Well, as we've decided that CDR trading is alright...

[Vivaldinization]

I *really need* the following...help would be gratefully appreciated:

Bowie's "Hunky Dory" Au20 Gold.

George Harrison "All Things Must Surface"

Beatles "30 days" (yeah, 17 discs is a lot, but I can't find original sets anywhere, and $300 is a LOT of money!)

Whatever the Silent Sea AHDN compilation is (I know it's two-discs...it has the film mixes, which I don't have on disc)

I'm also always looking for Radiohead bootlegs, but I doubt this is the place for that.


Anyway, only CDRs, please...and not interestedin things sourced from MP3. If you can help, please do email me at ksg1-2@yifan.net . Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

What's on the 30 Days set?

[Sckott]

The complete recorded Twickenham from 1969, along with the rooftop concert, all from the mono reels that ran continuously by Michael Linsay-Hogg's camera crew. You can hear synch beeps, camera number posts, and background chatter. A lot of this material is good, with some really uncomfortable moments while John and Paul were vying for jam "space", some bickering, Paul's big-headded ideas (at the time - how to use the cameras) and sometimes some good jams.

Chronologically, some of these sessions became the 1st ever performed occasions where they did songs that ended up on Abbey Road and Let It Be.

If you don't like listening to "Two Of Us" and "I've Got A Feeling" about 40-50 times though the set, then don't bother.

Otherwize, for only a die-hard Beatles fan who enjoys that seperating period very much, it's a great running account of what happened. The Beatles played, and the camera's tapes got most of it all, good and bad, for DAYS worth of tapes.

I only have about 45% of the whole set. Mine was sourced form Mp3 though. Not like it matters; the quality of the sound AND the overwhelming length of the set was NOT unreasonable for high-encoded MP3 @ Mono. Again, these are camera tapes for camera/sound synchs in making the film, which was basically in mono. I look at it as historical footage, and it's not at all audiophile delight, even in its original form.

Doesn't sound any better than the Vigitone "Get Back Sessions" of lore. It's just meant to be more complete than any previous form of that recorded package. Vigitone did a bunch of bootlegs on that Twickenham tape storage, but NEVER at this level. It's a huge F--ing set, and can never be listened to from cover to cover. You'll need to eat, shave, go to the bathroom and go out for groceries about a dozen times before the Cd player carosel stops running. Oh, and the set reveals some instances where Lewoshin was wrong a few times in his book about this period of time. The tapes run in chronological order, going from CD to CD. Hope this helps. Check down
this list (http://www.bootlegzone.com/beatleg/1-vigo.htm) of the 17CDR set there.

30 Days isn't quite complete...for that, you have to go to Yellow Dog's COMPLETE TWICKENHAM SESSIONS or Get Back Day by Day.

I remember when a CDR tree was announced last year for this set. A massive endeavor. Even if each branch had only five leaves, you're talking about each branch copying and mailing 85 discs.
