I'd be curious to find out exactly what his share of the liability here is. Seems to me the people who actually stole the intellectual property and released it without authorization are the real villains.
Also, it strikes me as kind of funny that Lindsey's and Stevie's stuff, which arguably would have a considerably bigger audience, has been stolen lots of times in the past and sold as bootlegs. Have Lindsey and Stevie ever gone to the trouble of suing people over it? |

Didn't mean to dig this up again but I wanted to say thanks to Johhny Stew as well.
The more I think about this the more it sounds to me like this SSJ single was legally released at some point (though sneakily under the other name to slide through the legal loophole it couldn't have if it had been released under the Fritz name and I do agree with Javier that it stinks that it was apparently released "behind their back" so to speak) but I suppose if someone is making vinyl copies of it and selling them on ebay or wherever as if they're "originals", then that's more of a counterfeit issue more than a "bootleg". Not that I'm a legal expert but I'd think that's more the direct charge if this is what has in fact happened. Just a thought. John |

I am the one with it
O.K. I am finally coming out of the closet with this.....I am the one with the 45rpm. Well, I am not too proud of what I paid for it, and even less proud of what i have been hearing about it. This item has proven to be something of a curiosity at best, dubious may prove to be a better term for it.
I have yet to actually play it because when i do, I would just assume put that first playing on my hard drive. So I am in need of a little component to do so. I have not yet found the time to run out and get it. I also have yet to read the posts on this item. I thought it best to post this before reading them, I feared I would be up all night addressing them. I did take a quickie scan after this post and needed to post an edit....I hope I haven't upset Mr. Pacheco too much by the purchase. I can say this...I never intended to sell any copies of the recording from day one. It was just a quirky purchase from a fan, not anyone looking to profit. I have nothing but respect for the work...I just want to hear it. Anything that might lessen my chances of hearing more are right out. Last edited by Oona; 07-27-2004 at 08:56 PM.. |

Well, at least we know now that there really are two. And that John was apparently flat out lied to.

New info
Hello,
I'm new here and a HUUUUUGE FM fan! I was reading about the Sincerely San Jose 45 and came across this thread. First things first: Jeffrey Glenn passed away last year. He was one of the most knowledgeable and generous music fans I ever came in contact with. That sentiment seems to have been shared by everyone else, too: notlameblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/rip-jeff-glenn.html It's not surprising that it was Jeff who came across the Sincerely San Jose 45 and was knowledgeable enough and curious enough to make the connection to Fritz. He made a series of 240 CDRs of obscure 45s and gave them away to fellow music fans. I was lucky enough for him to send me (at his expense) vols. 21 & 22. It saddened me to see Jeff accused of being a bootlegger. Javier really showed restraint and respect to not release the Fritz material all those years when I'm sure there were many opportunities to cash in. And I understand Javier being upset about this record having been released without his consent. The only thing is that it's a pre-fame rip-off record that came out in the very early 70's NOT a post-fame cash-in bootleg pressed c. 2004. Here is evidence that the Sincerely San Jose 45 was released around 1970: This is from Billboard magazine, November 21st, 1970.
Google the label owner's name. He seems to still be around and doesn't seem to have the greatest reputation. How it came to pass that he released these two Fritz tracks, I don't know. In his initial posts Jeff Glenn had a few hypotheses. I doubt we'll get the story from the horse's mouth. Luis Suarez |

Re: New info
Thanks Luis for your due diligence in uncovering what I felt in my heart to be true. It was painful to read of Jeff Glenn's name being dragged through the mud and feeling useless to offer a defense, as he'd since passed away (I not long ago found this thread from a search of the 45 in question). The record collecting world is full of shady characters but Jeff was anything but. I knew Jeff from the Poptopia & International Pop Overthrow music fests in LA, and from a music mailing-list I ran called Audities, and he was generous to a fault. Thank you for not only finding the Billboard article, but for posting it here.
Cheers, - Michael Coxe San Jose, CA |

It is now 7 years later- I don't recall if I ever read this thread, and now in Feb. 2011, I have read every page and post in it. It's really very interesting.
Mostly, I feel quite bad for Javier, because as little as 7 years ago, Javier was hoping for either a Fritz reunion or the OK from LB&SN to release music he seemed to still love and felt was part of Stevie & Lindsey's legacy. It is also his legacy, and he didn't have the careers they have had. It seems only fair to him. He wrote that he had 3cds worth of good quality, 'non-filler material' to choose from. I hope Javier is still alive and well. How sad that 7 years ago he was holding out hope that his old colleagues might remember how he helped them develop chops that lead to their fame. Sadder still, the feverish focus he had on 2 bootlegs that sold for less than $1600 and it being enough to upset him. He seems like a good man, and must need a nest-egg at this stage of his life. These posts of his from 7 years ago really are quite heartbreaking, trying to hunt down one person over a bootleg 45. An arty limited-edition Fritz box set of 3000 copies printed, with the 3 cds of music, reproductions of old concert posters or photos with Javier's liner notes, sold at $70 for the 3 cd set could be a comforting $200,000 for the man, maybe. It would be more than 'beer money' he wrote of 7 years ago. I think they'd all be pushing 70 before any court date would be set if there were any objections from the royal court of Buckingham Nicks! Go for it, Dr. Javier P! Your turn now, sir. Last edited by Nikolaj; 02-04-2011 at 04:05 AM.. |

So strange. I had no idea this thread was here but stumbled on "Sincerely San Jose" on an internet search just a couple of days ago. I wondered what it was. I'll have to read through this thread. Would love a Fritz release.
