Funny, it's a nightmare. I'm still trying to come to grips with it after 4 years of living here. How on earth can Mädchen , the german for Girl, be masculine? Thank god English got rid of genderisation years ago.

Just seen Night of the Crime is going to be re-released in the UK. Great album.

Y & T - Contagious

CD printing and replication technology has gotten so good and so inexpensive, that sometimes it's hard for the vendors themselves to be able to tell what is legit and what isn't. Especially if it's a disc that you only physically see once every several years. Y Kant Tori Read was released as a legitimate pressing at one time, but very scarce. -Dan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bad Engish on my part. I meant to say my copy is a bootleg, my first sentance looks like I was looking to buy it. I love my rock but Tori is my first love.

Cinderella - Still climbing

I've just been looking for some info on Tori Amos's first album (Y kant Tori Read). Outer edge of HH stuff but a very good album all the same. It's a bootleg! I bought it from WOM (World of Music) in the Centre of Munich. I guess the german equivelent of HMV or Virgin. I must admit I was surprised to find the CD but I had always assumed it was a re-release. I've now found it's a very good, but known, German booty. How often do major record chains sell bootlegs? Who can you trust?

Doesnt matter much to me if it is *FREE* delivery when their prices start from J10, which is $19. I'm cheap person <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's nonesence isn't it. Why are prices so varied over the world? With the dollar big slide it really is now cheeper for me to buy CD's from the US and have them shipped 6000KM, even without free shipping. I just have to be patient and wait 10 days.

Funny how some people get upset because music is labelled as a different genre. I love Pearl Jam myself. Anyway , just playing Company of Wolves S/T.

But if somethings good and your a collector surely it becomes worthless after you buy it as you'll never sell it? I have stuff I know I'll probably never listen to ever but there's just no way I can bring myself to sell it.

Robert Plant - Manic Nirvana

David Lee Roth - Donnington 1988 radio recording

Princess Pang - Bradford Queens Hall 10.3.90

Junkyard / Junkard. Totally forgot about this one. Not a bad album at all.

Jimmy Page - Outrider

Cinderalla - Still Climbing

Quireboys (London! , I wonder how embarased a bunch of lads for Newcastle were about that one?) Leeds Poly 31-10-89

Kings X - Self made bootleg Manchester International II 30-4-90

I think I'll be following you down the mothermetal route very soon. It really does look a good deal. Nice pic by the way. I really love Kings of the Sun.

Rock City Angels - The Demo Album

Well, in all fairness, most sellers use bulk listing software of some sort to upload and start their auctions en masse, rather than manually start them one by one. So, as fast as Ebay can list them, the auctions start -- and end -- at approximately the same time. Yes, you can schedule auctions to start at various times, but (1) that's a pain in the ass, and (2) scheduled auction times are an additional fee from Ebay. You should either make your bids in advance, instead of waiting for the ending time, or use a sniping service. I've been using esnipe.com for several years. Either way, I would not be blaming the seller... -Dan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course your right but maybe things are different here in Germany? You have to pay 10 cents to say when you want an aution to start. If this is the same guy , and I think it is, that's a lot of 10 cents considering from what I saw only 1 in 10 of his auctions got a bid. Either that or, being in St Petersberg, he just stayed up until 11 or 12 and started his auctions then. I havn't seen anybody else who has done the same type of selling so agrressivly on the German ebay , I get the impression there are a lot more in the US? Perhaps, as someone who was brought up in England, my view is slightly different on the gray import questions. Ever since CD'S came out the UK and European prices have been a lot higher. I work for an American firm so whenever I can I buy in the US. I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for record companies as they operate a cartel and make huge amounts from that cartel. Why is it Illegal to import from Russia , if it indeeed is? Because they want to keep the cartel going. If the price of CD's in the UK and Europe were cheeper there would be no need for the Gray imports. I can see that your prices in the US are a lot more reasonable so the question is a little different but at the end of the day we've built a global economy and must live with the consequences of that. We all love cheep clothes but it means the firm I work for shifting work from Delaware to China for example. The thing I really don't get at all is the price of MP3's. So a CD costs 15 Euro new here. An MP3 version costs about 10-12. No storage , no raw material, no distributer etc etc. I doubt very much the artist gets to see any more.

You learn something every day. I tried that earlier but now I realise the search is configurable as to which section it searches. Now I get a lot more. Bloody new users hey. A few excited people on the topic I see :-) Nice pic by the way.

Does anybody know if this site really is ligit? The price looks too good to be true given that most mp3 sites charge around 1 Euro a song here. I've seen they have been going for years though so I'm tempted to give it a go. Has anybody got anything good/bad to say about them?

Same theme but different source. I today recieved a copy of LA Guns Hollywood Raw from a company called DVD legacy in the US. Cost me 12 Euro's including shipping , a great price. I'll use them again, they were in amazon.de. I've been annoyed by this Russian guy for some time though. Certianly in Germany he lists 50 or 100 CD's all ending at the same time and does this a few times an evening. I quite like browsing the closing items to try and pick stuff up and he made it a nightmare.
