*NOTE* I am currently flooded with trades and B+P's. Sorry, no more B+P until this message disappears!

RULES!

1. I am in the process of removing all shows from my list that are flawed. I am 90% sure that I have removed them all, but I will check before each trade to be sure.

1A. Over 50% of the discs I've gotten lately have had some sort of flaw. From now on if you contact me, YOU send first. If you send me a disc that is flawed I will ask you to replace it before I send my end of the deal. I am sorry that it has come to this, but I have gotten too much garbage in trades lately. I understand that many source tapes from the 1970's have faults, and that's not the problem. The problem comes from flaws introduced in the ripping/burning phase.

1B. What I mean by flaws is tics, pops, static, and two-second gaps at the cue stops. I'm also talking about any pops, clicks, and other errors that aren't present on the source tape. I realize that some source tapes from the 1960's and 1970's sometimes have pops or other faults, I'm not worried about them.

2. I am only looking for cdrs with a known lineage from the master tapes/reels. I will sometimes accept cdrs of bootlegs depending on the title and/or rarity of the show.

2A. When it comes to the Grateful Dead, I am only interested in shows without cassette generations, except those shows where no other source is available. I am more lenient when it comes to the other bands.

3. I prefer to trade with people who care about quality. In other words, I do not want cdrs with pops, clicks, and dropouts. Use the proper software and take your time.

4. You MUST use DAO when burning! I do not want 2 second gaps between each track. This is important! I would prefer that you rip your cds with Exact Audio Copy.

5. I prefer to use brand name cdrs such as Kodak, Mitsui, etc. I am flexible to a point about what cdrs to use. Right now I am using Taiyo Yuden and TDK blanks.

6. I usually do not have time for 2:1 or B+P's, but it never hurts to ask!

7. When you contact me for a trade please mention what type of hardware/sofware you use to rip and burn. I have gotten some poor quality cdrs lately.

Are you confused? Here's some info:

DM = The master DAT
MR = The master reel
MC = The master cassette
RR = Reel-to-reel tape
C = Cassette
DAT = Digital Audio Tape
CDR = Compact Disc Recordable
SS = Sonic Solutions
CD = I own this original issue bootleg.
PCM = Recording made on the initial version of consumer digital audio.
SHN = Shorten compression format, no loss of quality.

EXAMPLES:

CD = I own this original bootleg
CD>CDR = I own a copy of this bootleg
MASTER>DAT>CDR = A cdr made from a DAT clone of the master
MASTER>C>CDR = A cdr made from a 1st generation cassette

*While I believe that the lineages are correct for the low gen shows on my list I do have to rely on the information that I get from the people I trade with. If you think any are incorrect and you have information to the contrary please drop me an email.*
