Re: instant party boot

["L. Bird" <pkeets@hotmail.com>]

There was quite a bit of discussion of this boot on alt.music.who a while 
back.  The first descriptions were glowing and lots of folks apparently 
rushed out to pay $60-90 for it.  Later reviews indicated that all the songs 
are pirated from officially released albums, and that the intros to some 
were awkwardly chopped.  The bit about the Talmy versions seems untrue.  
Those who bought it pretty much ended up paying for the packaging and 
photos, which all agreed were terrific.

No one bought the Talmy tapes when they were listed on eBay.  There was some 
indication that Fang was trying to assemble a groups of investors to bid on 
them, and then later reports indicated that Talmy and Townshend were 
negotiating.

Here's what Talmy currently says on his website:
