oldbury999

this person is selling stuff traded and weeded on heartland and the ghost dance site :evil:

wake dvd

ghost dance FREE!!!! downloads and weeded live dvd

the list goes on.

he's also selling wonderstuff and pwei stuff.

how do we go about getting his auctions pulled? EVERY single one is a bootleg. and it seems like many of them come from here, or from the GD site.

if anyone on here has bought stuff from him, please contact me with his name & address. i will print it so that everyone knows not to send him any more weeds.

the way i see it he's taking advantage of my good nature, your good nature, gary's good nature and christ knows who else's good nature.

i WILL NOT have this happen.

and in case any of feel tempted by the stuff he's offering for sale, don't. you can download it or even just ASK for it, and you will get it FREE!

From West Midlands and presumably active on both HL and GD weeding forums. Does that narrow it down a bit? Maybe some of the heavy weeders could help with a list of likely suspects?

hmmmm :|

can i point out at this point that my fave bit of hal's site is this:
hal wrote:I am not a bootlegger, I do not sell anything on these web pages. Please don't ask. You won't get a reply, if you do it'll contain many words questioning your intelligence and your ability to follow life's simple instructions. In other words: Don't waste your time.

are we sure of the facts before we witch hunt?

ghostdance, the fact that it's a weeded gig means it could have been out for a while?

just playing devil's whatsit...

anyway, pm incomming

>are we sure of the facts before we witch hunt?

boss, PIB speak well I agree with him

>wake - dead easy to get, and to do, even i can

maybe a copy of the official (aka Floorshow dvd) that it's damned easy to find and not the private recording.

>ghostdance, the fact that it's a weeded gig means it could have been out >for a while?

pretty easy gig that could to be find in Cadmen since few time ago

>ghostdance demo's: what are they does anyone know

someone knew the track list ? some demos are very long time that are onto Cadmen circuit, well know and easy to find

You'd think that a message like that would work, wouldn't you? :roll: :roll:

As far as I can remember I've never weeded to anyone in the West Midlands. Sorry to be of no help :|

And as for Hal's no-bootlegging disclaimer, I shamelessly nicked the idea for my own site.
my site wrote:Please do not ask me to sell stuff, because I'm not a bootlegger.
All material has been obtained as gifts or 1-to-1 swaps with the "big boy" traders.

Please do not ask me to copy official material: BUY IT!

NOt that Im condoneint Selling Stuff thats been weeded here cuse thats a bit of a No No, But remember one thing, If it was for the fact that Bootegs were sold to make momney, Most concerts esepcally in the 80s alternative Scene would have never been recorded in the first place.

Best
