Hay.  May God bless you.  It's a short life folks.  And a long long eternity.

My prior last entry was 04/2008.  I got separated later that month and divorced 11/2008.  I never did update my listing here.  I'm sorry.  I rarely did any trades after 04/2008. I actually did do 2 bigger trades.   I recently learned how to burn discs using my computer so I should be back in the saddle. 
I apologize for not updating my trading status correctly 3 years ago when I should have.  I actually have some shows to add to this list due to those 2 big trades.  Basically more GANG OF FOUR, TEENAGE JESUS AND THE JERKS, STEEL PULSE, PERE UBU,  and a few others.  I'll try to get to updating this list.  Thanks for your patience.

I'm only trading for A or A-, thanks.

I'm starting to give some of my tapes away (ideally, anyone who wants to transfer the A- and above ones to cdr & keep the tapes & a cdr copy).   I'm thinning the collection.  I already tossed most of my shows that are B or lower.  I kept some sentimental ones.

Update: I actually did give away my entire tape collection to a local fellow punk who had come over and admired it.  I know it went to a good home.

If you wanna check out tapes I'm giving away just ask, I'll send you the list.  The tape list is 80% punk.  This cdr list is, what? just over 1/2 punk?

I've got 1,200 tapes and about 1,900 cdrs.

I have a website at www.geocities/chrisbct77  with stuff about music particularly BCT (Bad Compilation Tapes/Borderless Countries Tapes, a living room tape label with 170 HC bands from 17 countries on 27 tapes from 1981 to 1986.  Me and a consortium of punk labels reissued 6 of 'em in the 2000's.)

 

 If you want to know the quality of the recording of a show where I haven't listed it, just ask, I'll gladly tell you and then list it on this site.

 

I stay in contact by email during the trade.  I package well and use Sony made in Japan.  Please send equivilent or please tell me then I'll use less expensive ones as well.

 

I'm flexible and easy going. I mail first class.  Been trading since 1981 (back in the old days when it was all tape and snail mail). ps, Sorry, but doing trading with Japan is expensive postage wise so I gotta do small trades from Japan. Other oversees locations I'll do little bit bigger trades.

Thanks.
