My
Collection
This is my own list of what can be called 'a collection'. Any of the
items included here is not for sale and I haven't got any information
how these recordings may be found. I'm a trader and fan of music.
Trading means free, legal exchange of fan-made concert tapes, radio
or TV broadcasts and material that was never - and will never be -
officially released. Below is my own collection of Led Zeppelin underground
tapes and also this is my personal view of how the professional bootleg
collection should be look like. (For more detailed informations about
how to collect bootlegs please visit Collector's
Guide of ZeppelinArt site.)
As I said before, I don't collect Led Zeppelin's music for 'having'
them on my shelf. I'm a connosieur of their music and if I decide
to buy an original silver, I do it very, very carefuly and slowly.
Further more, I'm still searching for more complete versions of tapes
listed here so most of my collection is 'movable' as well. Many titles
presented here are now out of my collection and they will be replaced
by an upgrated versions very soon.
At this moment I am not an active trader but I am always very interest
of having any new titles. Due to the time required to manage my own
responsibilities I am usually very busy and trading will take me some
time although all requests will be fulfilled. Below list is sorted
by date. All the titles are marked blue and media marked red means
an original.
My
Own Trade Rules
General
1.
I trade at a 1/1 rate, be they CD-R or DVD-R. I'd now prefer to trade
CD-R/DVD-R full of FLAC/SHN/APE files, but I'll happily still do the
odd CD-R audio trade here and there. I'm also up for online trades
(via Bittorrent, FTP, DC++ etc).
2. I use EAC
(Exact Audio Copy) in Secure Mode (read/write offsets corrected) to
extract WAV files onto my hard drive and then burn using DAO (Disc-At-Once)
at 4x speed. When it comes to live recordings, please always use the
DAO mode to avoid the 2 second gaps between the tracks.
3. No MP3 sourced material. In the past I was not intentionally trading
with MP3 sourced material, but now I have the ability to detect (in
most cases) whether a show has an MP3 lineage or not. There still
may be some of my shows that are actually sourced that way (unknown
to me at the time) and it will be indicated in the comments section,
these will be removed whenever I come across them. If I find what
you have sent me is from MP3 I will stop trading with you automatically.
4. Use a decent media to burn onto please. I use, in most cases, only
high quality Japanese media but I'd also now prefer few of other media
such as Verbatim. Anyway I expect the people to trade with to do the
same.
5. Any faulty discs from my side will be replaced by me and I expect
the same from you.
6. Do not use jewel cases. Just paper sleeves and envelopes. Please
do not write on the discs, either a post-it or a slip of paper in
the case will suffice. Before sending discs, please take so care with
the package.
7. I do not trade any offficial material. Please support the artist(s)
and buy their official output from your local store(s).
B&P
Policy
At
this moment (due to many personal resposibilities) I haven't got the
time and energy to undertake any B&Ps.
This may change in the future. When it does it will appear here.
Sound
Quality
One
person's ear may hear things differently to someone else so there's
no "set rules" regarding sound quality. My ratings are given
based on the same used on my Help!
section, but here's a qucik guide so you have a rough ide where I'm
coming from:
-
SUPERB
(12-11) - usually reserved for "official release quality"
material only
-
EXCELLENT
(10-09) - top quality, no noise/distortion at all
-
VERY
GOOD (8-7) - generally good but not professional quality, possible
very slight noise/distortion
-
GOOD
(6-5) - all instruments audible with excessive hiss, some compressed
sound or distortion or fair instruments balance and sound quality
below average
-
FAIR
(4-3) - poor balance, at least one instrument inaudible, bad distortion
-
POOR
(2-1) - only main instrument clearly audible, very distorted with
bad hall ambience or virtually inaudible
Select
the year that you are ineterested in and try to choose the title you
are looking for or just browse each section to find the one you are
interested.
