| --- WILL ONLY TRADE FOR ERIC CLAPTON & JIMI HENDRIX --- [HELP FOR NEW TRADERS] a. do not ship cd's wrapped in a piece of paper, or use a piece of paper between cd's - paper can scratch cd's! b. always use a cd sleeve! c. use anything to package them tight, this is very important! d. putting 2 or 3 cd's in one sleeve, or envelope is okay - remember, anything so the cd's cannot move. THIS IS HOW I SEND DISCS: 1. I USUALLY SHIP ALL MY DISCS IN A 6X9 ENVELOPE WITH THE DISCS BETWEEN CARDBOARD. PROTECTIVE SLEEVES ARE ALWAYS USED. 2. I PACK MY ENVELOPE TIGHT, SO THAT DISCS CAN'T MOVE AROUND. 3. USUALLY I DO NOT WRITE ON THE SURFACE OF ANY CD. THE ALBUM DATE IS LISTED IN SOME FORM ON A POST IT ON THE DISC 4. I DO NOT INCLUDE INSERTS OR JEWEL CASES. IF YOU REQUEST IT, I WILL EMAIL A TRACK LISTING. 5. I ALWAYS RECORD DIGITALLY DIRECT TO CD. I DO NOT PREFER ANALOG CD COPIES (ASK!). AS YOU KNOW, PLEASE ALWAYS USE "DAO" (DISC-AT-ONCE) WHEN RECORDING. MOST OF THE TIME I USE BASIC COMPLETELY BLANK 80-MIN. CDs. I AM NOT TOO PARTICULAR ON CD BRANDS, JUST AS LONG AS THEY DON'T SKIP. 6. ONLY CD-R's ARE ACCEPTED. NO AUDIO TAPES ARE ACCEPTED. 7. I AM HONEST IN MY TRADING! I HAVE COMPLETED ABOUT (300) TRADES SO FAR WITH NO COMPLAINTS. 8. This is the standard rating system for Bootlegs: AUD, means an audience recording, SB means a Soundboard recording. For both 1 is the lowest, and 6 is the unofficial highest rating, hence AUD4 would only be an average recording. Any show that's rated 3+ (SB/AUD) or above can almost always be very easy to listen to. Unless you are a diehard collector, I would avoid anything 3- or under. As always, sound quality differs - even in the same show sometimes. If you do not understand the ratings, feel free to ask. [EASY TO UNDERSTAND SOUND RATINGS] SB6 - CRYSTAL CLEAR, NEAR OFFICIAL RELEASE QUALITY SB5 - EXCELLENT SOUND, PERHAPS SLIGHT ANALOG NOISE SB4 - LISTENABLE, BUT QUALITY IS CLEARLY LESS SB3 - LOW VOLUME, POOR QUALITY SB2 - RARE RATING, A DIFFICULT LISTEN SB1 - EXTREMELY RARE AUD6 - CLEAR SOUND, DEEP BASS, NO DEFECTS AUD5 - VERY GOOD QUALITY, BUT SOME DISTANCE MIGHT BE NOTICED AUD4 - VERY COMMON RATING, CLAPPING NEAR THE TAPER ALMOST ALWAYS IS HERE AUD3 - BARELY LISTENABLE, SOUND IS TOO LOW OR DISTORTED AUD2 - VOCALS MIGHT BE HEARD OKAY, BUT MOST OTHER THINGS ARE DISTORTED AUD1 - VERY POOR, INAUDIBLE |
