> Your chance to own the radio shows that have been on your fan discography
> for years.  Authentic 15-year-old radio shows on vinyl records with
> original commercials.  I have been emailing fan page webmasters for
> weeks, letting them have "first crack" at these shows and I’ve sold off a
> sizeable portion of my collection.  But they all must go and preferably,
> go before January 1, 1998, so I am offering them on the usenet.

> All vinyl is visually-graded Mint (I have never played any- found these
> when I moved into my new place), these were originally stored in paper
> sleeves w/ handwritten names of the bands and the cue sheets inside the
> paper sleeves, so there may be slight friction there, fyi.  If you must
> know the quality, I can check, but to be blunt I expect the demand to be
> high for these, based on the copious amounts of email I have received so
> far.  I cannot "hold" these or "reserve" these while you decide and leave
> others hanging.  If you are ordering, please email me with your name and
> address and the shows you want.  I will put those as ‘claimed’ for the
> period of 7 days.  That should be enough time for you to get the check or
> money order and get to the post office and get the letter to me (Foreign
> orders, check with me).  I received one check the day after I responded
> to an email, it can be done.  So if you’re just a casual fan, please let
> the rabid fans get to the shows first.        If a lot of people want one show
> (and I get all the emails in the same day), I may auction it off.  In the
> past month, I had maybe 1 in 5 orders go bad and then I had to go back
> and tell the dedicated buyers that yes, the record they wanted really was
> available after all.  Also, please bear with me when you email.  It can
> take a day or to for me to go through the 20-30 emails per day that these
> lists usually generate.  I will respond …
>
> The BBC Rock Hours contain either live sets or interviews.  I have not
> listened to these, so I am not familiar with which shows are which.  You,
> the fans of the bands, have kept track of that much better- there is much
> info available online.
>
> These will all be shipped in corrugated record mailers with cardboard
> liners.  I have shipped records for years when I worked with labels.
> Shipping charge: $3 shipping per show, $0.75 for postal insurance.
> Contact me for other options.
>
> Feel free to ask any questions.  Feel free to make an offer for large
> orders.  I have done mail-order for 8 years.
> This list is good until December 6, 1997, so you have 13 days.  After that
> they may be sold offline or at auction.
