Pedro,
thanks for the offer to trade and perhaps there might be an opportunity for
us to do so in the future but i have to tell you that i have some difficulty
with what you are doing from a personal standpoint. With no criticism of
you, your conscience is your own guide in these matters, it is important to
me to support as many artists as i can by actually buying their discs. By
buying the discs i am making my own small contribution to the well-being of
the artists, independent music and to the creative process, i think that is
more important than the ultimate size and scope of my own personal
collection of discs. My idea is that the listees on this list are probably
in the forefront of appreciation and recognition that the creators of AJ and
it's related sounds can count on besides their own immediate circles. The
fact that you seem to want almost the entire catalogue of Instinct to trade
is a little disturbing to me, what do you not want to trade? what are the
last ten discs that you actually paid for in cash? i am only too happy to
trade discs that are very hard to find or out of print but the readily
available stuff does not fall into that category. A number of people have
asked me to burn the Troublemakers cd for them and i have obliged just a
couple of those folks because the disc is not yet released and i think it
deserves to be heard but all-in-all, i would far prefer to see the artists
get the support in the commercial world than i would like to see them as the
most-traded and collectable artists who now cannot afford to record their
next release!
just my own personal opinion, i doubt that it would slow down your trading
activities but i hope that it does give you a pause for thought about this
acitivity of yours
