Hmmmm.....
Not exactly Italy, but if you want, I can connect you to my brother. He will gladly accept all that Manics material.

Scrivi mi in privato per proteggere le tue e le sue informazioni.

We are talking of 200 cds.... removed the hard plastic case and moved them to superlight flexi case but the total weight is still huge...
Postal costs will be a problem even if he is in Italy unless he lives close to me.... you may ask him and PM me if you want

Before asking him, let's make sure you can actually do this exchange.

Where in Italy are you?
If it's the northern part, you might arrange to meet up and hand it out personally. If you want, of course.

My brother lives in Zagreb, but he occasionally comes back to our hometown in Umag (Istria).
I can't do that myself because, well, the distance... (I'm in Korea)

This a shame really, 20 years ago I would have murdered to obtain Malmessi's live bootleg collection but I guess with online sharing, physical collections have become redundant and difficult to manage and store. Might be worth checking if they're are any Italian bootleg traders left and offer them your collection.

Yes I agree, that's progress.... Internet and file sharing made bootlegs on cd a sort of hobby for old collectors...

I still remember the time spent in trading, sending and receiving cd by airmail (not email ah ah).
I also remember the pleasure in looking at my room with my collection, a lot of cds, all sorted by date but now... ForeverDelayed tour had his section with all the cds having the same nice artwork, and the same for the SATT tour... good times !

Not only file sharing but also 3 children and no more space for my huge collection.... I also have a lot of vinyls and books so I must save space for them at least...

The main issue is that MSP are not famous in Italy, never been famous here so finding a fan is almost impossible and my 2 collections (BOOTLçEGS and ORIGINAL STUFF) are both huge. I do not wat to go crazy splitting them in several postage to several fans...

Look at this thread
http://www.foreverdelayed.org.uk/for...ad.php?t=63515
to see al rthe original stuff that I have...

I don't know if it's progress, I keep on buying CDs, but only original once, for I've never been into live versions (especially if low quality). That's why I'm not interested in them, even though I keep on keeping (pun not intended) my CD collection.
