Welcome to Shaft's Trading Page

Please follow the rules so that the trading process is as painless as possible.

Last Updated February 20, 2014

Please read the following before doing anything:

I have received several shows which contain either 2 second gaps, split second gaps, or clicks between tracks. I am not interested in trading for these shows. Please turn up the volume on your stereo and listen to the transitions between the tracks. If you hear gaps, clicks, deleted music, deleted speech, or any other type of music or crowd noise interruption, please inform me before sending these shows. Recordings found with these errors will be returned. I thank you in advance.



The rules:

1. I trade CDs and VHS videos.
   
2. I accept only the following CD-Rs: Imation, Sony, TDK, Verbatim (Sorry, no Memorex please). The brand of disc may not seem important now, but it will be a few years from now when it can't be played.
   
3. Please burn CDs in disc-at-once (DAO) mode. If you don't know what that is, please ask first.
4. Do not send MP3 recordings, or discs with clicks and gaps between tracks. Although there is an occasional MP3-sourced show on these lists, I am not interested in acquiring them.
   
5. I do not mail cases or artwork with CDs. If you are interested in artwork I will offer what I have via e-mail, upon request.
   
6. If you contact me first I will not mail shows until I receive yours, and vice-versa if it pleases you.
   
7. If trading videos, record them in SP mode.
   
8. Generally I'm interested in anything by any of the bands listed, or similar artists. If you see something I don't have and think I might be interested, contact me. I also have a list of particular shows I'm looking for. You can find that here.
9. If you have questions about anything, just ask.
10. Contact: gtb888@hotmail.com
11. Warning: If I receive shows which do not conform to these rules, I will not send anything in return until corrections are made. Shows which do not follow the rules will merely be returned.

The Lists:

The list are relatively self explanatory, but here are a few notes:

• Grades are somewhat arbitrarty, but in the simplest terms, think of them this way:
  
  • A=Good
  • B=Not the best, but not terrible either
  • C=On the lower end. Generally you only want this if you want everything by a particular artist.
• Shows with more than one grade have usually been recorded from more than one source, meaning some parts may sound better than others.
• Shows marked incomplete are missing songs from the original performance. Keep in mind an incomplete show may be the most complete recording available.
• Shows marked MP3 have been converted from MP3 files to WAV files, then burned to CD. All gaps have been removed.
• Click on underlined dates to view information and/or reviews of recordings.
• If you can offer information that is missing from any of the lists, please do. I want the lists to be as detailed and accurate as possible.
• Click on any of the band names below to view its corresponding show list.
