Completely agree that U2 was a better live show than Roxy this year. However, if I had the choice between going to either (but not both) I'd go for the Roxy ticket. Also quite true about Springteen, I'd say that U2 live have more about them than Springsteen - at the moment - - don't know how they'd compare a couple of years ago. wrt ABC - may sound a bit strange, but I've seen them live a couple of times in the last few years and they were surprisingly quite good (not quite U2 or Broooce though - but different) Aleks Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

It was my first time seeing them and I was in the standing area, about 1 metre away from the front of the stage ramp, Bono really likes to get involved with his audience, leaning into them, while they handle him!. But while it was a great show, why did I feel I'd seen it all before (with the exception of his political views).

I only started collecting about 2 and a half years ago. I categorise CD bootlegs as having some form of professional manufacture in their history, say screen printing of the disc. I would consider CD bootlegs to be worth no more than official releases, unless they contain material unavailable elsewhere. Most CD bootlegs are merely retreads of previous releases, Cd's being so easily replicated. many of the CD bootlegs are simply rebadged versions of other discs. I got a different copy of All Night Operator this morning. I would consider 30 pounds to be a ceiling for any CD release. Unless of course you have Alphaville on... Vinyl is much more interesting. Almost without exception the material is available in better condition elsewhere, say on CD, so you must consider vinyl LPs as artefacts really. Condition is very much more important of course. There are common vinyl bootlegs, such as Kornyphone's Foolproof, the US version of When You Were Young (with the stamped sleeve) or the Funky Chick/Silk Circles derivatives. These commonly change hands at eBay for #20 or much less. There are more exotic LP's such as Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fondle, or the Luxembourg releases of Bittersweet, or Chance Meeting which appear from time to time. #25 to 40 pounds might be more appropriate. I've seen copies of the US release of Bittersweet, the Boston show on coloured vinyl, go for 50 to 70 pounds, and copies of Real Cool Time or Surplus Sadness similarly. The most valuable vinyl would be stuff like For 'Eli and Li', 'Angel Eyes', 'Do You Remember? No, I Don't' or Oh Yeah, the prices are inflated because you just never see them on sale. the Tokyo Tour picture disc was supposed to be limited to 60 world-wide (although I know of 3 copies) Someone offered me a copy of Eli for #400 once... Simon Galloway and myself are working on some reviews of bootleg material. I'll consider adding a section with suggested values to that. I guess they are worth what you are prepared to pay for them. Personally I would never pay more than #100 for any disc, whatever its condition or rarity, although I'm sure there are those that would.

I saw Tokyo Tour many years ago at a Record Fair for approx #25. It was quite a lot of money then, standard bootlegs were going for approx #10. I couldn't afford it so unfortunately I didn't buy it - big regret... At around the same time I picked up "Oh Yeah" which is a really nice item. I assumed that it was quite widely avaiable - obviously not the case. It probably rates as one of the nicest items along with the 3LP(?) Chance Meeting, which I understood to be a Japanese pressing, as such the quality was supposed to be better. As far as "Angel Eyes" is concerned, I never came across it, which is surprising as I managed to see most of the bootlegs around that period. I had been told previously that "Eli" was the rarest and most expensive. I heard that there were only approx 200 pressed, but I don't know if this is the case. I spoke to someone approx 10 years ago, who said he picked it up for #50 in an auction. I dread to think what a copy would go for now on Ebay.

I get a kick out of the vinyl bootlegs, so I'm particularly keen on seeking those out. I have seen some of them advertised for between US$50.00-100.00 so they may have to wait a bit. Although there isn't a ton of live Roxy/Ferry available (compared to, say, the Grateful Dead), I'd still like to have live versions of every song that has been released in studio format. I don't think it's possible to be a completist -- I'm not aware of any live recordings of "Just Like You," "Serenade," "My Little Girl," "Spin Me Round," "Running Wild," "No Strange Delight," "Just Another High," The Space Between" or "True to Life." There are a few others I've surely left off. But it is certainly possible to put together a solid collection of bootlegs without spending a lot of money. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 16:54:09 +0000 From: "julie ahmadi" Subject: [AVALON] NP I was wondering that too.

But from going round the London and Sheffiled record fairs, CD boots seem to sell for around 10 - 20 pounds, although it's very difficult to get factory pressed boots these days, most are CD-Rs (that probably cost about 7p each to buy) often sourced from ropey MP3s with some shoddy artwork. I very rarely buy cd boots now, I much prefer to trade as the prospect of being ripped off is greatly reduced and you can take a chance with things you normally wouldn't look twice at (like Robyn Hitchcock boots, which are very good!). Vinyl boots are altogether different! As Chris says, it's more about the artefact. It's increasingly difficult to find vinyl boots on sale at fairs, so shopping around Ebay and places like www.netsounds.com and www.gemm.com are probably the best places to pick them up. If you can play Ebay well then you can often score a good bargain, but if you're like me you either end up paying over the odds or just losing out! I usually limit myself to 50 pounds an item, and that's for any record or cd, not just boots. I would value my own vinyl boots at somewhere between 15 - 40 pounds, depending on rarity, condition, content, packaging etc. To anyone interested in the murky world of bootlegs I would highly reccomend a read of Clinton Heylin's excellent bootleg history 'The Great White Wonders'. Essential! > Simon Galloway and myself are working on some reviews of bootleg material. How did you know?
