Every mention of Alexander Leathers has been completely eliminated from the forum!?

I've got over 20T digitally stored! Working with Crypt records right now on a new release of 65-66 garage.

Big fan of the Nuggets series.

I feel bad for going off subject (intentionally), so I will shut up now, but yes, the Nuggets series is top-notch.
And Dickie, please PM me when you get it done, I'd like to buy it.
OK, shutting up now.

I have fond memories from living in Memphis, Tennessee during the early and mid-sixties while in school. Of course, Beale Street in Memphis is considered "the Birth of the Blues." Now Beale Street is a major tourist attraction and still rich in the history of the blues. To keep on a jacket theme, I was issued a G-1 US Naval flight jacket not too long after that, although my G-1 was not made by Alexander Leathers.

I will say though, seeing this type of communical insight though music (on a jacket forum) kind of reinforces the notion that a jacket is "more than a jacket". I know that when I slip on my next jacket (whatever that will be) I will definitely think of you guys!

...... I also realized some bands were just cranking out noise!

My dad told me I would someday feel this way about Uriah Heep.

Wrong! Digital content is created, spread and stored in the most savable form of data ever created.

It might be saveable for the time being, but saving ain't the same as using. And digital data can become corrupted. I eagerly await the revival of 3 1⁄2", 5 1⁄4" and 8" disc use...

We'll have to agree to differ.

That was funny. Have you seen Jimmy Fallon and co. doing The Doors?
It's spot on hilarious!

True, but I know I find it easier to get a hold of old/obscure stuff than I did 10 or 15 years ago on a digital format. I don't necessarily prefer it, but it's a useful resource, and it's helped to sustain small record labels.

I'm not saying it's bad. It's great that people can get stuff relatively easily. I'm in favour, pro and very much for it!

I'm talking about archiving in the long term. There's loads written about digital archiving and a lot of it is worry about data corrupution and formats, including file formats, becoming unreadable.

I got the Back From The Graves as they were coming out and they really bust the little world of the collectors wide open. I liked them for their tight focus, in contrast to the Pebbles endeavour, which expanded into the European theatre and bust that open, together with the likes of Rubbles, etc., giving 1000s of songs a new lease of life.

Is this stuff all previously unreleased? Be interesting to see how it turns out.

P.S.: My dad's negative films are still printable - after more than 50 years' storage! Not any digital medium will ever last so long; we will have to copy every ten years to the actual digital carrier materials, I assume.

Wow we do have some diggers here :eusa_clap. I guess i'm coming from the point of view of someone who started chasing that stuff in the early 80's and saw those rarities ( many one known copy ) come back from the grave likethey have partly due to digital.

I used a couple songs in y-t video's i made but the Crypt project will have a full cd's worth of unreleased material of The Spiders. Pre Alice Cooper, both of the Spiders 7" 45's are in Goldmine's 100 most valuable 45 records. When Glen Buxton took me to his parents where he had all his high school days possessions i was stunned when we opened his bedroom door......still am. thanks for the interest..

Lungomare, Flickr is a great place to store pictures, and living in Austria, I'd be willing to bet that you have some world class scenic photos, apart from jackets, at your disposal.

A similar story here too. I grew up listening to rock and roll. When I was around 20 I stumbled on some Robert Johnson recordings and was blown away. I immediately felt the connction to the music I was currently listening to. It made me enjoy certain bands more knowing they were carrying on that blues lineage. I also realized some bands were just cranking out noise!

Exactly. Robert Johnson was the beginning of all (or most) of what came after. I'm not a guitar player, but I have friends who are very good. Their unanimous opinion is that Robert did it first and did it best. I have that multi CD set that has all of his known recordings. Even though it was recorded in the 30s, stylistically, it could have been recorded yesterday.

A guitar player friend of mine I used to play with, and who is now a writer, producer and occasional studio musician, would often use a turn around I really liked. When I first listened to Robert Johnson, I heard it there, note for note. So much for there being anything new in this big world of music.
