i know that it has bin said before that jorgensen will not discuss what they have and don't have concerning soundboards , but i just can't help but wonder what is in their possession , would think that the fans are owed some info on what is in their hands , like if there are soundboards of pontiac new years , ashville shows from 75 along with many others, i think it would benefit them to tell us what they have , i'm tired of going through the tunzi sessions book and seeing so many titles/dates etc and would have thought that jorgensens book [a life in music] would have dealt with this but of course it didn't , why is my question and why all this secrecy , i just hope we see some great soundboard releases this year and the years to come.

My take is that the whole thing resorts to money $$$..those who have these recordings want astronomical amounts for them, and on the flip side you have the expensive royalty payments that have to be made if they are released (as i mentioned earlier).

Exactly, the peoples in possesion of these tapes is more than likely demanding a good deal of cash, more than FTD can pay. That said we can't really blaim the collector either since he/she had to pay up for the tape, also the value of the item will decrease alot when it has been released. So a collector will only sell with a good profit.

But I guess that BMG has enough Soundboards in their own vaults to please us for a while. And I think they still have a ace or two to give us, not only soundboards but reel to reel recorded concerts aswell.
