sounds like a cut and paste c, my guess is the seller took some songs like membership and fireworks from the plant studios recording and added semi-acoustic numbers like Grace to it.

Some dedicated Hip fan made that CD up a couple years ago.
He is in the trading community alot, but his name escapes me right now.
It is one of my top three favorite bootlegs.
I think it is a compilation of the radio shows they did for the Phantom Power tour.
Along with the studio outtakes of Blonde and Radio.
And the Swinging on a Star Get Back Again.

So are we ok with this being for sale on ebay? it is up to $28.99 US. I really don't like the idea of this being for sale but since it is a compilation does that make it ok?

It is a compilation of bootlegs.
Isn't it kinda like selling Roxy and Elsewhere?
Not good.

Here is the email I sent to the high bidder:
______________________
I see that you are the high bidder for this CD:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=307&item=4029444310&rd=1">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 44310&rd=1</a><!-- m -->
This is an illegal bootleg, and the seller has been reported to eBay.
This show can be had for free, via B&P (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcnichol.com/bnp">www.mcnichol.com/bnp</a><!-- w --> for details)
Check out my list of bootlegs here: members.rogers.com/hipboots
I have that show, and will gladly do a B&P with you.
Please cancel/withdraw your bid.

Thanks!
And I reported it via the link in my signature.

FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS!! Who the hell would pay FIFTY American dollars for this?! That's insane! Damn it, I wish that sh*t wasn't illegal...what a cash cow. But noooo...these "morals" get in the way :rambo:
Just kidding...I seriously wish EBAY could shut these auctions down more quickly. I have reported a lot lately and none of them crash. I think eBay takes this stuff a lot less seriously than it used to.

I emailed the high bidder on Friday. He emailed me, and cancelled his bid. I also asked him to email other bidders, which was done, as one of them just emailed me this morning for a B&P.
We can make a difference, it just takes patience.
