There are so many of us interested.  If we all agreed on one tape, perhaps the one that has the most "full content" in regards to songs, and contact Dan (if anyone has that ability) or the auction house (probably cheaper to cut them out) and offer an amount of money.  Let's say $1500 for one and purchase it, only 15 of us would have to chip in $100.  We could then move on to the next one.  Almost like a payment plan, lol.  

All of those who donate get the files first, then upload them for everyone after all the original donors get the files.  

 

Thoughts?

Sounds like something we could/Should look into

This set looks less interesting, we have all of the songs, and the unreleased ones are just a work in progress... I wonder how much we can offer...

I don't have facebook, and the group is private, could you please copy and paste here the post and pictures?

For sale as 1 lot — $7500 (open to offers that I'll pass along):

4 *original* Madonna & the Sky / Emmy / Breakfast Club-era audio cassettes circa 1980. These audio cassettes are in used, vintage condition but will play/could be professionally, digitally duped.

NOTES: "Quicksand" and "Hold On" are two songs in their infancy as Madonna is writing and singing them. These songs are apparently unheard elsewhere.

Madonna sings on "Trouble" and "Hothouse Flower," and sings backgrounds and plays Farfisa keys on "A Bird Free."

TAPE 1: end of something / "Safe Neighborhood" / "Quicksand" (Madonna writing a song) / "Hold On" (same — snippet)

TAPE 2: "Trouble" / "Hothouse Flower" (Madonna on keyboards) / "A Bird Free" (Madonna on keyboards and backgrounds, Dan Gilroy singing) / "That's a Nice" (Madonna on keyboards, Ed Gilroy singing) — Gary Burke bass, Mike Monahan drums & Gilroy brothers guitars on all these

TAPE 3:  "Little Boy Blue" — Madonna & the Sky  / "Shine a Light" — Madonna & the Sky / "Safe Neighborhood" — Madonna & the Sky / "Love for Tender" — Emmy (Gary Burke on backgrounds, Brian Symmons on guitar, Stephen Bray on drums) / "No Time for Love" — Emmy (Gary Burke background vocals) / "Bells Ringing" — Emmy (Gary Burke on backgrounds) / "Drowning (in an Ocean of Love) " — Emmy (Gary Burke on backgrounds)

TAPE 4: "Temper Temper!" / "Go Down Sun" / "Trouble" — Madonna keyboards / "Hothouse Flower"

Thank you @sbrombolessio

It's not a resale, it's a new set of tapes.

On Instagram the price wasn't specified, I think it's too high maybe?

[club78boy 14,972]

way too high for LQ recordings :(

How much are they asking?

The price is way too high indeed, but I wouldn't call these "LQ recordings". And once professionally transfered, they can be enhanced. For instance, reg. the Gilroy audio tapes : Has anyone noticed the quality difference between the clips shared by the Guernsey auction house (raw transfers) and the clips used in the "Madonna & The Breakfast Club" documovie (properly cleaned and enhanced)? Same sources, *very* different quality and clarity. Audio tape transfers are tricky.

Be nice if he took $5000 for all of them. If we could get 25 forum members to each chip in we could possibly make it happen?

On facebook he is asking 7500.

We could still offer him a deal to accept a crowdfunding from Infinity to make them available for everyone.

The 4 persons who give the most will keep the actual tapes.

I still have the impression that tape 3 might be not new, and be the one where the Emmy bootlegs come from.

Does anyone know Matthew personally?

A new thread has been created for the crowdfunding:

Were any of the Madonna songs that were in the auction released in full length?
