This comment is for Rachel Seeger, not Keith. We set up a 4 disc trade for 2 Zappa shows a while ago. She sent me 4 discs full of pops, clicks, skips, dignoise, etc. and admitted to burning them disc to disc (she said that she didn't have them "lying around on her HD). She said she would send me blanks when I complained about the sound quality of the shows. She never did. I even went so far as to send her CLEAN SBD copies of the 2 shows for free and I did not even get a thank you. I would not trade with her again (obviously).
Response: People like Justin Green are the reason why we no longer trade music with folks we don't know. Thank heaven for torrent. The pops, clicks, skips, and digital noise that this gentleman refers to are common to the Zappa recordings of this area, which are well over 30 years old. Some of these are known to originate with a vinyl source, and that's what ya get. This guys is an ASS.
