which everyone is familiar.

I could search through the storage unit to find the box my LPs are in, then find the turntable in another box, then get a friend to hook it up to his computer so that I can digitise it. (I haven’t figured out how to play vinyl on my iPod.) But it would be easier to just buy it from iTunes. Only I can’t find it on iTunes. A friend told me a friend of hers found the short version on WinMX (? That’s like the non-Apple version of iTunes, right?), but I don’t have that.

Does anyone know where I can get a digital version of Edelweiss by Edelwiess, so that I don’t have to dig through boxes?

Johnny:

WinMX is a P2P program - the original nodes shut down due to an RIAA suit, but users have (illegally) brought it back by re-routing those nodes or something like that, I’m unfamiliar with the exact specifics.

If anyone has a legal answer to this, please post it - otherwise let’s leave the P2P and other illegal programs out of this.

I was not aware of that.

Do you speak of the late 80’s Eurotrash dance version, set to the tune of ABBA’s SOS?

5

Yes, that’s the one. (Though I never made the connection with ABBA.) It was a staple on ski trips, along with other Winter-ish music I’d put on a cassette. I don’t suppose it’s available on CD?

Gimme a few mins and I’ll PM you a link to it :slight_smile:

Edelweiss mp3 - chart edit (3.30 mins)

Apologies if this breaks board rules - it’s a freely available http source, but the copyright issues are up to you to sort out… :slight_smile:

Errrr… yeah, that probably does break board rules, unless TPTB changed things since I quit. :smiley:

Johnny, send me an e-mail, I know how to obtain this song.
