Crimpshrine- The Place, Davis Ca 2/19/88 Audio only transfer from master tape East Bay Punk

Another late upload. I am waiting to hear from the light rail studios people about this webcast- it starts in 15min and I have no Skype login credentials! I hope I made the cut.
Anyway, here is the Crimpshrine show that I taped from The Place in Davis back in 1988. That Montgomery Ward boombox had some pretty decent mics- these recordings always surprise me when I pull them out.

Isocracy- The Place, Davis Ca. 2/19/88 Audio only transfer from master tape East Bay Punk

I didn’t think I would get a chance to post something today, after spending all night (until 1:30am) prepping stuff for tomorrow’s benefit webcast AND work kicking my ass today. You can thank Todd Pritchard- he came over last December and pulled this tape out to be digitized, and I happened to have it on a DVD here. 10min later, it’s up.
Jason from Isocracy calls out a distinguished guest in the crowd… JED BREWER! I had to listen to it twice to be sure I heard that right. Worlds colliding.

Alex Chilton- Velvet Slego, Rimini Italy 2/5/88 xfer from low gen VHS tape Big Star Live

It’s video weekend! Back in the late 80s/early 90s, I (and a lot of my friends) used to trade a lot overseas. It was a challenge trading videotapes with Europe since they used a different VHS video format and worldwide VCRs were $1000. In addition, a lot of bootlegs were being manufactured and distributed out of Italy- it was the hub of bootlegs. This was before email so you never really got to know your trading friend like you do today. It was like mailing tapes into a big black hole and hoping they would come back. Sometimes, they didn’t come back and you would hear stories about people being busted and their collections being bulldozed- that’s what I heard about this Italian trader. Luckily, I was never sucked into that whole legal aspect of things, probably because I never sold tapes…. or maybe it was dumb luck.

Anyway, here is one from the Italian trader whose name I have forgotten. It is an hour-long set of Alex Chilton from Italy in 1988. Sounds great for a video from back then. Picture is decent.
