Re: Confusion about generations and masters etc.

Sorry, I still disagree.

If the bootleggers weren't making money, why would LZ 2/28/75 be on it's 10th different boot release?

I have CDr copies of 4 of these: Louisiana Hayride; Bon Soir, Baton Rouge; LSU Baton Rouge, and In from the Freezer; - all are from the same unverified high gen unverified copy, all sound like they came from pretty worn-out tape copies, not a one is different.

10 different boots all from the same poor source.

Now you're about to get a boot of a torrent of a boot of a boot ad infinitum.

Somebody's making money at $97.00 a pop.

Well, now, that's something that will cheer up everyone; that a boot of a torrent of a boot of a boot of an infinitely bad copy of a high gen tape will last longer than the master recording.

Is that an arguement for all tapers to turn over their master tapes to bootleggers immediately?
