Have first two titles in your thread:
SWEET VIRGINIA (aka Hampton 1981) by SM is an improvement over the Dandelion box set that I previously owned. That Dandelion set, much like the Swinging Pig set has over-recorded bass. Here, the bass seems to be reduced while the treble is nicely enhanced providing excellent stereo separation. I did find that the first three tracks on DISC 1 were slightly too bright but after that it improves. Overall, I'd give it a 9/10.

"Oakland 99 and Shepards Bush were also original"
Alrite for Oakland but are you sure about Shepards Bush? Looks like he ripped-off th DL title...
I dont think so, and in John Carr's review of all three releases(VGP,Dandelion, and SM) in SFJ Vol. IV Issue 4 he didnt think so either.
Also the email link in referred to in that thread hasnt been used for communication or ordering for years that I know of. All I had to do for an email was post a request on Hotwacks and someone(who is also on this board) hooked me up.

Whatever your take on SM is, mentioning real names is unforgivable.

Its justified when certain dealers use to rip people off, taking money and failing to deliver the goods, as a warning, but in those cases the bad people have to blame themselves.
Its not justified in cases like SM when certain people simply dont like the product. Take it or leave it. We all should be mature enough to know that mentioning real names of bootleggers could cause trouble.

Well, I think Mr. Reeder belongs to the rip off dealer section. He takes a source, boosts the highs and lows and masters it to death with non-professional audio program and then charges $25 for a CDR.
That's a rip off to me.
