Rubber Dubber Records (DL 75065)
the original vinyl bootleg "Who is this ?" .
It's a good "stereo" audience source for this era.
There's a great balance between the instruments and
voices and the energy of this show is very well captured.
This copy rates VG++ as is the sleeve.
Shipping to the UK as al other West European countries is £9.50
"Rubber Dubber was a California based bootleg label, and
started out as a one-man organisation.
The man behind this was quite a colorful character.
Born the son of a Dallas mob boss, he skipped the family business,
enlisted in the Navy and worked for Navel Intelligence.
Upon his discharge, he was hired on as a roadie for one hit wonders
"Paul and Paula."
The Paul part of the act found God mid tour and dropped out and "Dubber"
took his place for the rest of the tour with no one the wiser.
By this time he was obsessed with bootlegs and decided to get in on
it himself. He bought a used rubber swim fin press and converted it to
press LPs and found he was able to produce flawless pressings.
He then set out to record concerts himself. (Thus the name Rubber Dubber)
The biggest problem facing concert tapers was smuggling the recorders
into the concerts and that had to rely on arenas (like the LA Forum) with lax
security. Dubber over came this by attaching a tiny FM transmitter to a
powerful mic and broadcasted the show to a van in the parking lot fitted
with a small recording studio.
Dubber also had quite a number of L.A. based employee's who also did
their share of taping duties, notably in Europe as well.
He was able to have master discs made through a friend he made
while on tour who worked for a well known
"Sound Lab" known and respected for their high "Fidelity" mastering
who also worked on his tapes. The result was a pressing and sound
quality superior to anything on the market.
He would send copies of his bootlegs not only to major music magazines
to review, but to the record labels of the bands he was bootlegging as well.
Talk about balls! Upon getting one of his bootlegs in the mail,
some top brass at Atlantic Records were so impressed that they
tried to arrange a meeting with him to buy his tapes and learn his
pressing secrets. (This meeting never happened, though).
He also did interviews for Rolling Stone and several LA area radio stations.
Sadly, he got into some trouble which resulted in a death.
He`s now serving a life sentence in New Mexico"
