[Midnight Oils Tree]

Last chance to signup for this tree.  Please note it looks like a kind list
member is going to be able to give me the missing encore for Chicago.  If I
get it, the tree may be 4 disks instead of 3.  Looks like we will have
enough branches for this tree structure to be flat and move quickly.

cheers,
eric

Time to circulate more works of artistic merit from the unique, special
Oils!  Before going further, its important that I emphasise that this is for
trading only and that no copies should be sold, auctioned or anything else
like that.  That would be completely against the spirit of this list and the
Oils.  PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY TO THE END IF INTERESTED.

The tree will be 3 CDRs and have two shows:

July 11, 2002 - Madison Wisconsin, audience recording via Coresounds Cadiods
w/bass filter>D100 from stage center-left FOB; nice full length show with a
few rarities; decent audience sound quality

July 4, 2002 - Chicago FM broadcast direct to computer via digital
connection; outstanding sound quality - you definitely won't want to miss
this 70 minute gem but please note that it does not have the two song encore
on it - they were not broadcast except as background for a minute or so of
announcements

Spots in the tree are available for branches and leaves.  Branches must
agree to do b&p if their leaves request, on a 1:1
basis - no 2:1 or similar things.  If you are reading this and do not
understand how trees work, go to the following web page for a
description: http://hyperrust.org/Rust/TapeTrees.html

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY - INVARIABLY SOME DO NOT - I DO NOT
HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH SUCH FOLKS
=================================================================
To sign up as a branch, send a return email with the following information:

in subject line: BRANCH LOCATION #
where location is your country or state (if U.S.) and # is the number of
copies you will make for leaves (e.g., BRANCH  NORWAY 5

in the message body, all on one line please provide:
Name,  Email address,  Location  # (e.g., Petra Garrett,
oilsaregreat@hotmail.com, Norway 5)

below that please tell me what equipment and software you use to extract and
burn discs and then lastly please include your trade
list or link to your trade list.  All of this information is needed to try
to ensure we have experienced folks branching.
=======================================================
To sign up as a leaf, please send a return email with the following
information:

in subject line: LEAF LOCATION
where location is your country or state (if US)
(e.g., LEAF MICHIGAN)

in the message body,
on one line please provide
Name, Email address, Location

=============================================================
Do not expect a reply to your email immediately, but I will post the
structure within 1-2 weeks of closing the offer.  Unless
there is some emergency causing a delay.  I will post the structure as soon
as it is ready.  While I do not intend to be
slow about all this, I would appreciate patience by all participants.  I
have run many trees over the years and they
always get done but I sometime run into somebody who gets very impatient.

Next, there are no guarantees that everyone will get disks.  The tree will
be limited by the number of volunteers we have to serve
as branches for this big set of disks.  But, I'll bet there will be at least
10 branches which means that even if they only handle
leaves, a lot of copies will go into circulation.  If you get left out as a
leaf, I hope you understand.  You should be able to post for the tree.

Also, this will be an unmonitored tree -- that is, I will not be checking to
see that it is moving smoothly.  It is up to leaves
and branches to tell me of a problem and then I will get involved.  If you
do not tell me, I will not know about the problem.

Hope that is clear.  Looking forward to spreading the good tunes from this
great band.

Cheers,
E
