I'm camping out tonight in order to buy tickets for my dad and I to see Seger in Boston! WOOOO!!
Here's the update on the Scott Richardson stuff: I listened to the CD and it's GREAT! But there is one problem... the CD didn't burn right! So what I'm doing is getting together with a trading buddy in Finland who is going to send me a copy of BOTH Scott Richardson albums (both of which are OOP and I feel OK sending you).
Instead of your compilations, why don't we talk about some vinyl? I'll offer up both Scott Richardson disks & 3 Seger bootlegs:
-May 14th 1974 Orphanage Club, San Francisco, CA (KSAN radio broadcast)
-July 8th 1974 @ Ebbet's Field, Denver CO - Get Out Of Denver
I also have a double disk from Boston but I don't have the details handy.
What I'm interested in are other bootlegs that I don't have, or rare / OOP vinyl in good condition. Let me know what ya think!!!
Wow, what a trip back for both of you that'll be.
Don't you find it a little more than just *interesting* these old timers are selling out anytime they decide to come out of retirement?
Gee, wonder what it means. /sar :o)

A *defective* CD you bought after market?
Bummer.
Finland, huh.
Didn't think Finland had anything besides fish & F1A drivers. :o)
"Instead of your compilations, why don't we talk about some vinyl? I'll offer up both Scott Richardson disks & 3 Seger bootlegs..."
Thank you for your generous, and creative offer my friend.
However there's something telling me I should just hang onto 'em.
Heard the same "voice" speaking to me on a 1980 Corvette I own (among others, now sold) which sits in my 3rd garage bay, unused, while I enjoy my 2006 Z51. ;^)
"What I'm interested in are other bootlegs that I don't have, or rare / OOP vinyl in good condition. Let me know what ya think!!!"
I sincerely think anything I've got couldn't be considered "rare", let along in "good" condition per se.
Nevertheless I'm just hanging on to 'em since they're stored away for >?< .
Talking about rare -- & from one collector to another -- listen to this.
For years I've enjoyed the Jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson.
Really what I wanted was a long version of "Bouquet" which appeared on an album called, Happenings.
A now long lost acquaintance of mine used the piece as his opening for his radio show on WUWM, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's public radio station.
Couldn't get the tune outa my head, a genuine "ear worm".
I went on a *crusade* to locate a copy of this album which had longggggg been out of print.
The only copies I could find were priced at $10,000!!
I was prepared to layout good cash, but not that good.
Because of some legal baloney Hutcherson wasn't -- I thought -- going to be giving his "OK" for a remake of the album and given what the market wanted I simply wrote off the notion of ever having that one & went on with life.
Years later (through a weird turn of fate) I find myself living in Urbana, Illinois (for all practical purposes the end of the earth, or minimally North Korea).
The pits.
While rooting around the CDs at -- of ALL places -- Best Buy what do I find, yea, Happenings.
I kid-you-not.
Apparently Hutcherson approved a very limited run of the CD & I bought it with absolute glee even though the version of "Bouquet" on this release was an abbreviated one.
Now days one can go to Amazon & buy this album as well as an "import" version with the long version of my beloved "Bouquet", just as the original album had.
Obviously BobbyH changed his mind.
...when his money was running out? ;^)
