Some might be surprised to learn how little money artists see from LEGIT
releases ;
give Allen Klein Esq. a ring for further info. He's a friendly chap (tho'
unpleasant aspersions have been cast, calling him Lazy & Fat) but you'll find
him happy to chat with you for hours on this & related topics. 

Now,  I've seen about a dozen boots of The Only Ones in shops & markets - the
band's a specialist interest, I agree - but I welcome every one of them (as
long as the booter gives me some free copies). Some of these Boots have even
been the source for what are now "legit" Live records on legit labels.....
