It is amazing over the years:
In the early days of rock and roll/popular music ..............you got your twelve tracks on your album.
Your heard somewhere that there might be out takes or alternative versions but..................well they were not really that good and.................you know.
Come the came sixties.........and bootlegs..................poor quality out takes and other versions arrive in a limited form
The eighties and CDs come
They are expensive but a bit longer and well twelve tracks look a bit mean for that much so we get a bonus!!!!!
Much better CD bootlegs come..............We get great quality out takes and alternative versions.....................in some cases the bootlegs are brilliant!
Finally the record companies have to face it............they can't rip us off any longer ( Or the bootleggers make too much.)
In a trickle at first and then a deluge ...we finally begin to get all that we should.........and we find that there are many gems hidden away in the vaults for a record company to keep making extortionate amounts from.
Who says that bootleggers are the villains?:biggrin1::nod::nod:

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
