Wants List

 
  • All recordings are for TRADE only! Any requests to purchase any recording will be ignored.

  • I do not use a rating system since they are VERY listener subjective and can be inconsistent.

  • Equal Trade: You have music I want, I have music you want. We both record them onto agreed media, and send them to each other.

  • Unequal Trade: You do not have music I want, I will trade for blanks (i.e. 2:1). Depending on the media (CDR Cassette or Minidisc), if you want 1 recording, send me etc. Blanks should be 2 blanks. You get 1 and I keep 1 to cover shipping and materials. If you want 2 recordings, send 4 blanks, etc. Blanks should be new and unopened .

  • All media should be sent in a box or padded mailing envelope. These mailers can also be used many times over so please reuse your mail bags as many times as possible. I will print covers with set lists (for both tapes and CD's MD's will include a setlist) for everything I send out. I will expect the same from you. I will mail cases for Tapes & Minidiscs but NOT CDs .

  • Please ensure that you tell me what media you require in any request to trade.
