Re: Copy everything off your DVDs to a HD soon!

The warning is well taken - you should be careful about preserving important things. On the other hand, the point for me at least, and maybe some of you, is how much crap to which I never, ever listen (or watch) have I stuffed onto CD's and DVD?

Re: Woman demo demix / Child Of Nature

Beautiful job! So much raw material to work with...

BTW, on Compositions (Vigotone 191) there are a couple of 1970 piano demos of the same song that may or may not offer some fodder for vocal options.

Re: What is considered to be the 1st Beatles bootleg?

Back in high school circa-1978 my shop teacher recorded some Get Back outtakes on an 8-track cartridge tape for me, not sure of his original source but I did recognize bits of it later on when listening to subsequent boots.
