Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[mary sullivan]

Christian, and greetings to other friends, too,
 if it would help, since you don't have one, I have a dubbing cassette deck, I could make you multiple copies if that would help for backup. maybe someone else here could help with the converting I'd do it right off, and get the tapes, (original and copies back), Usually I don't do this, since using the post office is such a pain in the ass.  If you Could send the tape packaged for convenience with a SAE the turnaround time would be real fast.  Let me know, if I can help. I don't mind paying for postage, it's the logistics, I'd certainly take care of the tapes and record copies on the slow speed. If you need any other tapes done, I'd be happy to help.  The deck is old, so I'd clean the heads, and demag.  It does still work.  You've helped me a lot and I'd like to return the favor, unless you find an easier way.   I'm real bad about getting mail sent out if it involves the post office, or burning discs, just ask Mike, he'll tell you how bad I am, not through intent, it's lack of knowledge on the burning, and difficulty in getting to the post office, but I do want to contribute, any way I can. You and  So many of you kind people have done so much to keep me in the loop, and the Flyer was nice, but it was a long time ago.  I do wish that HW had come to Boston, I still have a lot of contacts in radio.  Anything I can do to help, you, or any other friends.
It's a good day to stay inside and listen to cool music, and watch cool vid.s, Tim can describe.  I'm rereading Neuromancer, there is stuff at the beginning I don't remember, it's a free read on YouTube, so I'm enjoying that for now.  That's what I'm up to right now.  We attended a lecture by Gibson, it was really interesting, all about how much has come true in cyberspace.  

Always, with warm wishes to all, even though I do disappear, your friend,

Mary

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.
