Not including 12 Hits, what are some bootlegs that are available on vinyl that you feel are necessary for a collection? I listened to an 8-episode podcast today where someone went through every release, live recording, and session you could possibly imagine. I feel overwhelmed because a lot of these boots have so many different versions with differences.

After listening, the Hitsville live boot seemed like a great one to grab. The older pressing has Samhain on the cover and apparently doesn’t include the encore, but the new version has correct artwork, the encore, but is apparently missing Attitude. This makes it difficult for me to decide.

Another boot that sounded good was the Plan 9 version on Walk Among Us. I’m not sure if that’s the same as the “Alternate Takes” release. Also lots of Static Age outtakes boots. There are so many different pressings.

I know you guys would be the experts to ask about this. Throw some stuff out there for me to grab. If you can be specific about which version too, that would be great.

There’s a band that I love performing at the Blue Room tonight. Do they record every show there or is it something each band negotiates with the venue. I unfortunately couldn’t attend because I’m many states away. I’m hoping if it’s recorded I can manage to find a blue/black split eventually.
