Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollinaâ€™s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollinaâ€™s personal tapes, was given the approval of Johnâ€™s sister, Antonia, to share Johnâ€™s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations.  Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with Johnâ€™s fans and collectors.

Charlie Kaiser has given us access to his soundboard masters.  He was the Front Of House soundman and recording engineer for virtually all of John's bands from about 1983 until his passing. This included Thunder and Lightning, Dinosaurs, Terry and The Pirates, Problem Child, and many of the spinoff bands.

Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with Johnâ€™s fans and collectors.

Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollinaâ€™s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollinaâ€™s personal tapes, was given the approval of Johnâ€™s sister, Antonia, to share Johnâ€™s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations.  Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with Johnâ€™s fans and collectors.
