BTW, the Monterey footage guy never responded to my email. Ah well...
When was the last time you were in contact with this guy? And how much does he want? It is just down the coast from here, maybe I should drive over there with a bag of cash and see if he can resist that.

I really want this out there, we've waited long enough.
I think 2013. His company isn’t around anymore so his email doesn’t work. I haven’t looked hard but I have not been able to track down any new contact.

I offered $1K which he not so politely declined. Unfortunately for him, I’m not as flush with cash these days so i wouldn’t be able to take him up on it now.

You in the SF area?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Did he retire or something? Maybe someone else has the physical copies and rights now.

He got rude? Seriously, these people man. lol. Did he give any indication on what he thinks he can get for it? I think eventually he (or someone) will realize that a little is more than nothing. It' has been over 40 years, and it is not going to get any better.

If it comes down to it I might be willing to part with some amount of money to make this happen. But he needs to be reasonable first. I moved down to Santa Cruz a few years back, but yeah I am still in the *general* area.

Which book was it, by the way? Juliet Naked?
Yes. Don't tell me you've read it and could have impersonated me in the correspondence. :mrgreen:
All right, I won't tell you then. ;)

Nah, actually I considered reading it but then thought the story sounded a bit contrived. So what was the reasoning behind all this? I don't get it.
He seemed to think wanting to hear these songs was very trainspotter-ish. And internet forums were evil places that Joe would have hated. That Joe was a guy who dealt with things in real life, like handing the tape to him in person. He then instructed me to read the book and get back to him. Like I say, fucking mad as a bag of kippers.
This is an absolutely insane story. Yet I am so not surprised. Think of it as a Guy Stevens/Bernie kind of experience. Power through it and the result will be worth it :)

You have to do this though, read the book man! Or fake it using someone who has read it already as someone suggested :)

Thank you for these two songs! I always loved Stay Free, this is such a cool version. I'll try to find Markys fixed up versions.

Don't think I didn't seriously consider it. I would kill to hear the rest of that tape. But I've got a bit of self-respect too. Way too much to be jumping through hoops for some wannabe Bond villain.

I didn't reveal all our full conversation, but believe me, he was batshit crazy. Anyone else is welcome to contact him, I'd supply the details.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Oh I can believe the crazy. And I get it, I am useless talking to crazy people myself. And I would certainly not like being jerked around in some weird power play. You are off the hook :)

But yeah, there has to be someone here with some experience navigating this kind of situation.

I picked up that book because of this thread (and because I like High Fidelity) just out of curiosity. I'll let you know how it is.

I liked High Fidelity too :) I started one of his others once but gave up after a couple of pages when I realized the book was all about football, I have zero interest in any sports whatsoever. I am curious what you think of this one.

Just to clarify, this is the man I was suggesting to do our negotiating, not the man with the tape. This is our very own eumaas. :lol:
