Well, I'm kinda jealous of you there. I'd love to pass some time in NYC.
Indeed the boots are in the village. I can't remember where exactly. But I do remember that I found useful info in Lonely Planet's guide to New York. They also had an entry for a restaurant near the Chelsea hotel. It was a cuban-chinese restaurant. That's the best restaurant I have ever been to. It wasn't fancy, it wasn't expensive: the food was just great.

please dont post addresses of record shops selling bootlegs - The Stones' management have people reading these sites and doing so will probably get them raided or closed down. They did that in Dublin on the last tour for example. Every shop was raided within a couple of weeks of the Stones' gigs there.

If you post your e-mail address, I'll be happy to recommend a really good one by private e-mail

I don't know Gazza if that remark was also directed at me. In my eagerness to be helpful and useful I gave maybe too much info and I forgot that your remark was posted before and I should've known. Sorry for that in any case.

it wasn't, mate - no. Just a general remark at anyone who was thinking of posting such information.

It's easy to forget the risks attached to doing so - I've been guilty of that myself.

I heard they recently raided one store in the east Village. A sister store used to rent! a VHS of L&G.

Years ago, the stores sold CD_R_s for $25 or so. I don't know the going rate today, when there is bit torrent and eBay competition.

there are two great stores that i get all my boots at, but the names escape me:

One is on St. Marks I have spent so much $$ in this one, i might have a partial ownership by now!

The other is in the Village, wait i just found a bag in my desk here from the last time I was there, it is called and is located at

Both stores have great selections of Live bootlegs and unreleased studio stuff. the last time i was there i picked up a great CD that was comprised mostly of an unlrealsed album that John Phillips worked on with some of the Stones, but it was never finalized and released.

Very well done, HalfNanker. Thank you for ignoring some very sensible precautions outlined in earlier posts.

Those of us who have been lucky enough visit the above named shops to find excellent Stones materials that MERELY SUPPLEMENT our COMPLETE COLLECTIONS OF OFFICIAL RECORDINGS AND MEMORABILIA FOR WHICH WE HAVE PAID THE STONES AND THEIR CORPORATE PARTNERS MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS--we thank you.

In the event that the shops whose addresses you just revealed are raided, it will be a pleasure to continue discussing this matter with you.

You must have been there a while ago. "Pay Pack and Follow" was release several years ago. Officially.

One has already been raided. The other should be on the look out for any officious looking fellow with a ton of useless and contradictory information about how to use fan club passwords as well as how to compute the average of $450, $160 and $95 to yield $50.

I know of the stores that nanker talks of and they were both raided in the mid to late 90s, and the selection has really gone down hill since, no more original
silver cds just the old cdr knockoffs, but let me tell you in the mid 90s i was like a kid in a candy store, went there at least twice a month
with cash in hand and they had any cd or boxed set that you could want
ah the good old days

What a way to say thanks to retailers who make these recordings available...

I wouldn't have "Hampton '81," "Handsome Girls," the "Voodoo Lounge" DVD and so many other Stones gems if not for them. To say nothing of Neil Young and Bob Dylan releases.

Now, instead of showing the tiniest bit of discretion, the fools on this board--the hardcore fans who are actually in the market for boots--are jeopardizing a business that makes them available.

Slightly self-defeating, wouldn't you say?

Picks for the day: "Fancyman Blues," "Moon is Up," "Sweet Black Angel," "Locked Away"

dont kid yourself.

From the experience of people I know who've been threatened by them over things that any sane person would regard as insignificant, Stones' lawyers are complete bastards and the personification of pettiness

Midnight Records was a prime source that WAS busted and put out of business a year or so ago. Same with Revolver Records.
