If I put it up here and specifically say it is raw then any Tom, Dick or Harry can master it anyway they want it to sound and you by your own rules have to allow it because it is not a remaster but technically a mastered copy. On top of that 27 different people can take that raw recording and master it 27 different ways and you'd have to allow them all because they are all unique masterings.

Thanks for putting up the masters I sent to you on another site.

I can't wait to see how long before someone scarfs up something of mine and runs over here to put it up............ and how long before this new rule goes right out of the window.

Or watch and see just how long it STAYS up.... probably just long enough for certain mods to let their pals suck it down ......

So, since you have NO idea what I did to a master recording BEFORE sending it out, and since Mister Weedwacker only has what I sent him to work from.... then by your own rules, my new releases are not allowed here.

That suits me just fine.

Keep on with your Silver BOOTLEG and "Source: ZERO" garbage.

And enjoy the George Harrison 11/26/74 silver bootleg with the false lineage and whatever UMTEENTH Led Zeppelin recordings that are passed off as "master recordings" that certain ABT mods are so fond of........
