So 40-50... 1000 People say Thank You, Please post more, express appreciation... and get no reaction at all... basically ignored.
Then one scumbag complains and they get a reaction and response... how does that make sense?
This place is missing a "like" button...

...I simply don’t understand negative people... either piss off or I’ll share my passion elsewhere.

Sorry if I was over reacting, as I said in my original response I post as MattLeeUK because I don't hide behind my keyboard. The internet is plagued with people who are negative towards others unnecessarily. To be fair what if I didn't care about the recordings, does that even matter. I meet people who go to many shows and don't collect anything, I meet people who collect records but don't go to shows and everything in between. What brings us all together is our shared passion however we choose to enjoy it.
I do massively respond to positive comments too! Several have reached out to me and asked for particular things which I always respond to. I haven't stopped posting (although I have to work sometimes to fund my habit) and I won't let some kill joy deny me the pleasure of sharing my passion. If anything it drives me harder to push on with the fit out of my new museum space to enable more sharing.
Love those Voodoo Lounge posters Doc, took me nearly a decade to find a Wembley 95 one (which was my first show). It always means much more when you were there!
On with the show... Ronnie's Emotional Rescue artwork concepts (quite appropriate):

One question Matt: you mention that you produced an album for Ronnie. Or did I misunderstand?

Technically I was the executive producer. I had funded Ronnie's gig at the Ambassadors Theatre and was over at his place in Surrey one Sunday afternoon. I stayed there until the evening and ended up driving him into London. Rather embarrassingly fan like when I started the car the "I Feel Like Playing" studio album blasted out of the CD player. I told him I would love to release a live album of the show but he said the record company wouldn't be interested because they wanted to sell more studio albums. Ultimately that's what led me to suggest a limited vinyl boxed set as that wouldn't cannibalise the record company's sales thus enabling us to get permission because it would actually promote their Studio album.
Having worked with Sally on the live show, Sally and I then set about designing what as a fan and collector would be my perfect release. As a fan it had to be the whole show without any cut outs or reordering of tracks. As a collector I wanted to press it on 180 gram coloured vinyl and throw in everything possible, a pick, the show poster, Ronnie's draft set list etc... The costs racked up rather fast and I was fully funding it. Each of the three different coloured records came in their own sleeves and even the inside of the lid was printed. Ronnie agreed to sign a photo to go in every copy to ensure the package remained great value (but of course we got little protective sleeves for the photos too).
Definitely one of my most fun "Stones" experiences and there have been a lot!

This is the best thread up on iorr.org. Especially with guys like Matt it’s always a pleasure to see it up in the list!
I promised some very rare and great stuff from the 70a... of course it can’t compete with items of Matt’s collection:
But here it is: The 1972 STP press kit for The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder in great condition.
Hope you guys like it... more to follow soon...

Hi Henrik, a great and true collectors item, especially in such a condition and complete with the Fotos ... congratulation ... this is one of the very few press kits I need for my collection :-)
All the best
Andreas
