Hi Folks,

This is Mary Long. As you all know, Ian used to call me a hypocrite. He's a jerk, not knowing what he's saying! But I do forgive him for that, he's sweet though.....

Well, I don't care much about what's legal and what's not, so I collect bootlegs of my sweethearts. (By the way: Ian has no problem with that; he anyway thinks that live albums should be left to the bootleggers - good boy.) I want to emphasize that I'm not making bootlegs, I just like to have them. Neither do I deal with them. I only want to publish the information that I have about DP and related bootlegs on this page, co-writing for my friend Ted Mechanic. He is not responsible for what I'm doing here.....

Ingo Fengler, the "pope of DP bootlegs", hasn't updated his homepage for quite a while, since he's busy writing a book. Well, so somebody else had to do the job.....

I do not claim at all to have the complete information; what you find on this page is just what I have knowledge about, respectively what I have in my collection. Check it out, enjoy it if possible, ask or critizise, or support me with information and opinions. There are the new pages with images of the covers and the tracklists. They are in no particular order; I just scanned them the way I grabbed them. And there is also the old "just text" list which I'm going to link to at the bottom of this page. This page holds even more items since the picture pages hold only the CD covers, while the text list also has the vinyl ones. Someday, I hope to include them here too, just I haven't been able to figure out a decent way to scan them yet.

These pages are just starting, so please understand that there aren't too many reviews yet. I'm going to work on them and update the pages continiously in the future.
