1. I have to say thank you for ALL your sharing. Really appreciated! I also have to ask, why are the files not labeled? 7 disc set and none of the tracks have names… Why is that?

   1. Basically, I’m a middle man. I’m not a taper, I don’t buy bootlegs on CD or vinyl and then convert them to FLAC. I don’t even originate new torrents. I get this music from torrents, from other bootleg blogs like mine and from collector friends. I take what they give me and pass it on as is. That way no one can complain I screwed up the lineage or any other thing.

2. Hi – thank you! Great to have all these odds and ends in one place. I have the first 3 on CD, but then I gave up trying to find the others, so this is a nice solution.

3. Oh my goodness, this is amazing. I have a lot of this on vinyl, and some of it on low-bitrate MP3, so I can’t thank you enough for making this available in digitized FLAC. Thanks so much Mat!

4. This is such a great collection. I edited the info to put all the sources of songs next to the names. If this is redundant or too long, etc, of course feel free to delete.
