TODD/UTOPIA AND RELATED ARTISTS ON CD-R

THIS IS A REFERENCE PLACE FOR BOOTLEG STUFF I HAD PRIOR TO 2008 ARENA TOUR. I AM NO LONGER COLLECTING/TRADING THIS STUFF IN ANY WAY AND THESE PAGES ARE NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF SAME. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF EFFORT TOWARDS THIS SCENE. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS IS GOING ON STILL-THERE ARE STILL THEIVES AND CRIMINALS AMONG US! WATCH OUT...IM HALF-JOKING, OF COURSE

FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, ALL TODD, UTOPIA AND NAZZ ARE BANNED FROM DIME A DOZEN. THERE IS A LETTER FROM ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING TODD THREATENING LEGAL ACTION FOR ANY SUCH CONTENT. YOU CAN SEE IT AT THE SITE. I AM UNSURE ABOUT ANY OTHER PIER TO PIER PLACE WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING. ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE...AT THE REQUEST OF THE ARTIST (AS THE LETTER STATES). AT THIS POINT, I NEED NO MORE INFORMATION OR CLUES TO SOLVE MY PUZZLE, SO TO SPEAK. ITS AMAZING HOW HARD HEADED YOU CAN GET ABOUT STUFF SOMETIMES. ITS MY TIME TO GET OUT.

IF YOU ARE AS BEWILDERED/PUZZLED BY THIS MOVE AS I AM, TAKE COMFORT TO KNOW THAT MOST MODERN ARTISTS (WELL ABOVE 80%) WOULD LOVE YOU TO CARE ENOUGH TO TAPE/BOOTLEG THEIR MUSIC. MOST NEW BANDS KNOW THE VALUE. ITS ONLY WHEN YOU SET THINGS UP BACK TO BACK AND GET THE DIFFERENCE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT THAT YOU "GET IT"-THOSE WHO KNOW KNOW THAT THIS IS WHERE THE REAL LIFE IS. UNLESS YOURE SELLING A PRODUCT LIKE BUBBLEGUM, ETC. (OR A TOP 40 ARTIST WHERE ONE SHOW IS THE SAME TAPE EACH NIGHT) MOST OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE INTO COMMUNICATION, NOT SO MUCH DICTATION IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL ASPECTS OF THINGS. WHATVER HAPPENED (MONEY PROBABLY) TO LOSE THIS HERE, THERES ALWAYS OTHER SCENES INTO IT. IVE HEARD THEY ARE DOING WEBCASTS AND CHARGING FOR AWATS 09..FUCKING FINALLY THE LIGHT GOES OFF!!...I DONT KNOW BUT IT WAS PROBABLY DOUGS IDEA..THANK GOD FOR DOUG FORD-YOU SHOULD ALL KISS HIS FEET FOR ALL HE'S DONE..I MEAN THAT SINCERELY

BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME ABOUT IT, I AM SORRY BUT I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO COPY ANYTHING FOR ANY REASON AND I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME REASONS. I AM NOT CONTINUING THIS ON THE SLY OR ANYTHING..I AM SINCERELY DONE-ONE DAY MAYBE ILL GET MY SHIT TOGETHER AND AUCTION OFF MY COLLECTION FOR CHARITY OR SOMETHING...AND IF THERES ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO WORK A BIT, I STILL HAVE HOURS OF TR VIDEO THAT HASNT SEEN THE MODERN LIGHT OF DAY IN VHS FORMAT-(DRYING UP AS WE SPEAK). IF SOMEONE REALLY WILL USE IT, ITS YOURS

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF APPRECIATION. AGAIN, I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED OR KNEW ME THROUGH THIS WHOLE SCENE. I HAD A LOT OF FUN.

1969-1971	THE NAZZ RETROSPECTIVE FORESIGHT	LP (TRANSFERRED BY JON RISEN)	42:17
Date Added:9/20/2001 Track List:HE WAS. SOME PEOPLE. READY I AM. KICKS. BUT I AINT GOT YOU. (TAKE THE HAND-SIC) LOOSEN UP. LEMMING SONG (DEMO). YOU ARE MY WINDOW. OPEN MY EYES (LIVE). CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' (DEMO?) Note:the first in a joint project between me/j risen (who is the man) and whoever else would like to clean up some surface noise on this. This, as you long timers will know is from the legendary bootleg that rumor has it appeared even before some of the same tracks on n3. I have no idea the exact lineup on he was, ready i am and but i aint got you. long rumor has it thats rick neilsen of cheap trick replacing todd on gtr-some have said one or more of these tunes were reworked for the debut cheap trick lp jon did a terrific job but my vinyl is as noisy as all of em. If you can help clean the surface noise let me know. I really like the non tr tunes and the others are ones of many (as you have seen) outtakes from the nazz folks. This is one that should have been available a while back-still worth having with the surface noise (which only seriously affects the first tune).
1971	JAMES COTTON BLUES BAND-TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS (TR PRODUCED)+ BONUS : GREAT IMPOSTERS 20/20/HINDSIGHT-TRIBUTE TO THE NAZZ	LP TRANSFER (ROGER STEEL)	66:41
Date Added:11/15/2002 Track List:THE SKY IS FALLING. LONG DISTANCE OPERATOR. IM A FREE MAN. CANT LIVE WITHOUT LOVE. KIDDIE BOY. SHE MOVES ME. TONIGHT I WANT TO LOVE ME A STRANGER. NOSE OPEN. GOODBYE MY LADY. GEORGIA SWING. BONUS TRACKS : THE GREAT IMPOSTERS "20/20 HINDSIGHT - A TRIBUTE TO NAZZ" FORGET ALL ABOUT IT. NOT WORNG LONG. SHES GOIN DOWN. KIDDIE BOY. HELLO ITS ME. WILDWOOD BLUES. MERIDIAN LEEWARD. LOOSEN UP Note:as far i know, roger does his most important transfer of the recent bunch with this super low noise lp transfer of the legendary bluesman's summit with todd and the gang. norman smart (of recent mountain fame), moogy kilngman and others make their first mark on OH. this does sound a bit dated but included are versions of the nazz tune, kiddie boy as well as the georgia swing (performed in both 71 and 72 radio bcasts) and tonight i want to... (performed 7/1/71 sung by norman)..i think these sessions (although dated sounding in spots-like the blues stuff on the aforementioned bcasts-) are pivitol in the relationship of tr with at least moogster and ND which lead to greater things on down the line. oldtimers will recognize (with a smile) the great imposter which actually was issued by a bootleg company in the 70s/80s whne nazz originals were impossible to find (before the rhino re-issues)-so they thought theyd just hire a dude to re-record them- they are decent but the vocs are not great and it is keyboard driven..i always thought it was kinda funny cause i bought mine without really knowing what they hell it was..after you hear it, although it is respectable,its not todd and you can tell right away-no backing vocs on the tunes at all ...thank you for preservation sake for this long overdue document-which i believe has never been issed on cd...thanks again to one of the all time tr collectors, mr roger steel from cleveland, ohio
1971	JERICHO	ROG STEEL (LP)
Date Added:1/16/2003 Track List:TRUE FINE GIRL. THE ROAD I NEVER TOOK. LONELY AS ME. CHEATER MAN. BABY'S GONE AGAIN. GOING TO THE COUNTRY. FOOL KILLER. INTRO: MY BLUE HEAVEN. BACKTRACK. MAKE IT BETTER. S.S.#4. DO YOU WANT ME?. CANT SEEM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Note:one of the first ampex tr productions in 1971. its rock, its old, it does however have that todd sound in places and tr does do some producing on this one...you should hear this one-the band is ok, tunes are pretty good..from long island????
7/1/71	PHILADELPHIA SIGMA SOUND STUDIOS	FM SOURCE	63:57
Track List:PRE-BROADCAST BANTER/INTRO. BELIEVE IN ME. LADY ON A TERRACE. I GOT MY PIPE. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. ROCK ALL OVER AGAIN. EVERYBODY IN THE CONGREGATION. BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. TONIGHT I WANT TO LOVE ME STRANGER. OOH BABY BABY. HOLD ME TIGHT (CUTS). BEFORE I GROW TOO OLD. BE NICE TO ME. I'M FEELIN' BETTER. THE BALLAD (DENNY AND JEAN) BONUS TRACK: HOLD ME TIGHT (WHOLE TUNE) Note:this is simply the first ever solo todd performance broadcast live on philly station wmms. the quality is first rate (recorded from frank bubnicks best ever quality cassette-thanks frank..)and its about time this show made to cdr. hear the premiere recordings of all of these tunes. the same band as hempstead a year later but with the moogster added-promoting the ballad album! todd (as was the case in 72) shares the spotlight a bit much but his guitar is fierce. yes.. unless someone comes up with a nazz live tape, this is the first ever live tr show thats out there. the mix was done live by jim rowe (who recorded runt and ballad). jim gave us occassional volume bursts when tr played hot lead guitar (hey it was 71 now....) but other than that.. wow..this was probably originally from a cassette source as evidenced by the cut during hold me tight, the same place my 90 cuts on the whole program from a different source. but folks..this is really something special that is preserved on cd at long last. the bonus track (and post banter) completes the parts that were missed from the best source (and come from the second best source i could find). Upgrade realized one step from the master reels (thanks to Bobbo Stanislowski. ESSENTIAL.
