Chris,

Your website was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freakin' AWESOME! It's a shame you had to shut down. Even though the music is now gone, is there still a chance that you could continue to post some artwork to various boots? The artwork was great, too! Thanks for all the great music before it all went away!!!!

I'm very sad about it, you can believe me. I wrote to Tom Sarig from the menagement of Lou Reed to get a permission. The replay I got was:

"No we cannot allow that. But if you can send us the bootlegs perhaps we could decide to make some available on Lou?s website. OK?"
TOM

What an answer (the 2nd sentence)

So, at the moment I don't see a chance to seed. Maybe I find a way, but I can't promise you. About the artwork. I can do for all who like it.
Thank you very much. Your

Chris

PS: Attention with the Lou downdoads from Wolfgang Vault. "There is a licence on it, and everybody has to handle it like an official release!!!" This was one part BMI sent me in their eMail.

What an answer! You should have told him: "Download them from my website!"

How did they find out about the website so quickly?

Fantastic news Chris - lets just hope they're up for a long time yet because I for one am grabbing a lot of stuff.

Thanks for the incredible effort you've put into this and for your generosity in sharing it.

Yes, immense thanks, it is really a wonderful treasure trove! Beautiful stuff!

Thanks for putting together and sharing this amazing collection of live material. I must admit, this is quite an orgy of creative album cover designs - but the music is great. Documents worth adding to one's collection. Many thanks, eric.
