[...] Is someone willing to upload/share them again? [...]

Request heartily seconded.

I'd be available to do so, but the size of the whole paket is too big to have it stored on my free Dropbox (or anywhere free) forever.
Only thing I could offer is a temporary upload. But then, I guess our master here has much better capabilities to even store the whole bunch without any time-limitation. mjp?

How big is it actually (in MBs/GBs)?
I think you can store pretty much stuff back at MediaFire (for a long time and it's free).

I have the files here somewhere. When I find them I'll put them up.

Those file upload/download sites are not a long term solution. And some of them will drop things onto your computer that you don't want to be there. None of them are motivated by altruism.

That's Our man!

Great, thanks!

I guess it depends on what you believe a long term solution is.
Some (huge) files I had uploaded at 4Shared & MediaFire back in 2008 are still live and kicking. Just saying.

I believe a long term solution doesn't break forum threads like this one.

An attachment stays with the forum, a link dies eventually. Every one of them.

I agree, but the snag is most forums do not allow huge attachments.
:((

Spoiler: disclaimer

I am in no way affiliated with/to any of the file-sharing sites mentioned. :D

I don't wanna be a pain in the ass, but is there any news on this?

In the meantime, here's another one:

Thank you for the scans (and for pulling mjp's ears bumping the thread ).

Here's one more with 6 poems. It's possible, that 3 of them are uncollected or were retitled. I can't check that by myself because I don't own any pdf versions of the BSP books. At least I can't find them in the database. These are "Upon the landslide victory of Richard Nixon", "The Adding Machine" and "Charlie".

The other 3 ("The chicken", "The Violin Player" and "TV") were collected in BSP books.

As for "The Violin Player" it is worth mentioning that the line "I forget who won the 2nd, but he was still playing his violin" is missing in Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit - pg. 61 - 1979. I checked the hardcover and the paperback version and I guess this is a typo and just for once it wasn't Martinized.

Charlie is renamed Charles in Burning in Water Drowning in Flame (and the rape/gang bang reference is removed).

There are a lot of examples of lines being dropped in Black Sparrow books that don't look like they were dropped on purpose. Transcription errors maybe, but at this point who knows.
