UPDATE (12/08/98): Fall 1998 Application & Instructions
The purpose of The New England/New Jersey Trader Group (NETG) is to provide everyone with a high quality, extensive and reliable tape library/database. To start, we are only going to include Phish tapes. However, as time goes by and word gets out we are hoping to include several other bands.
In addition to having the NETG database at your fingertapes, you will be eligible to participate in EXCLUSIVE tape trees. A very generous friend of our online community has volunteered to provide the DAT 'seed' for shows.
Past trees have included 6/6/97 from Brad Sand's House, 4/5/98 Providence Civic Center, 8/9/98 Virginia Beach, and the rare Bivouac Juan/Space Antelope. The tape trading structure will go something like this: There will be one 'contact ' person per state that will be responsible for compiling a master tape list, answering questions, and putting people in touch with one another. We ask everybody that is interested to please email their respective contact person your list with only your best quality (phish) shows. Obviously, everyones idea of what 'high quality' is, differs. So, as things get going and you receive a tape that you honestly don't believe should be considered high-quality, just notify your state contact person who in turn will either remove that one tape or give it out as a last resort. This way we will eventually weed out the poorer quality tapes. Each contact person will then merge everyone's list into one master list. So, for example, you lived in VT and you were looking for a HQ copy of 8/13/93 you would email your contact person who, in turn, would look at his/her master list to see who had this show. The contact person would then write you back with the emails of the people that had that specific tape. If nobody has that show in VT then that state's contact person would contact the other state's contacts. Rather than posting a blind ad and hoping someone responds, you can just use this database. By giving us your lists you are helping to create an extensive, high quality public list. We want this to be semi-permanent thing, meaning, that by submitting your list to us you are agreeing to have your email given out for a possible trade. We understand things come up, school/work gets crazy, people go away and thats all expected and we realize that people are not going to be able to honor every tape-trade that gets requested. At times you may get very few (or no) requests. If you are unable to honor a trade request we simply ask that you communicate this to the person asking for the trade.To have your list removed from the database all you would do is email your state contact person. Also, when submitting your lists, please state whether or not you'd be willing to spin for newbie deals. We dont want to exclude anyone and we understand that not everyone has something to trade. Therefore, if someone writes to us asking about a trade for B & P we would go through our list and ONLY give out those emails of the people willing. Lists should be submitted in the following format (or as close to): Date/ Sets (I, II, I & II)/ Source/Gen (if known)/Rating (should be A/A-/A+)/misc. comments (if any) If you are interested in submitting your list, please email it to the following people: New Hampshire - Jennifer Rhode Island - George New Jersey - John Connecticut - Amy Maine - Will Vermont - Phil Massachusetts - Jennifer
We are sure many things will come up along the way and we will deal with each question/idea/comment as it comes. Any questions can be sent to either: Phil OR Jennifer
