Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[mary sullivan]

Hey John,
If Dave grinned at you, that certainly does count, having been on the crew
doing the Flyer I say so. The HW universe is way more personal, and we have
a real good thing going with the fan scene.   Your taping service is
invaluable, and maybe redundant to some, but it's an easily accessible gold
mine you and Captain Deli have set up and I really appreciate it.  
Floyd were my first love, too, and now I'm going to get it for this, but I
felt Dark Side was too commercial, I liked the first part of side 1 and
Brain damage and eclipse, money is a pop song, good live, and the lyrics are
appropriate, and although well-done Us and Them is mainstream compared to
something like Echoes, (I guess I need to get the remaster of Meddle), IMO,
that was the last Great Floyd album.  If you do end up on that island,
spaceship, or whatever, you should be entitled to all Floyd Bootlegs.

Pink Floyd were my first love, and if I have to go to the proverbial desert
island with only one band's back catalogue that band would be Pink Floyd
(sorry guys :-).

But being a Pink Floyd fan feels a bit like being part of a giant
multinational. They are just so big and have so many fans. I would never try
and host a Pink Floyd live recordings site because there are already so many
of them, but I would and do host a Hawkwind recordings site (though the
Bootleg Emporium has kind of made me redundant :-).

The Hawkwind universe is just so much more personal. I don't know any of the
band members personally (though Dave Brock once grinned at me - does that
count? :-) but I can exchange Facebook posts with guys who write album
sleeve notes. OK, as claims to fame go it isn't very exciting, but the point
is it feels so much more like an extended family than a corporation.

So while I have a few Floyd bootlegs, live recordings, etc collecting Floyd
stuff just isn't as interesting as collecting Hawkwind stuff.

So far my only Floyd collecting "mania" has been very small compared to
Hawkwind etc. And i am not looking for mp3/FLAC but those dandy Japanese
Peel Sessions and Live and also the odd bootleg, as long as they are not CDR
or d/l. The other day i purchased 3 PF BBC 67,  BBC
68-69 and a London 70 Japanese CDs. Super looking forward to them. I have
the top list being PF stuff i already have and the bottom i have picked out
67-74 era PF CDs i have seen on eBay. I assume there is a lot of chaos and
overlapping with the bootlegs, so it seems the Japanese CDs are the way to
go for a Floyd novice like myself ... I wish i had the bootleg with "Point
Me At The Sky" single !!! I only have an mp3 of that one atm.
