Oh, did I mention I have the extra special "mispressing" limited
edition of that very same bootleg?  Mine has the exclusive "spelling
mistake" version of the track list!  ("Starfire Mountain Dreaming" is
misspelled as "Starfire Mountain Deraming.")

This is EXREMELY LIMITED.  (The word "HAWKWIND" even glows when you
hold it at the right angle.)  Nobody else has this.  You NEED it.
And it can be YOURS for the right price (oh, and as soon as it
finishes burning and the injet finishes spewing out that special
limited edition artwork;)...

Well, it seems from the bidding history that you bumped it up to $45
(your final bid being $44).  The poor sod who bought it took it with a
"winning bid" of $51.  Add to that the $3.20 in S&H, and it's his (or
hers) for the bargain price of only $54.20... for an audience
recording of a SINGLE CD!!

Who said crime doesn't pay?... >;-)

Cheers,

Paul.
