Re: Jamaica 82 Festival

Wouldn't it be easier to just ask? I'm not sure excactly what you're asking, Olaf, but the scammer I'm referring to is only interested in acquiring rare, uncirculated items so that he can show proof that he has them and try to sell "copies" to unsuspecting collectors, asking for ridiculous money (t...

Re: Jamaica 82 Festival

Just a word of caution, there has been a scammer hitting several band websites (like The Who, The Doors, The Beatles, etc.) lately, claiming to have rare material in hopes of tricking people into trades (he got 5 rare Who DVDs from me, including their complete Hammersmith '79 show), so be careful of...

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

Gutted - the used cd store clerk has just told my friend in Bridlington that he can't "locate" the Brid '81 master tape. The clerk was either a liar or didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. My friend is ready to strangle him. Anyways, I'm quite disappointed this didn't work out. Hopefully ...

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

I was at both the Brid gigs so this would be a biggie for me, fingers crossed. Fond memories of missing the last number 121 bus home and walking the 12 miles back to Driffield LOL! My friend over in Brid makes deliveries to Driffield all the time. He told me yesterday that he was out on a delivery ...

Re: a steal at £5,000.00

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. Aren't there any serious deep pocketed Clash collectors out there interested? This is usually the type of item that serious collectors drool over.

This is one of my very favorite Clash boots - great year, great set, and great sound quality!

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

It still sounds promising to me, Matedog. When my friend in Brid was looking for some Clash cds in a used record/cd store, he said the store helper volunteered the information that his brother taped the '81 Brid show and that he would sell my friend a copy (with artwork!). Apparantly the store helpe...

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

Damn - I just heard from my friend in Bridlington and the guy with this "supposed" Brid recording is putting him off until next week (isn't that how it usually goes with this type of thing!) - we're both annoyed as hell. I'll update more when I find out something more concrete.

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

Just got an e-mail from my friend in Brid - he's supposed to get the Brid '81 recording on Thursday, so hopefully I'll have some actual details on the recording in a few days. Big E Please don't be like that dude who was all "I had amazing financial offers for these tapes!" and screw with us. I'd l...

Re: Bridlington Spa 10/10/81 recording?

I'm a big Who collector (plus a Clash collector too, lol!) and I was speaking with one of my best Who contacts today who lives over in Bridlington, UK (I'm in the U.S.) and he told me one of his good friend's brother recorded the Clash's Brid show in '81 and was going to get a copy from his master ...

Pardon me for being behind, but what's the deal with Carbon Silicon - is Mick finished with that or just taking a break?
