ok heres this guys email to me.
quote:
what are you looking for? High-energy shows? Jams? Every Dark Star from 1972? Mega-long Lovelights? A hot Sailor>Saint to prove it actually could be a good song pair? [that would be 10-10-82 Frost]. Later songs not yet issued? Beatle covers? Brent songs? acoustic sets?
As you see, it is a grazing ground not so easily reduced to a lawn; the most popular shows are not necessarily 'best', or even most representative, because popularity often stems from simple availability. Before CDRs made trading much easier, the most popular shows was 5-8-77, as it was a good show available in good quality. More lately, it's been 8-27-72 Veneta, which is available in at least three different mixes. The old favorite for Dark Stars was 2-13-70 [now on DP4]; easy accessibility has diminished its status, and now some opt for 9-21-72 Philly Spectrum -- or 5-11-72 Rotterdam (certainly the longest!) -- or 11-13-72 (Latvala's favorite). But 9-21 is a bit hissy, 5-11-72 is almost monophonic, and 11-13-72 is a little rough in sound quality. So you see, it's not so easy to make recommendations :-)
If you like, you can contact me by phone (*********) 9a - 9p Pacific time -- it's always a bit easier to negotiate in real-time conversation, and we can hash out the ins & outs of your request[s]. OR we can continue discussing by email. OR you can just plunk a spindle of 50 CDRs my way with stamps for return postage, and I'll just fill them up with the more commonly desired shows. It wasn't all that long ago that I was in exactly your position, and it took me a while to come to grips with the trading community and how it worked. I should warn you that trading shows is a habit easily acquired and not easy to quit -- three years ago I had only one show not released as DP/etc, now I must have over 200 -- and i'm not even a major trader. Like all addictions, I think I can quit any time ;-) So the time for you to build or buy a new CD rack is closer than you think!
Regards,
Joe
Heres the thing that gets me

i don't trust him. find his home, destroy it and him, and take the shows from the burning wreckage that once was this liars life. |

50 cds is nothing, 20 bucks drop shipped to him mail him the stamps and you're only out $32 if he sticks you
can you spare $32? if so, go for it. he's probably not going to screw you. |
