back to boots and all that
Thanks for all the info on boots,
I'll have to start looking.
Justin:-
>Join WhoBoots at eGroups.com
:)
I have done, just last week, so I'll
have to see what that brings.

I do actually have a grand total of
one boot, called Alternate Rarites, a collection of Pete demos of Who songs, and
demos for stuff they never recorded, and things like the American version of
Substitute, an alternate take of AAA, 'You Rang', 'Jingle Bells' and a couple of
old sounding live tracks, I mean really early sounding live stuff, forgotten the
songs off hand. Oh yeah, and I also have some of the songs they did at the
Lifehouse Young Vic thingy, those tapes came from a lass in America in
return for a tape of Lifehouse which I taped off the radio when it was on
last year. I'm just not sure where to start with regard to boots.
Are there any boots that seem to be part of the average Who boot
collection?? I should start by buying the Scoop CDs, they're full of demos
aren't they??
> There is a lot of repetition in
different titles, too.
That's another thing, knowing if 2
boots under different titles are in fact the same.

>RECORD COLLECTOR?
I've got the latest issue of that,
and I've been thinking about starting a record collection for ages, another
thing I don't know where to start on, and what to collect. I guess I'd
stick to my interests, namely the Who mainly, and the Beatles and Kinks and 60s
bands in general. Anyone here collect Who records, or know of any places
with info on what to expect to pay for Who things over here in sunny
England??
Alan:-
>Memorize the phrase "independent
record stores".
Shall do, thanks. I know of a
couple too not far from me so I'll have to try them sometime. And there's
a couple of record fairs happening soon. Only thing is, what's a
reasonable price to expect to pay for them??
>decide you're from the RIAA and
not get in touch with you later.
As long as the people from the RIAA
don't go undercover as scruffy students, I think I'll be fine!! But that's
an American thing isn't it, is there a British counterpart to the
RIAA??

>may yield historic shows.
On the subject of live shows, anyone
know if any recordings (or pictures other than the 3 on thewho.net) exist of the
Newcastle show on November 6th this year?? And just out of interest, was
anyone there??

my collection.
That's a place I've never been on, my
brother uses napster now and again so he could show me what to do there.
But napster gives you mp3's and according to my brother, you can't stick these
on a CD?? And we have a CD burner on the computer, so that's a shame
really. And I've read that soon you'll have to pay to use
napster.
Thanks again.
