Mistermike, I agree that it is an unusual arrangement. I don't know the situation with the rights, but from what I've heard, Tom Huissen has been in contact with John Mayall regarding these recordings so I'm assuming that this arrangement was satisfactory regarding any copyrights, etc. But I don't know the whole story...just passing along info I've received from other people.

Green/Mayall @ Marquee
Whilst I understand the concerns of mistermike, I rather think that we can treat these tapes in a similar way to 'official' bootlegs.
John The Revelator is a Dutch band that has its roots back in the mid to late 60's and Tom himself (who recorded these tapes) has been their mainstay since then. They are very ardent fans of Peter Green, and have been since those original Bluesbreakers days. You can find more about them here:- http://www.johntherevelator.nl/ and read/listen to the section dedicated to Peter here:- http://www.johntherevelator.nl/history/peter_green_ As a disclaimer, I have no association with Tom or the band. I am just providing some details. |

So this is just one of the five discs. How are the other four going to be offered? What price to pay for something we may not want or already have? I'd rather pay Tom for the 1967 discs and leave it to myself if I want some other material.
A better deal would have been to pay 15 Euro for the Marquee recordings and get a free download for the John the Revelator album, should one want that as well. |

john the revenuer
I am somewhat suspect of buying a "pig in a poke" to use a 19th century saying.
Has anyone heard Toms Band? Does John Mayall or Peter get anything out of this? John himself lost a lot of his old stuff in the Laurel Canyon fire and you would think that he would be interested in some of this. He did after all release "The Stumble" and was it "Double Trouble" or was it " So Many Roads"( i forget) from that era. I'm just saying that if it is some sort of financial arangement amongst all the parties i would feel better about this. March 1967....Was Mick still there or was he canned already? doodyhead I assume because Peter John McVie and possibly Mick Fleetwood were in this recording it should be in the pre rumors rather than Peter Green's section. .. |

To me, the whole concept of "I will give it for free... as long you buy a record of a band you never heard about before" seems specially designed for selling the Bluesbreakers record indirectly. I can't help but think that if such arrangement was necessary in first place, there's a good chance that the John hasn't authorized the thing. I apologize if I'm being too suspicious, as far as I know, the records could be perfectly legal. It's just that I would like to know for sure before considering the buy. |

Dear Muddy
Welcome to the ledge. MY thought is that if he did get some feedback from mayall on this i would be happier in this if he would reveal it. There is plenty of free music from the past out there. just ask the greatful dead. i am sure he did not ask mayall permission to record it in the first place. You would think he would be secure enough in his own music not to resort to this vinnie c |

Next offer
Hi all,
Disregarding the discussions above concerning the procedures, I can let you know that Tom has revealed to me that the next disc (Manor House, which is supposed to be better) will be available end of october. Don't know what we'll have to purchase besides. Still, the discussions above seem very meaningful, especially the comment concerning free bootleg recordings like the Greatful Dead. |
