  ideola CD

Sorry for the non DA related post...but does anyone on this list have a mint or near mint original copy of Mark Heard's Ideola "Tribal Opera" CD they would be willing to sell me..or know of someone who does? (And not Radrockers...I refuse to pay $250 for one CD....I don't care who recorded it.)

Contact me at lo_fidelity@msn.com. with info or leads!

later,

The best I can do is send you the CD I made from my cassette.

For a second there, I was thinking you had snagged the rights for a re-issue.

One can only hope huh? What records died a quick death. I wonder who owns the masters since A&M is officially dead?

Thanks...but you don't have to do that...I'm really looking for the original CD...that is really kind though.

I wish...at this point I'd just like to have the original CD! Since I posted the original message, I did find a place online selling it for $85 which is a lot...but cheaper than other places I've seen it. It should not cost this much for one cd.

I DID buy a sealed cassette for 15.00 and felt that was a deal-and now its a CDR.
Radroackers knows there stuff- it IS rare...
The last CD I saw was in a bin (sealed) for about 3.00..of course that was in 1989......and I was broke. Dead broke.
It is a great work- doesnt Fingerprint Records own that material still?

Yeah...Radrockers knows it's rare, but I don't think it warrants a $250 price-tag. Rare or not, thats just stupid. Plus, the only people that benefit from that sale (I imagine) is Radrockers...not Janet Heard or the heard estate. I really would love to be able to re-release it at some point, and give a portion of the profit to the Heard family. I really don't think Fingerprint owns the rights to it, or anything pre-dating Ideola...I think they just own the actual Fingerprint releases.

If you'd asked me two years ago, I could have told you where to get a copy for $20, even when others were selling it for $100.

I do have the CD, but only one copy. I do have a few sealed cassettes of it though, I think. Do you want one of those?

A few years ago we were in contact with Dan Russell
pretty often. Fingerprint had planned an Ideola CD
reissue with bonus stuff at one time. They also
were working on a CD of unreleased Mark Heard material
from the Ideola-Second Hand time period. Last time
we talked to him, he was mastering it. But that was
like 6? years ago.

That's a shame. If only Janet and co could snag back the masters from Chris and the HSH label.

Want to talk about a travesty in the re-issue department. My biggest horror show ever was the quality of Mark's re-issues. Absolutely dreadful.
