Heartland

My client would want a pledge that no other copies have been made.

can you convert them to mp3 format first

These are studio master tapes not cassettes !!

very much so. are you?

To an extent.

Has a price been agreed or are we still in negotiation?

you haven't offered me anything yet. The master tapes can't be copied so your 'client' has no worries there.
Are you a friend of Mr Ray?

You haven't asked me for anything.

Maybe it would be a better question posed to the elusive Mr Ray.

We have met.[/quote]

Flippin' 'eck.

If I ever accused Heartland's inner circle of being cloak and dagger, I take it back. This one makes your smoke and mirrors look like open discussion

In that case better make it realaudio.

all I am trying to is acquire these demos ( for the good of you all) from Mr Ray in exchange for something he might want. I now feel like I'm going to get a visit from the KGB !

Sorry if it sounded like that.

All in jest, I assure you

All that i ask is that no copies would be made.

It's a fair request.

I know, I understand the laughing thing. I saw the thread for the demo's and figured I might be able to get hold of them but Mr Ray doesn't seem too kean.

I know what you mean. I'm just waiting for Baron Silas Greenback to make an appearence. What comes next.

Do i know you?

Never mind.

I don't think Mr Ray would be here if he wasn't interested.

I have arrived, what's the trouble?

are you taking the p*ss?

not in the slightest

but how do 3 camels sound?
(a real delight to hold not one but several original masterpieces)

I fear that this has now become a stage for the lesser minded to exercise their weak grasp of humour.

I welcome any postings from Mr Ray with regards to the tapes, and any other relevant offerings.

Until that point, good night and thank you for your time.

£10 for a flexi.. I'm interested.

As I am with that master with Rev Rev on it. Is it POSSIBLE to convert it to mp3, because if so, would there be any objections with me doing that, in case anyone else here would like a copy?

if you had the neccessary playback device, i'm sure anything is possible.

whether its allowed, or is a condition of sale or not is a different matter...

and "rev rev" is the 1st track on "Dios Esta De Nuestro Lado" anyway, which is available on cd and thus probably as an mp3 somewhere on t'interweb

the playback device is the rub. have you got access to a studio reel-to-reel tape jobbie? these aint tdk cassettes we're talking about you know

but fwiw, i'd quite fancy a copy of that flexi too

Well, before making an offer, a question or three.

Firstly, the content: Underdog (12/10/89), is that a live recording?

Are they bootleg or official releases, or unreleased?

Any scans or details as to what they say on them, or notes on rarity?

silly boy. more than your pocket money will stretch anyway

huh? its not than rare. i have one of these flexis - they were given out at gigs & i picked mine up at a record fair a little time after for about a fiver. the track is live and not very special, although it is un-released elsewhere, and if i recall, it features Alan Vega on vocals. I've burnt all the James Ray stuff not available on the cd-albums onto a cdr if anyone wants a trade (as wav files - far better quality than the mp3s off the net).

I am confused by this thread - everyone is talking of these James Ray/ MK Ultra/etc items as being 'master tapes', so correct me if i am wrong, but does that not mean they are the same as the finished releases? if so, why do people want copies of em if they are no different? or are they infact rough demos or works in progress?

I've got an Underdog flexi too. (I picked it up at a JR gig at The Duchess) IIRC, one of my first posts on HL was trying to find out if it was worth much, and being offered a packet of crisps in exchange.

Anyhoo, back to the negotiations...
