tales from the who

["Andy C" <thekindpad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, re:A couple of easy questions for you bootleg fans.

1. Is King Biscuit likely to release the Tales From The Who show as an
album?
Not likely, there have been a few different versions out there over the 
years but The Who have always seen this show as below standard (and great 
though it is, it is not as great as other shows of the period)

2. If so, is it likely to sound better or have extra tracks compared to the 
bootlegs out there?
well it's a moot point but the better bootleg versions are of the FM 
broadcast so they sound pretty good.

3.I've only ever bought one bootleg Who album.  It was a double LP and the 
sound was so dreadful I think I only listened to it once.  I think the title 
was from a Tommy lyric and I bought it at a flea market.  I take it some of 
these things don't sound too bad?
Indeed they can be a crap shoot. There are only a handful of really good 
quality shows/studio bootlegs out there, many of which have been released 
officially in whole or in part (LAL deluxe, WN deluxe, etc.)however, for 
instance LAL deluxe is heavily edited. I still prefer the bootleg version.

4.When I first joined the list, someone pointed me to Baba O'Riley's bootleg 
page.  It looks like a treasure trove, but how do you, you know, actually 
buy these things?
first off, I personally try not to pay money for bootlegs. I just dont' 
think its right. there are lists online where you can do trades and if you 
dont' have anything to trade you can get freebies to start. And Babas boot 
page is a great source to find which are good and which are not so good.


peace
a who completeist,
Andy C
