Tbh, to collect bootlegs was one of my passions for more than a decade. Although I still love them, I don't feel the urge to pay lots of money for stuff anymore, especially the Greek/Aussi stuff. Buying these records doesn't give me that thrill like the old ones once did.

It's more like this routine : buy now -> pay too much money and ridiculous shipping costs through PayPal -> wait for a week or so -> get a package with foreign stamps -> open up and see a brand new record, badly glued on the sides and in strange colours with dodgy artwork -> think: "okay, this is another step to completion" -> put it in the shelf.

NEXT MONTH: SAME THING !!!

Get my idea? I really don't like this kind of routines anymore...

... and in the "old times" the market wasn't flooded with such ridicolous bootlegs. You were searching record shops / fairs and happy, if you found something you hadn't seen before. Now, too me, it is more the feeling like "one more item with a ridicolous limitation of 10, 30 or 50 copies" which one would somehow like to have (even some of the Greek stuff, for completist sake) but like Paul the thrill to finally hold the item in your hand is gone :?

I'm still tempted to bid on some of the Greek stuff and sometimes do place a bid, but that happens more and more seldom. This might happen with my view towards the Aussie stuff as well, if too many items are thrown on the market...

Nah, was in with 15 Pounds, just to watch.
Not more.

In the last time, I feel like Paul and VOC described. I bid on some items, but without a great intensity. Maybe the next real big thing ... we will see.

The blue Saints? Just in to watch. Grab it whoever wants it.

Another sad fact is that the contents of most "new" bootlegs has been bootlegged before ... no new recording to discover, they always keep to the same old BBC sessions, demos and a certain choice of gigs with diverse medleys or soundchecks ... and while there were such a lot more things to bootleg ...
