Since I am trying to fill in many gaps in FLEX as possible, there are some records I urgently need.

Since many of these records are rare and expensive I don't want the actual records, just a decent recording/copy (or a review if you want to write one). A scan of the cover would also be nice, but it's not necessary. Please note that I need FULL records, not just a song or two.

It would be perfect if you could send me MP3s by email, or if you have more of them, CD-Rs (MP3 CDs or Audio CDs) by snail mail. I can pay for the postage, or we could trade.

If you think you can help me please send me an email by clicking on this link (or send one here: mp3.50.flexblog@spamgourmet.com).

OK, here's the list of my most urgent wants:
(the complete list is much much longer, send a mail and I will send it):

***Absentees - Tryin To Mess With Me 7"
***Dogs - Rot`n'Roll 7", Teen Slime LP
***Endtables - Process Of Elimination 7"
***FORT WORTH CATS - Go Blank 7“,Earthquake At The OK Coral LP
***Grim/Klone Band - No Excuse! 7"
***Hammer Damage - Automatic Lips 7", Keep My Eye On You 12“
***Maggots - Tammy Wynette 7“
***Nervous Eaters - Loretta 7", No Sleep Tonite 7"
***Opus - The Atrocity / Good Procedures 7"
***REJECTS- E.E.G. 7"
***Shit Dogs - History Of Cheese 7", Dog Style LP
***Suicide Commandos - Commandos Commit Suicide Dance Concert LP
***Unnatural Axe - They Saved Hitler's Brain 7"
***Village Pistols - Big Money 7", Big Money LP
***Violators - NY Ripper 7"

OK, I just finished 33% of the rewriting of the book... one third!
Seems like I will eventually finish this sucker.

Today, I photographed about 500 record sleeves. It was not as bad as I thought, I have a pretty good setup with a tripod and a infrared remote control for my camera, so i can shoot pictures at 5 second intervals... put up next record... shoot... next record... shoot...
And since I am using a defined frame for the record position it's really easy to automate the cropping in Photoshop. At least for the LPs, they're all pretty much the same size, it's harder with the 7"s because they differ more in size.
I also finally figured out how to manually set the white balance in my camera, so I won't have to adjust colors in Photoshop. I just adjust levels/contrast a bit and that's it.
I guess it will take me much much longer to (re)name the picture files than to shoot the actual photos.

Well, don't know if anyone is interested in this, but this blog is here to give you an idea of what i'm doing, so here you go.
