TRADER FORUM BOOTLEG ARTWORK
THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO MY FAVOURITE
GREEK COMPOSER VANGELIS.

I HAVE SOME OF HIS RARE WORKS ON CDs AND
I AM REALLY EAGER TO TRADE ANY RARE OR
UNOFFICIAL CD FROM MY COLLECTION FOR
THE STUFF I DON'T HAVE YET.

MY COLLECTION COMPRISES NOT ONLY VANGELI'S
WORKS, BUT ALSO ENNIO MORRICONE AND
A HUGE VARIETY OF BOOTLEG RECORDINGS OF
PINK FLOYD, THE WHO, LED ZEPPELIN, ROLLING STONES,
KING CRIMSON, FLEETWOOD MAC,
AND MANY OTHER BANDS.
IF YOU ARE INTO TRADING PLEASE CONTACT ME
VIA MY E-MAIL.

AS FOR TRADING - I DO NOT TRADE MP3s OR ANY
OTHER LOSSY FORMAT, JUST CD-Rs or APE, FLAC OR SHN.

MY BASIC TRADING RULES ARE:
1. Rip the CD carefully on HDD (the best way is EAC) and burn it slowly (4x)
2. Test the files on HDD with something like
auCDtect and send me the report.
3. In case of burning audio use media like Verbatim or TDK, not generic ones
4. Who asks first sends first

DISCLAIMER: HEREBY I STRONGLY DECLARE THAT I AM NOT TRADING ANY OFFICIAL ALBUMS. EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO BUY THE OFFICIAL ALBUMS.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:
People avoid buying following titles - they are originally mp3 based:
1. so called Blade Runner Esper Mk II (and probably Mk III as well). These items are homemade fakes compiled from mp3s(!!) just for sake of making easy money on eBay (about 100 USD). They have nothing to do with genuine Esper group - the name is stolen and the whole thing is a sheer deception.

(visit yahoogroup bladerunner_soundtrack for more info ...)

I've just met a guy who created the Esper MkII. His intentions were not to sell it - just to improve and share it with the other people. He even refused to share it on lossless sites.

He says: "I created the MK2 edition of Blade Runner in December 2004. I basically got a copy of the original Esper Edition and made it better by replacing some tracks that had sound effects on them with rare original studio vesions that I have. I did not release it on the site because it is not completely lossless. The rare tracks are MP3 256 kb/sec. As for the remaining tracks they are 320 KB/sec MP3s."

The whole MKII thing is a big misunderstanding. While he made it just for fun, some greedy bastardos just started selling it on ebay.

2. there is also another new release of Blade Runner called Radio 1 Hannover, Germany (promo only). It has been also compiled from mp3s, although it was apparently released on silver CD.

3. Blade Runner: Los Angeles, November 2019 is being shared on eMule as Monkey Audio files (lossless) but it actually comes from a lossy source.

There is many Vangelis bootlegs in the circulation which are audio burned from mp3s - be careful while trading - insist on auCDtect or Tau Analyser check - these programs are well known as not completely reliable, but they can still say a lot ...
