Off: MQB

[Tim]

let's throw another opinion into the fire. i do own the S/T and ~Definitive Unsolved...~
cds,one i bought all the way from New Zealand and the other from Aural Innov.(after Hardy kindly let me know they were available from there). I hope to go the the 11/3
concert in st.pete and even if i don't,would buy a live album of any show from them.
however,owning a cd-r copy supplied by someone else would also be nice,as i
have no taping or cd burning capabilities of my own(too high tech for this old geezer)
and it's not as if doug was selling the copies,but merely 'sharing the wealth' as it
were,with those less fortunate. IMHO
