Return to The Taper's Database Music List for Jonathan Sper
Last Update: June 25, 2004
Show Count: 88


Trading Rules:

Basic B&P stuff, refer to the basic etree rules at http://www.etree.org/bnp/index.html. I'm not overly concerned about disk brand, but some generics give my burner fits, so I'd prefer branded disks.

A word about my grading system. I am going back through all of my shows and establishing a standard for grading sound quality. The following seems to be working well.

A = soundboard show
B = audience recording - in this sysstem aud. tapes are just never A grades.
C = Not very listenable. I have the show primarily for its setlist, rarity or personal value.

Obviously + or - ratings are a little subjective but to me, an A+ show sounds like a professional release while a B- sounds like most of the old Dead bootleg cassettes under my bed.

I have a 2 CD Drive system so I usually copy disk to disk using the CD Copy feature in Nero. If you are particular and would prefer an EAC extraction, please indicate as much.

Always hunting for good quality Dead, early Phish, Oysterhead, Galcatic, Addison Groove Project or Widespread.
