Return to The Taper's Database Music List for Ben Cruz
Last Update: April 09, 2004
Show Count: 46


Trading Rules:

Right now I'm not sending things through the mail, I prefer to upload shns to a server for people to download and get shows in return, either through mail or through similar means.

I don't keep all the shows I get, the shows I keep are the best I've heard. Usually, if I get one that's of lower quality I won't list it here because I'll eventually delete it.

I'm very picky about sound quality :)



My Grading Scale:
A+ - Mixed Soundboard, perfect
A ?- Unmixed Soundboard, FM/TV broadcasts
A- - Imperfect Soundboard, still awesome (the best audience recordings may go here as well)
B+ - Good Audience Recording
B ?- Decent Audience Recording
B- - Okay Audience Recording
C+ - Probably won't be sharing this long, I don't hold on to lesser quality shows

Anything lower: likely not found here.
