How do I use your page?
My page is strictly a catalog. You can look up titles and get information about each title listed. This
is particularly helpful if you have one of these titles and aren’t certain what you have, if you’ve seen a
particular title on an e-commerce site, auction site, local music shop or in a friend’s collection and
would like to have more information about that title, or, if you just want more information about The
Who’s live recordings since their reputation for delivering a stellar live performance is unequaled.
Where can I find these CDs / LPs?
Most of the selling is done online via web sites and news groups.. Check the Record Shows and
Links pages for some places to start your search. Ebay has also been a good place to find some of
these as well inlcuding some very hard to find vinyl. Some music magazines also contain ads by
individuals looking to sell / trade. Try some of the many newsgroups (the ODDS & SODS NG is a
good place to get some real solid info.
Can you burn a CD-R or dub a tape for me?
On occasion I may - if I can find the time. People hit me up for a lot of stuff but I’ve also been
fortunate to have received a lot of material and so I do try to give back.
Do you do any trades?
My answer here is the same as for burning CD-R’s.
Can I take any of the graphics / pictures from your site?
No. but I can’t stop you, but you can bet I’ll do my best.
Will you send me pictures of covers, inserts or of a CD itself?
Are you kidding me?! Get real! Don’t even think about e-mailing me about that. You will NOT receive
a reply from me - EVER.
Why don’t you have a CD-R page anymore?
CD / LP and Tape collecting can be serious business requiring a lot of time and effort in order to
procure a low generation tape and the cost of acquiring CDs or LPs can be prohibitive. So, with that
in mind, I’ve decided to create a new page entitled ROIO (Recordings of Indeterminate Origin). This
page will be created and maintained by my friend Matt and will hopefully adequately address the
tape collectors and CD-R markets. Good luck Matt, you’re going to need it.
Why don’t you have a Video page anymore?
Videos are yet another horse from yet another stable. For now I’m only going to focus on the CD and
LP bootleg market. Perhaps later on I may revisit the idea of creating a Video page. However, if
someone is interested in putting together this information, I’ll be more than happy to format it and
fully integrate it into the present site and give you full credit for it. The only requirements are that the
material in question is from a factory pressed source and fits in with the design of my site...blah.
blah...blah...
What is your favorite Who Bootleg?
There are way too many to list here but of particular note are the CDs Live At Leeds Complete, the
double set Merry Christmas Mr. Who, Toronto 1975, Amazing Journey (Amsterdam Concertgebouw,
1969), Fillmore East, Demos for Quadrophenia and most of the “demos” CDs and LPs in general
(great stuff) as well as Tales From The Who and Charlton Uncut. On LP perhaps American Tour
1979, Swansea 1976. There are just too many to list. Suffice it to say I’m a huge fan of the 1968
through 1978 period (the Keith Moon era). Mind you, there are other incredible bootlegs from 1979 to
the current time but I’ve always been into the harder stuff. Merry Christmas Mr. Who (Edmonton
Sundown Theater, 1973) is a great performance despite the mediocre sound quality. If you listen to it
and you’re into the PT’s jams, this is a stellar Quadrophenia show. There are probably another 100
shows I could probably list but....

My Generation, Happy Jack, Sell Out, Tommy (all versions except the Broadway ver-
