| Quote (Bassman @ Mar. 10 2008, 19:13) | This is SUCH a pet peeve with me! We are all here basically because we are huge fans and students of the man's work. And yet with all this potential income the companies (particularly Virgin) have staring them in the face, they continually ignore what could ONLY be a win-win situation.
Personally, I have spent an embarrassingly large amount of money on MO (as well as others) over the years. The only "product" I don't have are items that are either no longer manufactured, or stuff that is not made available where I live for me to purchase. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, I am not taking any money out of MO's pocket by pursuing any means possible to "fill in the gaps". Even if I had the best-sounding mp3's in the world of his rare stuff I WOULD STILL BUY IT IN A HEARTBEAT, and I think that opinion is shared by a lot of people here. So bring on the 2x4's if I'm in the wrong, folks.
Okay, end of rant. I'm alright now. |
Yes, agree with you 100%.
I have managed to buy a few here and there, just compiled my first "Rarities" CD:
1 - Afghan
2 - Legend
3 - Concerto in C
4 - The Path
5 - Tricks of the Light (Instrumental)
6 - In the Pool
7 - Cook's Tune
8 - Spheres
9 - Sally / Punkadiddle
10 - Polka (Live)
Runs about 38 minutes, so a bit like an early 80s Mike album.
Bit late at the moment - will listen tomorrow - hope I got the flow sounding OK (thought the last 2 make a good encore).
Next, get my daughter to paint me another cover to go with the one she made for Collaborations (see the Boxed forums to see what that one looks like).

and then get a copy of the MP3 from anyone you know who has it - as long as you own the record you should be ok. There is nothing illegal about having a copy for your own use if you have the original - is there? But if you sell it you have to delete the MP3. And of course you can't sell copys of the MP3, that would be distinctly nasty.
