It's time to let this one go, guys. I am getting complaints about users not being nice to each other, though the complainant continues to make inflammatory statements to defend their previous statements. STOP IT. Arguing with other people on the internet is ridiculous and not solving any problems.
I don't want to lock this thread, because if anyone has anything worthwhile to add (as in, a way they got their money back that could be of use to others), this is the place to put it. In the meantime realize that no one is going to change their own opinion of this situation at this point, and don't rise to the bait of responding. Please.

Raeni unlike these other fools, I don't try to stifle freedom of speech and expression. They can say/do whatever they want. I complained about a few posts ONLY because if you read them they are completely attack filled and negative towards me. There is nothing even remotely about anything else but me. Sooo sorry if I don't care to be the centers of their little universes. I don't see anything in them even resembling a positive productive post. They read a 3 page long post of mine that is none of their business (and clearly not addressing anyone but Lee or Van) and they respond with a 3 line flame post as if their opinion or existence matters to me... When all you can write is hate towards someone else you might as well just go back to your lonely and empty existence and take your unhappiness out there and NOT on random strangers. I don't sugarcoat things nor do I care what any of them think. Notice how I completely ignored and blocked them out. I was writing to lee, that was it. They stick their noses where it doesn't belong and ruin a thread that was perfectly good and meaningful.

I would like to still read about any updates concerning this box set, or the related tapes. The fact that this one person is allowed to turn this thread into a shit storm is annoying.
Although the oblivious nature of her posts is quite amusing...

I'm baffled that the mods haven't banned someone who uses several posts to refer to a forum member (and former collaborator of Mark Lanegan's) as "full of shit", "a prick" and an "asshole". People have been banned for less.

This thread is a serious embarrassment to this board. Agreed! I lost out, I took a gamble that this set may appear and paid good money for it but we all knew it was a big risk. I was going to 'liberate' the maerial for fans on the board but it was not to be. Its only money and im sure this material will be properly released in the future. Some of these comments are just Wow. This whole thread is just... wow, whoa even. I have no words except the above. Close this thread and let us never speak of it again...

I am very sorry that this whole thing happened. I am glad that Sean has apparently got his money back. Buying from a bootlegger is a risk. One of the reasons we never put out much unreleased stuff is that most of it has been lost. I was thrilled when I saw that Rod Doak had all this material. I hadn't heard any of it in years. However instead of letting us have it and put it out or just listen to, he decided to get greedy and try to make a bunch of money (if he sold all that stuff probably $20,000) for himself, ten bucks would have been more appropriate. Rod was a very good friend, supporter, road manager and sound man for the the Trees and all I can say about this is a complete betrayal of that friendship. For anyone that thinks anyone in the Screaming Trees as rock stars, at least speaking for my self, you are dead wrong I think I'm just a normal person who likes to write songs and make music and was luckily enough to be in the Screaming Trees for a few years. We all were very fortunate to do what we did and creatively and artistically it was a dream come true me. As for making money off our music was always very elusive,even when we were on Epic Records. Nowadays we see nickles and dimes here and there but at least Van and I have to have real jobs to support our families. Van is going to put out more old Trees rarities on Strange Earth Records, I don't know if it will include the bootleg stuff because I don't know if we can get it from Rod Doak. Most of it should probably just be on You Tube for free because much of it looks like demos and out takes or stuff I wouldn't want people to have to buy. However I think there is at least a single albums worth of stuff that would be worthy of release on an actual record. (although I think almost all of it is from a cassette recording so that quality can not be too good, the lost album master tapes were reused by the studio they were recorded at and erased. Music is about art and creativity, money and greed just get in the way. Many Happy Returns, Gary Lee Conner Hate to necro but did any of this ever get sorted out? (don't get excited, this isn't new. thread from 2013)
