If someone managed to get the rare, deleted version of this post, how much is it worth? And will AWIYE br re-releasing it at some point? If not, anyone got a copy?
It was a request to trade recent Brian or Roger material. You're welcome. In return for this information I'll happily take a copy of the rare 45 minute video of Dave Fuller crying about Dale Earnhardt.
Was a request for anyone who wanted to trade for some recent recordings, but after posting there was something that I thought I could trade & then I could not. Sorry!!!!!
I expect that "Word" is doing his usual bit of recording the current Brian and Kerry shows he's going to and, quite rightly, is wanting to trade copies for other unreleased audience recordings.
I don't blame him for that. If he's only trading and not sharing then it ought to be making people who want copies think seriously about recording their own next time they go to a gig.
Sadly, we now live in a world where far too many people expect to be given stuff freely all of the time without them having to put any iota of effort into giving anything back and as such there's not much incentive for many to even bother doing it themselves, thus resulting in some concerts of recent years not being recorded at all.
I'm glad to see that OliverD5 (or whatever his name is), after asking for copies these last few years, looks like he's got the idea and is recording some himself this tour. Well done lad, and welcome to the club. You'll actually get a buzz out of trading your own recordings for someone else's and you'll feel a sense of achievement because of it. :)
Of course, it's a pisser when bootleg companies like Wardour & Tarantura "steal" your recordings and sell them at extortionate prices for their own gain and you get nothing out of it.
Good on you too Word. Keep recording AND trading!
^ well said! Of course, a lot of the shares here have been wonderful, but if it wasn't for trading, the guys sharing wouldn't have had anything to give. Pretty much all of my collection was achieved through trading.
Thank You, Brians Wig, Very well put!!!
And regarding OliverD05, Yes it is great that "New, young" people are starting to get the message. As you say, if more people "Did their Bit" there would be more recordings going around to be shared/traded whatever, but there would be more around, period.
if anyone is interested, I have listened to a sample of a test recording done by OliverD05 & is in lossless, the sound is really clear and good. If all his future recordings turn out as well, It's a real addition to the trading pool. :-)
but my recordings are not the reason I removed the post, if anyone is still up for a trade on my recordings, by all means PM me. It was just another recording I acquired as a joint venture, but my trading partner asked me not to trade, so I removed the post.
