"Bootlegs" are NOT us, bootleggers are scum who profit >from selling their unlicensed (and often shitty) recordings, at the expense >of the band... or so the theory goes... Well, now, see here, sir, grumble grumble grumble... (Actually, I'll begin with a friendly joke. "What did the Grateful Dead fan say when he ran out of drugs?" "Man, this music is horrible!") Anyway, it's neither fair nor accurate to paint bootleggers with this big and terrible brush of "scum" selling their products at the "expense of the band." Creating a decent-quality product in the days before CD-Rs entailed huge costs and huge risks, which tape traders did not incur. Tape trading was all very nice and good if you wanted the lo-fi, crummy sound of an audio tape. People who wanted something that sounded better and resulted in a product they could be proud of had to pay to make it. Given the choice of an umpteenth-gen audience recording made from crummy tape to crummy tape, or a well-mastered record pressed on colored vinyl and issued in a nicely-designed sleeve, which would you want? But if you want quality, you have to pay for it. *I* can make crummy audiocassettes, but I can't stamp a wax record. Go back to 1971 and find a factory to do it for you, and you've got to do a minimum of 1000 copies to keep your per-unit cost down to something managable. Of course, you'll need to find a foreman who won't mind running the presses on something illegal while the boss is out of town, and you'll have to slip him $100 so when the boss asks "what's this run of 1000 we did," the foreman will tell him it was a mail-order Englebert Humperdinck set, and not Roxy Music live in Sheffield '73. Then do it again for the record sleeves, if you want them in sleeves. Keep a few for yourself and your buddies, then recoup your costs by selling 975 copies to record stores. I'm not saying there haven't been some ripoff artists or greedy asses who didn't make a quick buck off crummy recordings sometimes, but their shady activities shouldn't taint the whole, beautiful, fly-in-your-face industry of boots with such ugly labels. I'd buy Vicky Vinyl a drink whenever she calls me on it; Robert Stigwood can take a hike.

My two cents worth: $6 or $7 is an absolutely fair starting price for any CD boot that comes in a jewelbox with color packaging.

No, he has a different opinion. This is what I don't understand--that someone has "a problem," underlying or otherwise, or they have to have their email box stuffed full with rebuttals. So someone didn't like the show they saw or the idea of the reunion or the newest album. So what? If you aren't in the band or aren't the singer or musician why take it so personally?

Nobody ever said that about the greats of the Jazz era.

Thanks for the warning, Heather. I also broke down and bought a new IDE CD burner (12X10X32). It came with Nero...HATED IT!. Broke down and bought Easy CD Creator 5.0 which set me back $90....OUCH!!! But I have to admit it`s an excellent software and comes packaged with a lot of truly *useful* goodies. The sound editor looks interesting and can`t wait to give it a shot. I use Music Match for my media needs. It rips, it converts, it plays, it juliennes...a fine multi media utility, IMO.

Well it might have depended on your age, but I would say YES. At least it was that way with all my Roxy friends, they were much more focused on new stuff, especially coming from England. I would say your average Eagles, Firefall, and Doobie Bros fan was unlikely to get into Roxy Music, or punk. e _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 20:45:31 0000 From: "diane whateley" Subject: [AVALON] RE: AVALON- RM/RM gig 13th Sept, Rotterdam How do you get hold of tix for the after Roxy gig?

Here's a Tree Idea I like.... Make a poll vote of say, ten or twenty of the best Roxy/Solo Live shows. Real highlights, not to be missed, one or two from each tour of the LP's and Bryan solo tours. Maybe an 801, or Explorers thrown in. Think of it as a mondo box set. I know it sounds like a huge deal to do so many disks, but it would meet a lot of needs, and make a lot of people happy, and cover "tree-needs" for some time to come. It would also create more people with a decent collection with which to do trades elsewhere, and help out newbies. e roxy boots before manifesto An idea of treeing some early material that has never been treed or bootlegged before is being kicked around.

I think all that is left to figure is what SFX is taking in. It is my understanding, perhaps incorrect I do admit, that Roxy was paid up front before they stood upon the first stage.
