Welcome to the club.

I sometimes wonder whether all the Live related items I've collected have been worth it. Still collecting - I purchased a tour poster from 2006 on the weekend.

Make sure you post pics of the tape once it arrives and maybe produce a nice pure source rip too. thumbsup.gif

How much is this thing worth? I have been watching it on Discogs for years, and I had a "get it, you only live once" moment.

As soon as I get it I am taking to a place a few miles away and paying to get it ripped to WAV and I will convert to FLAC. They have done a few others that the audio is only available on cassette (Fuel - Small the Joy, Rusted Root Christ Monkey, and a Toad the Wet Sprocket fan club cassette).

As friendly as you have been sharing tidbits all these years, I will definitely send to you to share. I have pretty darn good sounding rips already, but I am weird about paying for it to get the best quality, and the ones I paid for sound very good.

I purchased an unplayed copy of The Death of Dictionary from Adam Taylor for $550 + postage in 2010. Here's photo from back then. https://postimg.cc/mcp7WbX9

I heard zmanpga was trying to sell his original copy of DOAD on Facebook. He started bidding at $500. Not sure if anybody bought it.

I got it for 140, and someone got it a few months back for 75. So I felt like I got ripped off, but hey, willing buyer.....

Wow, prices have fallen. I guess there aren't many Live fans around these days.

The seller's name was CTaylor69 and asked me if I was interested in fiber optics. Weird.....
