Hi everybody!!! OK this site is a dream come true... I mean having the chance of finding all these rare MP3’s ready for burn on a CD-R and also all the sleeves and inlays... well what more could one wish for? Some time ago I would have done everything by myslef... downloading, burning, printing, cutting... but as I no more have free time (I have a very busy job) I was wondering if the people of the RoxService site are selling these CD-R’s already done with all the prints on good quality paper. OK I know I’m asking a lot but it would take me many weeks to do everything by myself....

well, well, well... good q! First of all I must say I hardly have any spare time left between work, studies and such... And knowing from myself I don’t wanna buy each single non-rox-record P&M appear on with one single song - this simply seemed the best solution. All commercially available records have ’bad’ 80kbps-quality to give you an impression of what the songs sound like. Then by following the links you can buy the records on-line. Am not recording any CD’s for sales and am definitely not gonna start on that... that’s why the pdf-files of high quality are on the site ... so that you can print good covers yourself. Only and really the only case in which I’d record CD’s (have a CD-printer still), is if someone would come up with some nice recordings that I’d like to have on CD myself, so that we could swap. That way fresh ’n frequent updates are assured as well. Re. other artists’ tracks... anyone has any suggestions? If fact, it’s somewhat the Roxbytes-concept integrated with lyrics, an extensive discography, comments and artwork.

Hi Marcus, I fully agree with you. First of all I’d like to thank you for sharing this rare stuff with all the fans. And saying this I cannot also thank all the others who do the same thing. I think you’re site is one if not the best I have ever seen!!! About the non-rare songs it’s good that they’re not full quality so that one can download them and if he likes them buy the album with the link provided (for instance). So now that I know this I’m with you 100%. About selling CD-R’s. I understand you don’t have the time to do it (we share the same problem). Also you don’t want to make a profit with those CDs. The money I was offering were for the work... printing.. cutting... sending.. and not for the actual songs. If EMI one day decides to release such a CD I would buy it at once even if I have all the songs on CD-R so I don’t think we’re damaging anybody. I will surely prepare the CDs on my own there’s no problem. It’s GREAT that you give us this chance so I wasn’t expecting anything else... Thanks again and HAND.

..by the way I would like to thank everybody who’s putting RARE MP3’s on their web sites (keep up the good work). I don’t agree in making available non-rare tracks though...
