Retrospect Records

They might as well be - they don't pay the artists OR their publishers and most of those copyrights held by Atlantic are LONG past due.

Still working on it. A lot of things have been put into place but there's still work to be done. I like to try and get involved in a number of festivals.

After 10 years I thought you would have realized now that EVERY rare cd thats ever been released will be booted OR officially re-released sooner or later. It's GOING to happen. If someone's precious $1000 cd just got devalued then I don't really have any sympathy....rare cd's NEED to be available at affordable prices for everyone to enjoy...not just for bragging rights. I bet I could ask a few questions and see if you own a boot or two. Do you own any of the HEAVEN cd's? TUFF LUCK? Any WOUNDED BIRD releases?

He was unique alright.

I assume that was a shot at me SUICIDE , not fucking cool. I don't know why you have this vendetta against me but whatever dude. EVERYONE sells boots....EVERYONE. I don't know anyone that hasn't or doesn't have a boot in his collection. It's not like you can't tell the difference between an original and a knock-off. It's one thing to boot shit thats been OOP for years and years , it's another to boot shit that's currently available. Let's make that clear. File-sharing is a bullshit avenue as well. There's FAR MORE people downloading for free than peeps booting product. Do I feel guilty about selling a few boots ? NOPE. I sure don't. Cuz I'd rather people get cd's for $10 than have to fork out hundreds to a zealous seller. There are dozens of people on this site who are guilty of selling boots , and in fact I exposed the big bootlegging ring that perpetuated this website for years. IT HAPPENS. As a music collector of over 15,000 cd's , i could care less about the origins - I wanna hear good shit. I have yet to unleash my rarities upon the world , but you're gonna see some amazing stuff. Does anyone REALLY believe all those Rock Candy cd's are legit? Ummmm NO. SO someone is making cash off it. It's up to the bands to deal with it. Personally , I much prefer signing an act , giving them the best royalty rate of any re-issue label , and working closely with them on the release.

Got a killer line-up for Rocklahoma 2013. I think everyone would be really impressed.

Advice - Stormy is right - become a VERO member on eGay and any seller in England or Latvia or Belarus who's selling them for about $6.99 a pop - VERO IT!

Suicide , Kivel , Stormspell - I get AZ-INTEX cd's all the time at the rate of about $1.25 per disc. They have also booted Retrospect cd's too. THey manufacture them from the original , usually 1,000 copies , and make all the cash. We will never stop them doing what they do. They have a massive operation and own their own factory. Just know that out of respect , I will never purchase cd's from them that your companies have released. (LOL - I remember when that numbnut from Canada claimed I owned a factory in Russia - what a buffoon...)

3rd rate Pantera with awful guitar players....not to mention those dudes are DICKS.

nothing!

totally

Please note that the scene definitely look like 1990-1991.

Ok to clarify. The DVD is called Erotic Dancer World Championship. It's a dual-sided dvd and on the other side is "previews" of other Vivid Interactive Dvd's. Well , it's from one of the scenes of the "previews". Well , I found the director of the dvd on facebook but I'm yet to hear back. I think with a lot of emails and inquiries I can find out who this band is. It really sounds like a great band IMO.

The movie was produced in the early 90s. Player Home Video , maybe even Peach productions and re-released by Vivid DVD in 2000. All are out of business it seems. But maybe credits will help. I'll give it a shot.

Download Quicktime!!

New singer is GEORGE CALL from ASKA - that guy is amazing. I've had ASKA at Rocklahoma twice now.

FUUUUUCK. This will be one of those mysteries that will end up like that SURRENDER release.

no credits at all - doesnt it sound great? Has to be an American band.

googled what?

When I use this link - it works fine for me www.retrospectrecords.com/auctions/whoisthis.mp3 My Quicktime player opened it.

dammit - I dont know what to do to make it easier. It looks as if its a QuickTime file. Any suggestions?

Very Cool FnA - looks like I got some competition! I better put out a dozen January 1st. LOL. Congrats brutha.

Oh man - I could fucking go off on this thread! I could mention Rob Zombie and every grunge band but it's a given they suck King Kong's nutsack. I would mention the godawful Stikki Fykk but we know they suck turds. So I am gonna be really fucking bold here and nominate: GUNS N FUCKING POSERS. I don't give a FUCK how good that first album is - Axl has the worst voice EVER in rock music - sounds like a cat getting castrated. Not to mention he's a complete cock. I was never a huge fan of the "GLAM" sound but Nuns and Posers make Poison tolerable. FUCK OFF!!!

Guys , I just heard a KILLER AOR tune while watching an early 90s EROTIC DANCER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP dvd (lol). Tell me who it is!!! (THIS IS NOT LION , it sounds more like Aviator or Tobruk) Here's the lyrics to the massive chorus: don't surrender , don't give in without a fight only one way to survive , you've got to fight Anybody recognize it??? copy and paste this link (might need to start with http:// www.retrospectrecords.com/auctions/whoisthis.mp3 free cd to the person who can tell who it is $100 to the person who leads me to finding and signing this band (if they havent already got a cd out)

just figured out how to upload the song for you guys to hear
