Well people it's on!
This is the first announcement prior to the trees closure on 25
Feb
2000, then structure posted soon after.
I believe this is a land mark event in the domain that is Led
Zeppelin
ROIO trading.
Follow the link: http://www.inthelight.co.nz/Bootleg/mp3project.htm
to
get an understanding of what Duncan Watson has gone through to
provide
the seed discs for this tree.
Well done Duncan!!
First and foremost, everyone must understand that this tree, all
42
(approximate) discs of it, is made up of MP3 encoded music. As
such I
implore you not to be tempted to decode the individual sets and
trade
them as legitimate Wav copies of known boots or master source
tapes.
People could use these MP3's as a sort of preview so that they
could
target the boots they want to collect based on what the MP3's
sound
like. Yes MP3's are a lossy form of compression but it would be a
good
indication of what to expect when trading for the real thing.
They could
be used in lieu of your precious original boots at parties and
such
like.
I also intend setting the trade rules so that people can trade:
1. B & P,
2. Blanks and the equivalent of postage in blanks, or
3. One disc of music (MP3)for one disc of music (Wav).
4. Strictly no 2:1
Although on some discs there will be up to 12 shows, it would be
grossly
unfair to call for 12 discs as trade because what the person ends
up
from this tree is music in a format that is not considered
tradeable if
one was to convert it to Wav and attempt to trade it as a legit
copy of
a boot. basically it's disc for disc, if the person you trade
with is
willing to copy something for you in appreciation then so be it.
There will be scope for traders to horse trade at their own level
if
they so desire but I will take a dim view of anyone badgering for
more
than what is fair.
Note that this tree doesn't have to worry about EAC, DAO copying,
etc.
Any CD copier should work fine, so that should cut out a lot of
problems
some branches have experienced in the past.
The first part of the tree will consist of three discs in the
order
given below (directory listings):

1972 4 disks
1973 7 disks (estimated)
1975 6 disks (estimated)
1977 7 disks (estimated)

So I need Branches and leaves to email me with the following
info:

The main reason we have broken the tree into sections is to allow
traders to sign on for sections that they are interested in and
others
who may not be capable of funding 40 odd blanks in one hit.
Once the seeds are available for the second and subsequent
sections I
will be calling for branches and leaves anew, so you will have to
sign
up for each section.
So go to it, do not mail any attachments with your sign ups.
Let's Rock,
