bas asselbergs: " I have always been a loner"
perhaps this explains it all and why he needs a reality check.
AND "Utti" your comment below is outragious especially for a newcomer to this board.
"Can anybody remove Mr. Scully's and Penetration_gurus replies?"

Man, you guys were supposed to get rid of Lisa again, not all this other stuff.. but I'm happy you're enjoying the thread anyway. I'll keep trying to find older interesting threads :-P
I never said that my recording from Leiden IS the best, i said i LIKE IT BEST.
The quality is uncomparable to other bootlegs i have and have heard. That is because of the recording equipment i used to record it with.
I played that in the bus from London to Southport, on the way to the convention in 1992.
Joris Donkel from the swap office , said later to me, that he never ever enjoyed listening to a bootleg as much as he did in the bus listening to my tapes. Now, h's not the first the best, and i really took that as a great compliment coming from him with all his expertise and knowledge from Queenrecordings.
You also said collectively, that UTTI is the best example of somebody who doesn't know what she is talking about.
She wrote that she had read ALL posts first, and then made her remarks. She has a right to.
But what none of you lot know, is that received lifelong free of charge membership of the OIQFC from Mr. Brian May himself personally!
Now, THAT is a very great honour to receive that from Queen, and she is maybe the only who ever got this?
So, she knows about things, is a friend of Brian,
and certainly deserves a hell of a lot more respect and dignity from all you arrogant @#$%*!
Your responses have made her decide to write her opinion, and i can understand her.
So, lets keep this link as it is stated on the frontpage, the openingspage from queenzone.com as: FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS ONLY
for serious collectors only.
bohemian is wrong about that, it IS a link that is named like this.
so if you are not a serious collector, then please go somewhere else.

Queen did not support Mott The Hoople for their 1974 European Sheer Heart Attack tour.
They headlined at The Hague in December '74

"I never said that my recording from Leiden IS the best, i said i LIKE IT BEST."
No, you said it was the best sounding.
"The quality is uncomparable to other bootlegs i have and have heard. That is because of the recording equipment i used to record it with."
See?
"You also said collectively, that UTTI is the best example of somebody who doesn't know what she is talking about.

1. It wasn't said "collectively". One person said it.
2. If she really read all the posts first, why ask for mine to be removed? I had reasoned and moderate responses to Lisa's posts, and have been fairly lighthearted and reasoned with you. See pages 2 & 4.
"But what none of you lot know, is that received lifelong free of charge membership of the OIQFC from Mr. Brian May himself personally!"
No wonder the fan club is on it's last legs - lifelong freebies?
"Now, THAT is a very great honour to receive that from Queen, and she is maybe the only who ever got this?

Oh I see, friends of Brian's are bigger Queen fans than us mere mortals...come on Basje you know that's not the case.
"Your responses have made her decide to write her opinion, and i can understand her."
Fair enough, the more opinions the better...although your opinion seems to be that we shouldn't have an opinion. Isn't that unfair?
"So, lets keep this link as it is stated on the frontpage, the openingspage from queenzone.com as: FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS ONLY
for serious collectors only.

OK, I'm very serious about my collection.
"so if you are not a serious collector, then please go somewhere else."
Sorry, the more the merrier. Non-serious collectors may wish to ask questions. Although they should now be aware that questions such as "what was the point of getting a Dutch DJ to sign a UK sales award for a record he played in Holland a few times?" may be unwelcome.
Basje, your first post on this thread starts "I am selling". Later you said that you didn't want to sell, you were just highlighting the value of your collection. Later still you denied that this was just showing off.
Criticising everyone that disagrees with you makes your opinions harder to respect.

It is funny to read the topic from the point that basje dropped in with "valueing" his own items on the list.
And then, when people start raising their eyebrows, bas thinks that they, we are jealous that he has this item?....
I personally thought already when you let that borhap item sign by Frits Spits, that you were de valueing the thing for anyone else then you.
Others did say that here as well, and I think that maybe you regret that he put the sign on it, instead of that IT is more worthful for you, basje, I understand that, but do not have the illusion that the item gets more wort with an unknown autograph on it!
Okay, I repeat what others said, but do not think that I am jealous. I should love to have more QUeen items, but I am already happy with a for me unknown book of Mick Rock with pictures taht I havent seen in my 30 years queenfandom :):)
*steps off his soapbox back in a sweaty misery*

"at least we have a proper topic now and a discussion and sharing points of view coming from all that...
me, i couldn't care less wether the items are sold or not.
i am not saying the value is the right one, all i am saying is that IF anyone wants it, that this is the price i want to get in order to let me part with it.
I will not part with it for less, and it is my good right to say this.Who says that i want to part with it at all? As stated before: i must not sell it, but for this money i will! Haven't you all got items in your collections that you would never ever part with? But what if someone comes along and says: "hey...i want that...here you have €100.000,- if you'll sell it for that"...."
Yes, I might sell it if someone would offer me that much money, out of the blue.
But, Basje, that is something completely different than what you are doing: telling everyone these things are for sale.
There is a huge difference between accepting an offer, or trying to sell something and then saying people are jealous because they do not want to buy your story, or pay that ridiculous amount of money for it. I have a nice collection myself, although I don't have many rare items. But the things I have a worth a lot to me, emotionally.
The letter and emails I got from Brian are worth a million to me for instance, but would I offer to sell it for a million? I don't think so! It is worth that much to ME. It is useless to anyone else. It's the same with your Bo Rhap story and the Frits Spits autograph. To YOU it's worth this much. Besides, the thing I don't understand is, if it's worth this much to you, why do you want to part with it?

one more line to add...
I read again what basje all writes, about how many bootlegs and items he has.. I wonder how he is valued by the queen officials, fanclub and the queen members, can you tell me about that, Basje?
I am just curious, because I hear so many rumours, I want to hear it from the person himself how he sees that the queen world thinks about him..
THe queen fans is clear, how they think about him huh?

Sorry for the delay on my reply, Barbara and Hangman, but I ran out of valium and camomille, and had get out and buy some for you...
Hey!!
Someone buy Basje's stuff!! I need the child support!!!!!!! I am SO not kidding!! :-)

Um, my mom was a serious collector also, but sadly, when she got divorced, her ex husband got the records and stuff. that really sucks. But im sure she would have never sold them. She loves queen as much as i do.
ta-ta
ta-ta
Oh, that's so sad.....sorry about her collection - that really sux!!!!!!!!!
I know. I would love to see her collection. She said she was collecting them ever since Queen came out, 73, and when she lost them in the divorce, 91. its soo sad. :(
just a 'bump' for old times sake
Well, this has certainly provided some serious entertainment - and now I'm horribly curious about what exactly was going on with Lisa for the first few pages...
Hm...I'm now rather intimidated by the vast majority of those who posted previously, especially as I've been thinking about beginning a (obviously small) collection of my own...But if anyone wouldn't mind offering advice to a very new Queen fan, I would most certainly appreciate it.
Oh dear, I suppose in asking for help I've just admitted I'm not a serious collector myself, haven't I?
Oh well...
Denki denki!
