Hi Guys

Well I have asked this many times, and so has one of my friends.We have contacted Paul Markham who is not interested in selling original tapes or the rights to distribute them.

So does anyone out there have any copies of these brilliant tapes, I have about 12 of these tapes out of around 120 tapes actually made.

I/We would buy or trade if someone can come up with any tapes we dont already have.

We know that HGP were selling them previously but have now discontinued them.

Many thanks

Anthony

Do you know why he isn't interested in selling? It seems strange to turn down money, so it suggests to me that he either no longer owns the rights, or has plans to market them again. Anybody know?

A well known company on the links page of this site told me they are going to be available again. So hopefully it is the case.

Hi All

I did have some correspondance with Paul through a colleague and Paul is only in the UK at certain times. Basically he was willing to sell but not for the price we offered (Many thanks to Paul though for taking the time). We did not want the rights to distribute his product, these were for our own personal use.

You are right he is in discussion with a well known supplier who advertise on this site and who have in the past sold his material. I have contacted them quite a few times and the only reply I got was they are still in discussion. This was a few months ago.

So basically the material cannot be bought at the moment, so hence the request for trades or buying originals from people.

If you cannot buy the material from the distributor or the owner of the copyright, the only logical conclusion is to ask to buy from "Joe Public" who may have some titles we need.
