Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[mary sullivan]

I'm so glad you and Scott got to get together, when he lived here we had a
lot of good times, Chris wasn't at that show.  My first boots were about 15
years older.  There's 1 that sounded terrible but they do a great Inter
stellar overdrive, and announce it by saying we used to do this when we were
teen-agers, there was a lot of cool instrumental stuff, a version of Embryo,
and some acoustic stuff, kind of like Crumbling Land, or the stuff from the
beginning of side 4 of Ummagumma.

my very first boots were The Doors "Matrix" show (Back Trax CD) and some
Italian Doors CDs i got at Wild Mind in Oslo. Also Monster Magnet live 1992
i got in East Village, some Nirvana demos in early 1991 on a cassette before
Nevermind blew the head off the rock public. Also some silver HW CDs, mid
90s and my first request on BOC-L was a tape of the Limelight 95 show i was
at and i hooked up with Scott H. in 1996.
