This Music Belongs To The Artists, So I Don't Sell This Music, Only Trading, when you agree with my rules
When you are the performing band or artist, and you feel offended by trading your bootlegs please let me know
If you have questions about quality, please ask before we set up a trade, to prevent misunderstandings I Am Now Looking For:
Heart - Animal Instinct
All bootz from Pinkpop, Anouk, Heather Nova, Nightwish, Garbage, that are not on my list
Rules:
This Music Belongs To The Artists, So I Don't Sell This Music, Not For Money And No B&P, Only Trading
If you have questions about quality, please ask before we set up a trade, to prevent misunderstandings, this is really important!
If you request a trade, you send first, be honest, and tell me if there's anything you think I should know about the shows we trade.
Ask if there's something you're in doubt of.
I use Branded Cdr - Taiyo Yuden, TDK, Verbatim (Extra Protection Surface), Fuji (Ritek) or Platinum prof. and Burn DAO, I expect you do also, no gaps. For DVD's I use Fuji (Taiyo Yuden). and RitekG05 printable DVD-R
1CDR for 1CDR, 1DVD for 1DVD or 2CDR (not 3CDR)
Never write on the disks, just enclose a post-it note to every show containing date and location of the gig
Send a mail after you send your CD's and after you recieved your CD's
I don't send jewel cases (they get mostly broken) as this just increases the postage costs
and I will E-Mail Art and Tracklists if I have them, I never send the artwork with the CD's
Dates on my trading list are dd-mm-yyyy date format
I don't like trading by FTP or other than by post
And don't email me if you don't like or accept my rules

Tips for Beginners
I started few years ago, buying original bootlegs at music-fairs and eBay. I asked people by email with my short list, made in Word for a possible trade. Most people who i send an email this way told me to put my list on a website. Try to get some originals and make a homepage. Most people are not intrested in B&P (blancs and Postage) trading or in mp3-sourced trading. Burning discs takes a lot of time (at 2 or 4 speed) and blancs we have enough. So please do not do this.
