walter's walker Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Anyone heard from Air Raid as to their new website or ordering instructions? I don't personally have so much of an issue with Moonchild. $11 for a factory-made 3 disc set is a fair price to me! Yeah, I could download it and burn it myself, but like several other people here, I got turned on this through bootleg buying 40 odd years ago. I like a physical copy of a recording. Something I can hold in my hand. I like showing a fellow fan a release they've never seen before. I've probably bought 30 Moonchild titles in the last year, Zeppelin and Beatles mostly, how could I not? Many of the home-burned discs I made 15-20 years ago don't play any more, these give me an opportunity to replace some dates that I have lost, and hear some upgrades to older releases that I haven't chased down at a budget price of less than $4.00 a disc on a 3 disc set (plus postage of course). They're not making a *huge* profit on them, either, obviously, so I don't know what the issue is. Affordable Bootlegs? Yes, thank you!

They *are*? Why would they pirate their own material at 1/4 the price of their regular titles? It seems to *me* that EV is offering a budget line of lesser-priced sets to compete with Moonchild. The three ''Evolution Is Timing'' sets and the "Mike the Mike" double box set, for example, or ''Dark Side of Zingpan'' immediately come to mind.

walter's walker Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just recieved this Email this AM-- It is unclear if they're going to another website provider, or E-mail lists. I look forward to doing more business with them. "This is Air Raid. Thank you for supporting the site for 20 years. Due to the influence of Covid-19, the provider was closed. However, AirRaid's business continues. We are looking forward to your order. We will contact you by e-mail with information on new music in the future. I look forward to working with you.

walter's walker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 If you have done business with Niwa, you may write him at his e-mail address and make inquiries. I just ordered the ''Live Yardbirds'' reissue and the ''Maryland Moonshine" repackage from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby_Dick_Ale Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Latest from Niwa (feb. 8th): Hi, We are making a list for February stock. It does not cover all of our inventory, but we will add it little by little. There is a list of Empress Valley Led Zeppelin and Others, Moonchild Records. If you would like to distribute the list, please contact us. I look forward to working with you. Thanks Niwa I haven't heard since...

AchillesLastBand Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Seconded. I've yet to hear 9/24 Osaka but 9/23 is just about as good as it gets in my book. Though I have my doubts about whether EVSD could better or even match @ZepHead315's 9/23 remaster posted here on the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly cover and inapt title If you ask me 🤨, but for the rest very pleased with it. No disturbing micro pauzes between tracks (like on their last couple of EV clones, LA Forum 75 and Osaka 71). Wanton Song and No Quarter have AUD patches. The tour program is blurry though. Older boot reproductions were better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattius Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) This release by Graf is just fabulous. I've always had a a bit of a problem appreciating this gig mainly due to the issue that Trampled Under Jimmy's Foot (SIRA) has a really grating distorted bass sound!! This release was virtually all Source One. Some years later I secured a copy of Holy CD last part of the gig, Source 2 Millard recording. Oh, how I dreamt of having the whole gig in this kinda quality. Now with the release of GRAF'S 3 source release which contains much of the third source, my dream is pretty complete & I place this gig as one of the best & most enjoyable 1975 Non Soundboard releases available. NQ & Dazed are absolute standouts. James Patrick is burning bright! Seek & Enjoy!! Edited July 10, 2021 by Mattius adding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
