  Time to circulate more works of artistic merit from the unique, =
special
  Oils! Before going further, its important that I emphasise that this =
is for
  trading only and that no copies should be sold, auctioned or anything =
else
  like that. That would be completely against the spirit of this list =
and the
  Oils. Indeed, I hope most will already own the vast majority of the =
Oils'
  commercial releases, both because they are wonderful and also so that
  the band can continue to make a living from its creativity and hard =
work.

  PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY TO THE END IF INTERESTED.

  The tree will be 8 CDRs with four shows, each with their own unique
  merit:

  October 6, 1993 Los Angeles - disk two also contains set by openers =
Hothouse
  Flowers and also HHF join Oils on encore song "Land"; recorded on DAT =
and
  then transfered from DAT clone to CDR

  August 28, 1993 Atlanta - decent audience recording on DAT and then
  transfered from DAT clone to CDR

  June 22, 1990 Irvine Meadows - Oils joined on "Beds are Burning" by =
the
  openers, Hunters & Collectors"; recorded onto analog cassette, =
transfered to
  DAT and from DAT to CDR; some small cuts for tape flips and before =
encores;
  at end of disk 2 are two radio interviews done at time of Scream in =
Blue
  Live and Earth, Sun, Moon

  November 4, 1988 San Diego - bit more audience noise but really high =
energy
  show; recorded onto analog cassette, transfered to DAT and from DAT to =
CDR;
  some small cuts for tape flips and before encores

  This has been a labor of love - lots of time was spent tracking these =
down,
  borrowing them from the owner, transfering to CDR, making setlists, =
etc.

  Spots in the tree are available for branches and leaves. Branches must
  agree to do b&p if their leaves request, on a 1:1
  basis - no 2:1 or similar things. If you are reading this and do not
  understand how trees work, go to the following web page for a
  description: http://hyperrust.org/Rust/TapeTrees.html

  PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY - INVARIABLY ABOUT 20% DO NOT - I =
DO
  NOT HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH SUCH FOLKS

  TO BRANCH:
  To sign up as a branch, send a return email with the following =
information:

  in subject line: BRANCH LOCATION #
  where location is your country or state (if U.S.) and # is the number =
of
  copies you will make for leaves (e.g., BRANCH NORWAY 5

  in the message body, all on one line please provide:
  Name, Email address, Location # (e.g., Petra Garrett,
  oilsaregreat@hotmail.com, Norway 5)

  If you branched on the other trees we did, just include your latest =
trading
  list. If new,
  below that please tell me what equipment and software you use to =
extract and
  burn discs and then lastly please include your trade
  list or link to your trade list. All of this information is needed to =
try
  to ensure we have experienced folks branching. Also, there may be a =
few
  things to pass along in 4-8 weeks so please let me know if you are =
willing
  or are not willing to branch a second time. Reusing the same structure =
would
  save a lot of time.

  FINAL NOTES

  Do not expect a reply to your email immediately, but I will post the
  structure within 1-2 weeks of closing the offer. Unless
  there is some emergency causing a delay. I will post the structure as =
soon
  as it is ready. While I do not intend to be slow about all this, I =
would
  appreciate patience by all participants. I have run many trees over
  the years and they always get done but I sometime run into somebody
  who gets very impatient. In any event, the seeds and art are already =
done
  for the branches at the top of the structure so once the structure is
  designed,
  it will move quickly.

  Also, there are no guarantees that everyone will get disks. The tree =
will
  be limited by the number of volunteers we have to serve
  as branches for this big set of disks. But, I'll bet there will be at =
least
  5 branches which means that even if they only handle 3-5 leaves each,
  a lot of copies will go into circulation. If you get left out as a
  leaf, I hope you understand. You should be able to post for the tree.

  Also, this will be an unmonitored tree -- that is, I will not be =
checking to
  see that it is moving smoothly. It is up to leaves
  and branches to tell me of a problem and then I will get involved. If =
you
  do not tell me, I will not know about the problem.

  Hope that is clear. Looking forward to spreading the good tunes from =
this
  great band.

  Cheers,
  E
