Due to ever increasing debt I'm selling off my 1966 Vox 715... set price of £1650 for head, footswitch and original power cable. I bought it last year and it was serviced by plexi palace forum member oasisbluenose. He'll know more about what was done to it(not that much really), but I still have the original parts he replaced. It also comes with a footswitch. He modified my Vox

Get a Squier Classic Vibe telecaster... Relatively cheap, they are consistently well made, sound and feel great. I recently sold my 3 pickup Gibson les paul custom, bought the squier as a cheap workhorse type replacement that wouldn't be too hard to replace/cost too much were it to get stolen or damaged at gigs etc. It's as good as any guitar I've played or owned!

Quotestoneswashed77 what do you mean shop? i think you download illegal, don´t you? Hi there Mr double standards! Got a grudge? No, as far as downloads go I usually only go for stuff you can't buy officially like live stuff, outtakes, different mixes etc. ><

Quoteguyrachel I feel that they are both a bit embarassed by Brian's singing, he looks self conscious as though he's trying to be cool, to be let in - or is that just hindsight ? A mix of all of the above imo. I like that clip a lot, but there is a bit of a clash going on regarding vocals.

QuoteKeefintheNight82 My point of view is, bootlegs are not the same as downloading illegally. You are not taking money directly out of the hands of the artist. If the material is offcially released, then yes, you are stealing if you have an illegal copy.

Quote71Tele Some basses of the time had built-in Fuzz switch. I think maybe the Vox Wyman Bass did (can anyone verify?) Not on his Wyman basses, none that he's shown using anyway, his later Vox astro bass had inbuilt fuzz etc though. He got that some time in 1968.

Quotestoneswashed77 no that´s not double standart. bootlegs are a completely different story than stealing official releases! i would consider bootlegs illegal only if they would sound good. but as long as a small recorder and two mics is not gonna get you anywhere near the quality of an official live recording it´s not stealing. that´s like telling me making a video with my cell phone w

QuoteRKH1981 after reading that article, got the impression that the overdubbed outtakes are going to stir up some controversy... Awesome article though! I'm really excited for the re-release. Yes, it seems to imply that some of the tracks may not be from the exile period.

Quotestoneswashed77 i own some bootlegs, but don´t think this is illegal. You have double standards Mr stonewashed77! But it's ok so do the stones and most humans. The band gets no money from those bootlegs nor did they authorize them.

QuoteGazza Doodling is doodling, and singing out of tune unfinished lyrics is just as unlistenable whether it was recorded in 1970 or recorded in 2010. Hmm, such things are of interest to those that are interested in the bands creative process and how the tracks were before they reached the finished version... amongst other things.

Olympic is about much more than the stones! I just hope the building survives and doesn't get demolished or radically changed outside. The 'classic' innards are long gone so that doesn't really matter too much. Is it listed at all? The surrounding area and people are nice, there's a cool little cafe beside it which had some very nice cake when I visited in 2009.

Outside of obsessive fans like us, noone is really interested in hearing recordings of the band playing unfinished songs without any vocals. As a compromise, of the tracks they have overdubbed on to they could have included the before and after versions. There is plenty of space on a CD. This gives them freedom to overdub as they please(which they have anyway), but also allows more hardcore/p
