Anyone here know anything about the BTB production label?
The reason I ask is a pitiful story. Like many people here I want to get hold of quality footage of the original Van Halen live in concert which is not that easy. So far I have Largo '82 and Argentina '83 plus the US festival. But nothing on DVD.
So one day I'm bidding on ebay for Van Halen live in Sau Paulo '83 on DVD, then all of a sudden it disappears so I contact the seller and say I'll buy from him outside of the auction, yes I know this is a big NO NO and you should never do this. Well I did and I've learnt my lesson.
OK still with me? So this was about 3 months ago and guess what? The DVD still hasn't arrived. No surprise! Now I contacted the seller several times and he tells me it must've gotten lost because he definately sent it. He promises to send another one. Guess what this doesn't show up either so the game continues to this day. He promises to send another one it doesn't show up I contact him again.
So I'm not going to say who this guy is (yet). But, this is what he told me in his last email:
"Anything you see with a BTB production label is MY material! I make dvd's...I'm not some kid that just sells them. I am the source for 90% of the VH dvd's out there....so if you buy them from somewhere else and it has my label on it...then you could've just got it from me....if you buy it else where and it doesn't have my label then you're wasting your time! I've been collecting for 20 years and most of my stuff is the best you can find."
Well this didn't make me buy more thankfully. Well what can I say? Perhaps other people have had better dealings with BTB, if so let's hear about it. Otherwise you have been warned.
