Quotericcardo99 To me the most remarkable track is Tell Me Baby (How Many Times) the Big Bill Broonzy song which is presented as Tell Me 1st version but it is not,it comes from Chess Studios in 64 and from bootleg,therefore it is a bootleg track on an official release alongside with CS Blues another reason why they had to stop selling the LP box officially when Decca found out.

Thanks guys & I agree, if the record companies just can't be bothered to release something just a little different, then you can't blame the bootleggers for taking advantage of demand. I'm in the UK, so I guess the material once considered rare in certain territories has now been available for some time on eg: 'The Singles Collection', the dinky boxes, with the �

Hi All, Sorry if this has already been discussed, but as many will know- DAC just released another 'non-numbered' 2cd, which isn't part of their catalogue, but a kind of 'sideways' release similar to their 'Complete Ya Ya's' cd. In other words, it's pirated official material. It's the old (quite rare) German Decca 4-disc set from the earl

I only just noticed this thread, I'm not 'taking sides' & this part of the forum IS called 'Buy, Sell & Trade'. BUT- it takes time to build-up trust here, so coming along with a very, very expensive item to sell as a first-time poster probably isn't the best idea. If this was a bootleg, the situation would (ironically) maybe be different- as at least you woul

In some ways it just seems 'trendy' to me to knock EVERY ONE of these boxes. Sure- some/most have pressing errors on a couple of the discs, but the proportion that don't outweighs them. When I was scoring through dusty racks at record fairs all those years ago- I'd have been over the moon to find boots like this. For beginners especially they offer a pretty good over-view of c

Hi All:-) I was hoping that one of you kind folks could help me here please: DAC have just released a 4cd version of 'Live'r Than You'll Ever Be' (see photo's).

This is some of my favourite booted studio material, as it's not as overproduced as the finished record & also in wonderful quality on 'Jamming With Stu'. That being the case & having a temporary lack of sense- I ordered this new DAC title. I just wanted to add that preamble, so as

Hi All :-) This is a real 'can of worms' isn't it?. To be fair, I never described this Berlin release as being an 'upgrade'- just that it appeared to be in stereo & that it was described that way on Hotwacks.

Hi guys- I'm not just saying this to provoke a riot, but by a VERY strange coincidence- I was just listening to this 'Pave Boulder' no-label 2cd (I've had it in my collection for some time).

Hi All, This is really a question for the few old dinosaurs like me, who still collect factory-pressed boots :-) (or are still interested in 'new' releases): Really, this is related to another thread, where a new Japanese boot label ('For Fans Only') was being discussed, as they recently released Berlin 1970 in stereo.

QuoteRank Stranger Thanks for your comments, MrsHop! Up to now, most fans regarded another bootleg, namely "Shake Your Hips" VGP-078 as the best source for that show. This bootleg is still available from UrbanSteel here: I owned 'Shake Your Hips', but actually sold it recently as the version of the Berlin on 'Roll Over Beethoven'VGP-261 is MUCH better imo

Many VGP titles are still available & can be bought for $45 for a double & $35 for a single disc release. That's the lowest price I've ever come across. However, the titles that are sold out can actually fetch as much as $200-300 each. These titles are sold-out for a good reason, ie: they were very good! :-). This applies to some of the later issue numbers too, not just the earl

Quotemitch I agree with you it is boring to see the same material released over and over, but it is always great to have upgrades. The logic of DAC outtakes releases is to reissue old vinyl boots with the best sound possible even if some tracks appears on different releases. With "More Fast Numbers" and "Paris Results", we already have double tracks with different sound q

Quotemitch "Better Results" is also re-issued today by DAC!... I think DAC did a very good job with 'Paris Results' & 'Sheep Dip Blues'.

I'm not sure where the lyrics came from at the start of the this thread (nice to see them 'in black & white' though :-)). It may seem a bit 'nit-picky', but the 2nd line doesn't contain the phrase: "I'm a yard off my pace", but the far less subtle (& very old-school Brit' phrase): "I'm a yard of my piss".
