I am thinking about setting up a Police Hotline or Carracho server for people like me who have a decent but limited collection of live Police recordings, rarities and articles / pictures - and who are sick of having no access to the rest! I have recently started using soulseek (a bad mac version) and have had very limited success in downloading rare Police recordings. I remain surprised at the overall lack of Police web trading there is via general 'net transfer. There seems to be a small pool of long-term collectors who have an amazing stock of Police recordings etc but are simply unwilling to sell copies or will only trade - which is useless for most of us because we only have what they already have anyway. Don't you hate it when you check out someone's boot list and it just kills you that they won't make any copies because you have nothing they want? In frustration at how precious some of these collectors are, and how expensive it is to procure CDR bootlegs etc from around the world, I figured screw it! This is the age of the 'net! Why should avid Police fans have to miss out on what could be readily exchanged between themselves via a Police dedicated server? And for the curious, my server would basically have an upload for account policy and would initially contain most of the Rolling Stone covers and articles, the instrumental mixes of "Roxanne" and "EBYT", the '86 version of "de do do do...", a couple of soundboard recordings from the Zenyatta tour (Australia), some Capitol / BBC sessions and three quarters of the excellent 1979 Amsterdam (Paradiso) show... among other bits and pieces.... I would like to hear what people out there think of my idea.... tj
