When is it time to throw away my big box of old b&p bootleg cassette tapes?

Please, RM, help me decide. I'm purging, and have hesitated. I need your direction.

This sounds like a great use of time and that the results will be well worth it

However, I'm still not convinced as tot he proper course of action

My wife has her opinion certainly

I gave mine to someone on this site years ago.

I'll take a show. Whatcha got from 95 or 98?

Honestly, you should go through them and be sure you don't have any alternate sources to those currently circulating. One of the major problems the PJ live community has is the blanket acceptance of current sources as the "best" - and yet, it seems like superior sources exist of a lot of shows. Like last year when a new, better source of 9/29/1996 was torrented.

Most of your cassettes are probably garbage at this point but it's a good idea to check just the same.

Good idea. I'll briefly go through them one last time and see if anything strikes my fancy. Then it's the trash can

probably nothing that's not already out there digitally

Cassettes are cool again, so tread carefully.

Really? Cassettes are cool? Says who? That might change everything!

yeah man, they're all the rage right now. there's an entire "new release" cassette rack at my record store. they just reprinted Nirvana's Bleach. lots of smaller bands are doing cassette-only releases too. which is annoying, but whatever.

Please don't tell me Easy Street is doing this? Not the W. Seattle one though, that one sucked. I liked the Queen Anne one.

Queen Anne closed down a couple of years ago and turned into a Chase Bank

(this is happening all over Seattle)

and yes, it was at Easy Street

ugh, that sucks. Although I did get my free tickets to the secret EV show before his first tour at that West Seattle Easy Street.

you should post a list of what you got cos i'd be interested too.

Really, some of you would be interested in 2nd+ generation cassette copies of pre-98 shows with shitty handwritten setlist labels?
