Pink Floyd rip offs on E bay

Post by Arnold Layne »

Genuine fans please note, just had the displeasure of dealing with a so called fan flogging bootleg dvds on here


1. Pulse (Earls court 94) isn't available on DVD yet, and when it is, it will be 2 dvd set, crammed with extras in 5.1 sound.
The version being sold by these cocks calling themselves genuine fans on e bay, is a VHS - DVD dub, the only thing that's in 5.1, is the fucking menu! the rest is stereo

2. Neither is Delicate sound of thunder (live USA 88) again another VHS-DVD conversion

2. Venice 89, isn't rare, it was broadcast on TV live in 1989, copies are easily picked up among fans

4. The Wall 1990 rehersals are someone just wandering around with a camcorder snippets of songs

If anyone else has seen the "Earls court 1980" or "Nassua coliseum 1980" footage in better quality than when they first surfaced among fans please let me know

Cheers

Try contacting ebay Arnie, I have had a few dodgy bootlegs, but at a fiver a throw, I can shrug it off, but I know where you are coming from, its a cunt waiting in real anticipation for something 'exclusive' and being sold a pup.
Other than that, contact the seller and demand yer cash back

The West London of my youth is now on dvd


I've met the man on the street............and he's a cunt

I have never bought anything of e-bay, from stories I have been told quite a few scammers operate on there, sign of the times I guess, mind you if Tara Palmer was selling her knickers I may be 'tempted', just to clean the windows with you understand! I can remember years ago when that ad mag Loot thingy was around, and a lot of my muso mates used to call it the burglars gazette..

Yes but wait till you see the official PULSE dvd Dave, a 2 disc affair, in real 5.1, just as the concert was, in quad, if you were there, they're just VHS dubs Dave, nothing wrong with them if that's all there is, but when the sellers advertsing PULSE in 5.1, and the only thing thats in 5.1 is the menu, dosne't quite do the gig justice in my opinion
as for delicate sound, for some reason the guitar solo on comfortably numb is edited, but it isn't on the cd, same with the recently released "Echoes" best of Floyd double CD, some tracks on there edited, best to stick woth the albums and make your own best ofs
