RE: Ballentine's demise for now

["Christopher Barbero" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much Les.

While I was away bouncing around the globe, I received a cease and desist
order from Atlantic Records.  My sister who is an attorney worked on it and
recommended I pull my sites down to keep pressure off.

The whole thing was this as I see it.  (Being legally dumb)

The content which mixed from info on the band to the ability to shop for Zep
related cd's at cd-now.com to all the detailed info on the bootlegs I own.
I guess while not making a dime off the site, it had links to where you
could buy legit releases as well as links to out favorite bootleg shops
around the world.  Also pretty much spelling out how to obtain trades ect
went over the line.

Here are my plans.  I am going to tinker with Sessions and Ballentine in the
next few months.  I may just make my site a all out bootleg info site with
no links to buying their cd's as well as any other links to their stuff.

In the re-shaping of the sites (if it happens, heart broken now) I will
combine PB and sessions to where you view the bootleg, and click on the art.
Who knows.

Right now I am pissed that this has happened so not much is going to happen
soon.

I still owe some trades out there and ever7yone will get them soon.

Hope this explains. (FWIW)

Chris

Yep spotted Chris's demise today at work.
Ballentine AND Sessions are for all intents and purposes gone in the
form that we knew them.
I'll let Chris tell the list, if he wishes, the reasons.

For now let's all thank Chris for his stellar contribution to Zep
trading and hope he resurrects what where two shining lights in the Zep
ether to some form we can all enjoy once more.

Thanks Chris, keep your chin up.

Les. :(
