[mr.benway]

@manilla: you should clean up your desktop

[mr.benway]

Now I wonder, do you know any more good websites of the like? Bring ’em on![/quote:1flmxn14]

Yepp, we do:

Depeche Mode
–
–
Both websites have a phantastic design and the collections are…
_______________________
David Bowie
–
–

_______________________
Bruce Springsteen
–
with an "old school" design…

This is not a collector site with a visual discography
–

The Asbury Park Public Library houses what is believed to be the world’s most extensive Special Collection devoted to Bruce Springsteen and his bands. The collection, dating from 1964 to the present, includes over 10,781 holdings in multiple formats
[/quote:1flmxn14]
Under "current holdings" you find the list of books, song books, tourbooks, magazines, fanzines, Internet articles, academic journals and papers, comic books, selected printed items, and newspaper articles.

[mr.benway]

Ah, so you’ve heard of E.S.T? Well, of course I guess they were pretty big even outside Swedish borders…
A pity Esbjorn passed on last summer. They were great live. "The Lucky Ones" are cool! [/quote:166qbpa5]
They are well known in Europe. In 2002 a friend recommended me a cd called "Strange Place For Snow". So i’ve discovered E.S.T. I’ve never seen / heard them live, unfortunatly i’ve missed them in 2006. The cd "e.s.t live in hamburg" from 2006 sounds phantastic. Phantastic music. It’s tragic that Esbjorn died so young.

[mr.benway]

@honeymade opiate:

here is link to a foo fighter discography: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/ckb/foodisco5.html

[mr.benway]

Hell, yeah… great job Arthur!

They include some fully scanned articles from, who else… mr.benway! [/quote:1ddjteyr]
Don’t mention it.

And i have more magazines (~20) not listed on SPFreaks. More to come in the next weeks.

[mr.benway]

Your professional collectors’ opinion is needed on this one. 2 different members have send this one in, stating it is missing in our online Collection, which is correct… A 2CD promo for The Aeroplane Flies High from Down Under? Genuine? Or not? I’m quite sure it’s not a genuine release, but it’s definately done with "bootie-love"!

Anyway, what do you guys know about this one?

[/quote:6d3flqp3]

I think it’s a booty. But it looks very nice.
On the Jackboot-site it’s listed as bootie: http://starla.org/history/jackboot3/boo … phony.html
Have you the matrix-numbers of the cds? They can tell you the truth.

[mr.benway]
