Hello traders!  A few things you should know:

*  First of all, do not hesitate to email me!  I am always up for a trade, and--unless I am  
extraordinarily busy (or I have "NO NEW TRADES" posted)--I will respond.

*   I do not sell; I only trade.  Please, please don't sell the stuff I send you!

*  All my stuff is on CD, unless otherwise marked.

*  I am really looking for CDs, but I will sometimes trade for tapes, too--especially if you have something I'm really looking for!

*  I always use
brand name CD-Rs (usually Sony, Maxell, Imation, etc), and I really prefer to get brand names in a trade.  Please don't use brandless/nameless cheap stuff.  By that, I mean anything that does not have a brand name printed ON IT.  Pretty much anything else is OK.

Please burn DAO.  I do.  I am not incredibly picky about those 2-second gaps, but I trade with a lot of people who are.

*  I don't send artwork,
and I am no longer routinely sending setlists.  Setlists for all of my CDs are available on this website.  If you would really like me to send setlists with your CDs, please let me know and I will be happy to do so.  You do not have to send me setlists, either, if they are available on your website or tradelist.  (But if you do send them to me, I'll always be extremely appreciative!!)

*  I grade based on sound quality only--not the quality of the performance, or anything else.  I tend to grade a bit softly (although I'm trying to get tougher! :), because I'm not insanely picky about every little hiccup in a recording.  I grade my shows to give a *rough idea* of what you'll be getting into.

It seems to be the case that Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks boots tend to be of a lower quality than most other bootlegs.  Yes, it would be great if every recording was broken up into tracks that flowed seamlessly into one another, were never cut, and sounded clear as a bell.  But that's just not reality. ;-)  I'm willing to put up with low-grade sound quality, because I want to hear everything!!  If you don't feel the same way, you might want to check with me very carefully about each show you're interested in.

* I try to avoid mp3-sourced CDs whenever possible. 
I don't download.  Please don't send me mp3-sourced shows, if you can help it.  Or, at the very least, warn me that that's what I'll be getting.

*  If I've noted that a show is "all on one track," that means the songs have not been broken up into individual tracks.  I try to be as careful as possible about identifying these shows--so take note, if that bothers you.  (I don't love it myself, and I'm hoping to get around to breaking up these untracked shows at some point.)

*  I am happy to answer specific questions about any CD, show, song, or compilation.  Always ask.

*  I'm happy to do 2:1's for people who are newbies and/or don't have anything to trade...Email me, and we'll work something out!  Here are my rules for 2:1's:

       *1--You
must send enough money to cover return postage, or send an SASE    (which helps me get your discs out much quicker).  If you are unsure about how much postage you need to include, just ask.  That way, if you don't send enough, it will be my fault! :)

      
*2--Please send quality CDs--Sony, TDK, Maxell, Imation, Fuji, JVC, K-Hypermedia, even Memorex, are OK.  And you don't need to send me the jewel cases with the blanks.  Keep them for yourself. 

*  And finally...If I send you a CD that is flawed in some way, please speak up!  Just let me know, and I'll send a replacement right away.  I'd hope for the same from you. ;)  I'm very easy to deal with, and I aim to please!!
