My rating reflects the quality of the recording AND the quality of the performance. While they are subjective, I try to be thorough and critical. The weighting is approximately three-quarters recording quality, one-quarter performance. Recordings rated a 9.3 or better represent the elite class (A ratings, if you will) and, IMHO are DEFINITELY worth having in your collection. Recordings in the 9.2 to 9.0 range are very collectibspac28the A- category), while those with an 8.9 or 8.8 indicate minor imperfections in the recording or performance. Ratings of 8.7 to 8.0 are still worth having, but represent the second tier (the B discs) of collecting. The reader really should consider collecting recordings with a rating of 9.0 to 10 first, as they represent the best that I have to offer. Anything rated below an 8.0 is for the die-hard collector.
Editor's Notes:
As it's the "busy season, I'm trading only on a limited basis until April 2003. Please feel free to request a trade, but don't be disappointed if I'm not able to accommodate you at this time ....
Well, I guess it had to happen sometime. I'm putting out my first "Untrustworthy" Trader Alert. The dizzy bitch goes by the name Tina Edwards. Complete info is as follows:
Tina Edwards
4133 Great Falls HWY
Richburg SC 29729
E-mail: namarie9@hotmail.com
Trade List: http://www.tapetrader.com/namarie9
Our girl, Tina, agreed to a five disc trade on June 15 and said it would take a week to ten days to prepare the discs. Fortunately, she offered to send at the same time or wait for her discs until I got my discs. Initially, I agreed to mail at the same time. I hadn't heard from her since our initial agreement, so on July 6th, I e-mailed her for a trade status, to which she replied, "I'm working on it. They should be out by around next week." Again, I heard nothing from her, so on July 22, I again e-mailed her. She claimed that she mailed her set (although she never e-mailed me that she had posted the discs) and asked where hers were. I replied that in light of her failure to keep me posted about the trade status, her failure to let me know that she had mailed her set, and since she had offered to wait for mine discs, I had decided to exercise her offer to wait until her package arrived before I would mail my discs. Low and behold, no package arrived. After a few testy e-mails back and forth, on Wednesday, July 31, she supposedly mailed another set from South Carolina to my address in New Jersey. Not surprisingly, I still have not received a package from her, FIRST or SECOND!
I can't say she's a "BAD" Trader, for I did not lose any discs. But, she did jerk me around for two months with her lies. Consequently, I might strongly suggest that if you should decide to trade with her, do not mail your package until you receive hers. Also, she has informed me that she is moving, so her address will be changing. Be alert to a change of venue.
Preface:
About Me
It has come to my attention that some traders who have received my discs have had trouble copying them. I am told that they play just fine in a CD player, but not so well when being duplicated. I do not know if it is my DAC (digital audio copier), my burner, or if they are making discs "on the fly". I provide this information for you, the prospective trader, so that you can decide whether a trade is worth the risk. In short, Caveat Emptor (let the trader beware!).
It seems to me that music traders/collectors fall into two broad categories: those who will collect any recording regardless of the source, sound quality, or performance (I call this SBS, or Steve Broome syndrome), and those who desire only high quality recordings. I fall into the latter category, which is to say that I seek only high quality recordings and performances. By high quality recordings, I mean soundboard or superb radio broadcasts. However, with the advent of the portable DAT and mini-disc recorder, excellent sound quality audience recordings are acceptable. Likewise, by performance, I seek recordings that exemplify the band at its best, as opposed to recordings where, for example, the lead singer's voice is hoarse, the drummer is so drunk he can only play in 4-4 time, or it was the last show of the tour and the band is playing as if they can't get off the stage fast enough.
I understand that because of its subjective nature, alot of traders resist the tempation to rate their recordings. While I acknowledge their right to maintain their list as they see fit, I hope they will acknowledge my divine right to trade with whom I choose. I have a very limited amount of time for trading and dislike wasting it with inquiries regarding the source and/or sound quality of a particular recording. Consequently, I will not engage in a trade if I receive a trade list that doesn't denote a recording's source and general rating regarding the sound quality. Indeed, chances are good that I will not take the time to reply to the trade request. Another time waster is the "if you're still trading, I'll send you my list" e-mail. I will not reply to such feeble minded messages. This is a SUBTLE HINT to enclose your list or link when you initiate a trade request! Or, to put it another way, ... HELL YEAH, I'M STILL TRADING ... !!! Lastly, if your list is on a spread sheet, in a Word file, or some other software file, DO NOT ATTACH it to your e-mail. Rather, COPY AND PASTE it to the e-mail. I will not open attached files; but, I assure you, I will delete it in a nano-second without a thought.
Given my previous statement about the precious commodity, time, should you decide to contact me, at a minimum, PLEASE include the complete titles of the discs you desire to trade for, your trade list or a link to it (there, I said it again ... !!! :-), as well as the country in which you reside or to which the discs will be mailed. This expedites the trade and allows me to consider doing a Blanks and Postage transaction for you! Should I receive a trade request without this information, I'll simply delete it.
If you find the above paragraphs too harsh, too complicated, or too incompatible with your lifestyle, please do not hesitate to contact another trader. My feelings won't be hurt, though our collections may not increase quite so quickly. Should you desire to contact me for a trade, please supply the requisite info stated in the paragraphs above, view my want list and the Forward, then proceed to the Denouement. ... Gee, it's kinda like being back in English Lit class, isn't it ... (winky, winky)
Instant Gratification (AKA, MY WANT LIST)
Excellent quality recordings (Soundboard or Radio broadcasts, preferably; but extra ordinary audience recordings are accepted) by Pete Yorn, Rufus Wainwright, Pre-1980's Jackson Browne (preferably with a back-up band), Sigur Ros, Coldplay, David Gray and Radiohead Canal+ (private concert recorded for French TV aired on 6-6-01). I am also seeking clean, soundboard quality Rick Wakeman recordings from 1974-6, a clean copy (no pops, or digital clicks) of The Great Lost Kinks Album, and Jazz recordings by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk (among others). All other recordings will be considered as long as your list includes the source and a general sound quality rating for most recordings.
Forward:
Ascending the Learning Curve(AKA, Le RULES)
1. THE GOLDEN RULE - this library is for digital disc trade only; I WILL NOT SELL RECORDINGS, so PLEASE do not ask!!!
2. If we haven't traded before and you contact me for a trade, you'll have to mail first. I'll sample/listen to your discs and mail mine within 48 hours. If there's a problem with your discs, I'll e-mail you noting the problem in detail. More than likely, I'll mail your discs back to you and await clean discs before completing the trade. (Editor's Note) After about the fifth or sixth time you are burned (pun intended) in a trade, you'll understand why I've implemented this rule!
3. ALL DISCS MUST BE COPIED WITH DISC AT ONCE (DAO) which eliminates the 2 second gaps between tracks; THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE!!!!! You MUST confirm that you will be able to copy the discs sent to me in this manner.
4. When considering a trade, I want to know, BEFORE I GET A DISC, such silly things as:
(A) the SOURCE of the recording (i.e., is
it a soundboard recording, recorded from the audience, from the radio, transferred from a cassette and has some tape hiss, from a vinyl record and has pops, crackles and the like, etc.) If your list does not include the source ID=ith a recording, such as digital pops or clicks, tracks that are cut or fade in or out, channel volume fluctuations, truncated tracks, etc. This is not meant to be an all inclusive list of potential problems, so please use common sense and courtesy and disclose fully any problems with a recording, no matter how minor!
Thank You,
R. Waters
5. Use the appropriate length CD-R. If a recording requires an 80 minute CD-R (700 MB disc), please use it. I do NOT want recordings with tracks cut or omitted because they wouldn't fit on a 74 minute disc!
6. All discs must be placed in protective sleeves. If you simply throw my discs in a padded envelope (without placing them sleeves), you'll get them back in the mail (postage due!) and the trade will be cancelled.
7. Your package must include a detailed set list (i.e., the list should include the name of the band; the date, city, venue (if known), and complete song list) for EACH RECORDING. Ahould yo fail to include include the set lists with the discs, you will not receive your selections from me until you MAIL (not e-mail) them to me. Simply pt, mail dscs and detailed set lists in the same padded envelope.
8. I do NOT trade discs sourced from MP3's and I DO NOT WANT DISCS SOURCED FROM MP3's!
9. I expect a set list with the discs or via e-mail. Please do not write on the discs, and ABSOLUTELY NO LABELS on discs.
10. I prefer to mail discs without jewel cases via 1st class mail to U.S. residents and via airmail to foreign destinations.
11. I LIKE TO COMPLETE MY TRADES EXPEDITOUSLY; that includes the e-mails leading up to the consumation of the trade.

Confessions of a Perfectionist
Yes, I know I'm a picky bastard. But, please realize that I give as good as I get, which is to say that I try to trade only clean, high quality recordings. And, I stand behind my discs. If there's a problem which hasn't previously been disclosed, I'll do my best to make it right. I ask no more of my trading partners than I give of myself.
Climax:
Le List de Trade
RATINGS:
Anything with an N means that I haven't rated it yet. Please feel free to ask for a rating. In some cases, I've sampled a disc and included a partial rating (with a question mark (?) to the right of the decimel point) to give the reader a general idea of the quality of the recording.
Selections with an asterisk (*) next to them indicate that yours truly lovingly converted them from cassette using Cool Edit and Sound Forge to "clean" the recording and master the disc, while selections with a double asterisk (**) next to them indicate recordings which I have remastered, which typically means that I've removed the extraneous analogue noise. Recordings with a surrounding it indicate a personal favorite; recordings that I listen to time and again. :-)
