Boon Enjoy, but please… Do Not Sell! Do Not Disseminate in MP3 Format… notsaved Background: I was lucky enough to develop a pretty solid virtual friendship with CM, and seemingly was able to succeed where many others have not: getting him to open up his vast collection of recorded material to digitally transfer. The many requests he received over the years were impossible to fulfill, and he honestly felt badly about ‘hoarding’, but there was little way to oblige all of them over the decades of taping, trading, and collecting Perhaps he saw in me the chance to get his tapes transferred for himself, and also out to the many folks who had requested them since his last trading days many moons ago... What we have in his’ collection is a brilliant snapshot of the Portland \ Eugene \ Corvallis, Oregon scene in the early to mid-1980’s. Then, after a prolific spell taping his favorite bands in and around Portland, he scored a job working for Touch’n’Go sister label Blast First Records out of the UK. He became label support for Band of Susans, and worked closely with many of the stalwarts during the heyday of that label. He has also worked closely with many other bands, in various capacities; including Wire and Nick Cave (at Mute Records); the Buzzcocks, after their reformation in 1989; as well as many, many others…far too many to mention. This series does not even begin to scratch the surface of his collection; much of which is privately recorded and cannot be released to the public without the bands’ permissions. Still, what has been offered up is a pretty amazing collection of recordings, and certainly will bring to light a wealth of new material as well as many upgrades which have remained elusive for a long time. Allow me to give a big thanks to CM for his trust in me, and for opening up his vaults to we fans! notsaved
