Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[Abra Cadabra]

I remember going to NYC while an art student in NJ, and my "loser"
friend Steve Hummell who i always went to score grass with at The
Square in NY bought the Sisters of Mercy "Holocaust 1985" CD which i
taped off him. Still have the cassette but no tape deck. Excellent SB
recording too. My first HW boot i think was "Space Rock From London"
at a Prog fest in Oslo 95 or 96... the guy who i bought it from after
i paid an ok price, i was like "so ya just sold me a bootleg CD for
the price of a regular CD, are you aware of this?"... and he was like
"well, i don't care ". The bands i remember at the prog fest were
Arena and Anekdoten both which i did not enjoy.
