Hello! I am interested in Van Morrison trading for the most part. My list assumes all items to be Van unless noted. I enjoy trading, but do not sell tapes or CDRs. I have a CDR burner and hope to do all my trading digitally from now on.

I usually include whatever jewel case artwork I have. No disc labels as they seem to just bubble up and cause problems with car players and such. If trading overseas just the discs and artwork mailed to save on postage. If you set up a trade with me let me know what you would like to include as part of the trade. Otherwise I will include artwork expect similar in return.

My typical method of producing artwork is use color copies. The quality is so much better than scan and print.

"Quality" refers to sound quality of my copy, not performance quality. For reference:

If the music is from a CD or taped for me from a CD, I listed the title first; otherwise I listed the concert venue first and title (if known) second. See Van Morrison homepage bootleg discography for set lists (The fantastic Van Morrison website) or (Setlist.com has most Van setlists) or just ask me. I typically use:

I use EAC for DAE and burn using DAO (Why do it any other way?). Please ask if you don't know what that last sentence means.

I am somewhat newbie friendly. But understand I am a very busy person so arrange anything ahead of time with me. I am only interested in spreading the music. So let me know if you enjoy what we have traded. And by all means let me know if their is any problems with the material I have copied for you. I try to keep the trades from falling too far behind but it can take me up to 3-4 weeks to complete a trade at times. If this is a problem you may want to try back in few weeks. I do try to keep those whom I am trading with informed of the status/progress of the trade.
