Lya's U2 Trading Page
ATTENTION: Links to my other pages are below.
This is just a small site to facilitate U2 trading.
My rules are simple, use good quality cds (I use Mitsui, Klone or Fuji), burn DAO (disk at once), and let me know if your shows have any errors like ticks, pops or skips.
I'm not interested in trading for shows with 2-second gaps.
If you don't have anything to trade, no problem, email me and we'll see what we can work out. I'm open to B+Ps as time allows.
You have to jump around the pages to find all the links to the tours, a bit of a pain, but hey, it's free!
Notes on my grading: I tried to grade as hard as my high school algebra teacher, who never gave me a break. But if you've traded with me before and don't think I was strict enough or missed any flaws in the discs, please let me know!
As I'd take on any road trip, B's if I really, really liked the show, and Cs I'd leave at home.
I'm looking for any shows I don't have, and to replace poorly recorded ones (Cs, and maybe some B-s, and those with icky gaps)
Shows with a * in front indicate first generation copies, ones I shelled out bucks for before I found generous folks such as yourself.
