Re: Garden State Rockers
Ok so I guess Im naive about this but how can they get away with selling this ?? It’s not a dodgy bootleg from the back of a van, it’s a £50 product being sold in all good record shops etc etc..

Re: Garden State Rockers
There is a whole series of them, lost count of the number I have seen. Not just The Clash either lots of other bands being booted live.joe darkie wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020, 12:22pmOk so I guess Im naive about this but how can they get away with selling this ??

To answer your question, I don’t know. Probably too hard / expensive?

Re: Garden State Rockers
I don't think unreleased live stuff would be taking revenue away from the band unlike, say, t-shirts would. So probably not worth chasing up..joe darkie wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020, 12:22pmOk so I guess Im naive about this but how can they get away with selling this ??

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: Garden State Rockers
If Sony was actually bothering to administer the band's legacy correctly by releasing official live shows, it might be another matter, but I imagine the cost of following up at this point would just be money down the drain for a symbolic victory.Heston wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020, 3:52pmI don't think unreleased live stuff would be taking revenue away from the band unlike, say, t-shirts would.

Re: Garden State Rockers
There's a soundboard CD readily available rather than ripping the audio from DVD
