Same deal as last time. The LP's are free, you just have to come pick them up. A majority of them are from the $1/$2 piles at the used record stores; with some-to-lots of scratches. There are some in mint condition though. One or two have a forward skip in them; any that had back-skips were thrown out. As before, these are LP's that I've converted to MP3 files and cleaned up the scratches. If you want them in electronic form as well, let me know. They are listed in no particular order below. Unclaimed ones will go to RockZone next Saturday.

Terry - I would love to get "Sluberin on the Cumberland" buy John Hartford. I am in Georgia - where are you located?
Terry - I see you;re in AZ - way too far for me to come pick up the Hartford Album. Is there any possible way you could mail it to me? (I would of course be willing to pay) - you state it is signed by John Hartford??
My email is starhopper@cox.net - I would really appreciate you emailing me!
Lyle
Hi Lyle. i'll drop you an e-mail re this.
What a great collection of albums. I've actually been searching for Don Nix' Gone Too Long and Skyrider for quite some time. Is there any chance to get them electronically? Would be happy to compensate with any music you might be interested in.
