Last Update:
MAY 3, 2023
*PLEASE READ UPDATE BELOW BEFORE PROCEEDING!*
May 3, 2023
*TRADING STATUS: EXTREMELY LIMITED.
*GIFTING STATUS: CURRENTLY NOT GIFTING.
*STATE OF THE LIST: INCOMPLETE, POSSIBLY MISSING MANY AUDIOS AND VIDEOS.
*NO PAGE UPDATES UNTIL I KNOW WHAT IS STILL AVAILABLE. BUT THAT WILL BE A LONG TIME IN COMING. READ BELOW.
About my trade status: In the last three days I've received five emails from the same person, the first of which practically demanded a gift in a time frame, the second which changed to trade without sending me a list to select from or any information concerning the state of their available items, the third which was back to gifting, the fourth which asked if I was busy this week, and the fifth which beleaguered me AGAIN for a reply.
I WORK IN A HOSPITAL. I WORK A MINIMUM OF 12 HOURS A DAY. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO REPLY TO AN EMAIL IMMEDIATELY.
This interaction has halfway put me off of thoughts of trading, not that I've been doing much trading the past two years. Honestly, I still haven't gotten through everything to see how bad the losses I reported below were. While I know some shows my collection is intact (Looking at you, Jane Eyre The Musical, others that I have a larger collection of?
I haven't had time, patience, or energy to deal with this. Add to the fact that within a month after my last update I experienced the death of someone who I cared for deeply, I ... just haven't wanted to really.
Have I made exceptions? Yes. I think two in the last two years. Maybe three. These last two years have been really rough emotionally.
And then someone comes along who just completely shattered my faith in the trading community I've been a part of (whether active or on the sidelines of) for over 20 years now?
I get most traders these days are younger, teenager or college age. I get that this generation is more used to instant gratification when trading. Back when I started I often had to wait a week or more for the completion of a trade, via snail mail.
And I know writing this, I seem like an old grouch, and I really don't want to be a grouch.
That's my rant though. Five emails in 3 days, demanding an answer.
NO. JUST NO.
If you recognize yourself in this update. I will not be gifting. I will not be trading. I WILL be listing you as a trader to avoid. You know, I never bothered to make a list of traders to avoid since I opened this website back in 2015 (as this is my second website devoted to trading, the original was from my first trading run prior to 2007, and even though it does still exist out there, I can't edit it.)
But I will now.
May 9, 2021
I highly recommend reading my previous update before contacting me ESPECIALLY if you want video!
I'm still cataloguing videos, and my video lists are NOT updated. Unless I specified below that something is intact (Jane Eyre for example), don't assume I still have it even though it's on the list. That's not to say you can't ask. I might be willing to look. But I might also be too busy.
Trading in general: Life. Life has been rough the last year, like it is for all of us. I work in healthcare now. Long shifts. Not always time to trade. If I don't answer please PLEASE don't take it the wrong way. I might just be snowed under and unavailable ... try again in a few weeks?
Anyway, updates. I did make a handful of trades in the past few months, and one large audio one which I'm also cataloguing (slowly) ... but it necessitated a change in the "Other Creatures" section. Anastasia and Aida now have their own pages (although I've ONLY listed the audios on them.) Eventually a few other shows will follow.
I also discovered during that last large audio trade I have some audios that have gone missing. And there's a possibility of more, I'm sure. It's possible some of them just didn't get uploaded and got lost when my old laptop started having hard drive issues, they could have been on an external that went kaput, or they got lost when I was shuffling and reorganizing Mediafire. Either way ... I won't guarantee I still have EVERYTHING audio either any more *sigh*.
Also. I'm finding less and less time for videos - I'm not likely to ask for videos unless it's something I REALLY REALLY want and have wanted for a long time. Audios are quicker and easier to deal with.
July 12, 2020: Some bad news ... PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME FOR A TRADE!
Okay. I was contacted for a small trade which I was going to reply to, but when I looked for the file that the other person wanted, I discovered it was missing.
This led me to go through all my Mega accounts, which is where I was storing all the videos.
It's not a total loss. But I've lost a LOT of videos.
Tanz Der Vampire is nearly completely wiped out (all incarnations), with the exception of a few videos that remain that I either had backed up, or that I'd gotten through gifts where I found the gift links.
Wicked is hit and miss. I seem to have most of the OBC's, and a handful of others that survived. But three out of four of my Wicked Mega's went down. I'm combing through emails to see if any links sent to me are still active so I can try to retrieve some things, but bear it in mind if you're asking for Wicked.
Phantom ... my baby, LOL ... is MOSTLY INTACT, but I lost a handful. Mostly later videos (2015 on) BUT I've not completely cataloged yet and that's gonna take time. My masters, though, I'm fully aware I've always kept a backup, and there's quite a few other videos where I do have them on disk (thank the trading Gods for that!). Buuuutttt ... you know how many POTO vids I have? Yeah. It'll be a while for me to catalogue everything.
Jane Eyre: is COMPLETELY intact, thank GOODNESS, because I had a HELL of a time tracking all those down over the years!
Everything else: Could be hit or miss. Again, I've not completely cataloged all the losses yet.
That all said. I'm more or less NOT going to trade out videos for a while. Reason being is I have to download what's left, and then re-upload to a new server ... which I'm in the process of doing. But this is going to take quite some time on my part. Therefore, I'd rather NOT trade video if I can help it (which stinks because I did just get in some new videos.) And I also need to come up with a storage solution that'll back everything up long term offline. THAT is gonna be costly. My computer's hard drive just isn't big enough.
Anyway. I really haven't updated any of the pages since 2018. I honestly haven't really been TRADING since then, except for one or two that I tracked down for friends, not myself.
Anyway. All my audios are intact (they were never up on Mega, and have always been on a paid account elsewhere) so trading for those is still copacetic.
November 25, 2018: VERY Limited Trading
As my previous updates mention, this time of year is high season for me at work. Also this year has been more difficult than most due to transportation and scheduling issues at work and I've just had little time. I've done a minor handful of trades, and boy do I mean minor.
However, I did stop by today because I will currently accept requests for SMALL trades, or anything where you have one of my wants, obviously. By SMALL I mean 5 audios or less, and I may limit video trading (which I don't do a LOT of anyway unless I can't find audios I want on someone's list.) But bear in mind unless you catch me on the weekend my response is going to be SLOW. And may still be slow.
In the meantime, I did a quick update based on what my docs told me was my last updates that likely haven't gone live. Updated the Misc. Audios and Phantom 2010's ... and I've got a severe backlog again that there's just no time to get to. Ah well, welcome to my life!
Hopefully regular trading to recommence sometime around March or so. Hopefully. Cause I kinda miss it.
April 10, 2018: Some minor updates, and a return to Limited Trading.
So I finally have a computer once more, but we're still sorta in high season at work for a few more weeks. However, that said, I'm re-opening, but I'm going to limit trading for a little longer. Due to the limitations of my computer, I can't download everything and double check that I still do HAVE everything. However, if anything IS indeed lost, the loss will be minimal. Just throwing that out there if you contact and I do trade.
Please understand that replies might be slow. There are several days a week currently where I'm not home AT ALL due to work schedule.
So updates: Update the Phantom audios and videos, Jane Eyre audios, Wicked audio, Other audio, and Tanz audios. Nothing major though, just a handful of additions.
October 16, 2017: Temporarily Closed to Trades.
First and apology if there are any typos as I am attempting, for the first time, to update via a mobile device.
I've put off this update for quite a while though I knew it was likely to happen. I'm temporarily without a computer. By temporary ... I don't foresee myself being able to replace my computer until sometime early next year. It's just not in the cards financially at the moment. I'm still grieving the loss of my old, trusted computer at the moment.
As far as my collection goes, I'm pretty sure everything was saved before the crash, but I'll still need some reorganization time once I do get a new computer before coming back to trading. Sadly though, without one there's little point - trying to trade and keep everything together on a mobile is nearly impossible.
At any rate, we're about to head into high season at my work so real life is gonna get ... Well, REAL. And at about this point last year I needed a break for that reason, its just happened earlier this year.
As you'll notice, I managed to change the ticker at the top of the page. Once I'm back online fully and ready to go, I'll change it back.
May 28, 2017: Phantom Update:
Just like it says, I just went through and updated all the Phantom pages. There might be an edit on this update later this evening if I can finish what I was working on to update the Tanz pages because they're planned for next! And more slugging through the backlog for me!
Also I don't know if I mentioned it during my last update but I'm splitting the Concert audios from the Solo albums, because I've got quite a few that will be listed in the next few weeks ... once I review that is!
*Returned several hours later to update the Tanz, Other Audios, and Concert pages!
May 10, 2017: Massive Sitewide Update, and Status Change!
It's been quite a while since I've updated this many pages, but I've been doing some reviewing off and on while I haven't been trading much, so there's been quite a bit of update waiting to go live.
Also, ready to re-open to general trades again.
February 19, 2017: Quick Update
Updated the Wicked Audios. I know my last update said I'd likely be returning to full trading status in January, and here it is February. I need a little longer (it's a real-life work situation cutting into my free time). I'm now shooting for by the end of March before returning to full speed, but until then, I'm going to try to be open for small trades, mostly for wants list items only though for the time being.
October 30, 2016: Trading Status Change
No real update to the site though I do have a few pages I could update. I'm changing my trading status to Limited until (most likely) January 2017. This is due to the fact that we are currently in high season at work, and with the kind of schedules I've had the last few weeks I haven't even had a moment to look at any of the trade requests that have been sent my way.
If you have sent me a trade request in the last few weeks and did not receive a reply, please try me again when I update that my status is back to normal. I've added an indicator in the upper right hand corner of the site. I do apologise for not replying ... there are even some I'd intended to but just got swamped.
Before I leave, I'll update the wants list really quick to reflect the things that WILL get my attention.
September 19, 2016: It hasn't been as long as it's seemed ...
In the last two months there's been minor updates, but nothing I've shouted from. Massive update to the Wicked Audios this time around (I've added over 20, and have quite a few more in the backlog). Also some new Tanz audios, a few random videos, and a few random audios.
July 19, 2016: Something old, something new ...
Updates made to Tanz Der Vampire, Phantom Videos, Wicked, and Other Audios ... I'm still working on catching up on a boatload of backlog on the Video end of things so with any luck there'll be another video update in a week or so. If I can keep pace.
July 10, 2016: Site wide update!
It's been a while since I've done such a massive update, but it's been needed. Also started catching up on updating my videos, which have been massively out of date for a while now.
June 10, 2016: Love Never Dies ... Because Vampires Dance
I never ever EVER thought I'd create a page for Love Never Dies! But, I got hooked on one song from it and ... well, me being me, I had to hear different renditions of that song, and the best way to do so was to collect any audio I could. So ... it now has it's own page, but it's nestled under Phantom Of The Opera. I'm also about to create a "Phantom Related" page to hold the "semi-Phantom" recordings (Like the Australian skits, etc.)
Also, Tanz Der Vampire and it's various incarnations are about to get their own page as well ...
For what it's worth, there have been mini updates since April, but nothing Weebly's been being hit or miss so I haven't posted abut them. Ah such is life!
I suppose I'll also update some other pages ... you know I can't go a round without getting new Phantom audios!
April 25, 2016: MASSIVE SITE WIDE UPDATE!
Probably the most widespread update I've ever done here. Seriously, with the exception of Les Mis and the Solo CD's I updated EVERY. SINGLE. LIST. PAGE. Some of them were seriously out of date (Like Wicked and Phantom videos) and on top of it I cleared a very good chunk out of the backlog on almost everything.
Now if I could just get back to the audio and video editing projects awaiting me ...
April 12, 2016: Not Much ...
Updated my wants page to add some specifics (and make it easier on anyone who actually HAS any of my wants.) Updated a handful of descriptions in various places. Other than that ...
April 1, 2016: Retirement. Yup. I'm done ...
APRIL FOOLS!
Seriously though, mostly just a lot of Phantom added. Including a few Masters no longer on the NFT list.
February 2, 2016: A very WICKED update.
Brought two new pages online, WICKED and JANE EYRE. Also a whole lot of Wicked audios added.
January 26, 2016: And ... I'm BACK! A very Phantom New Year!
Given the fact that I only got a very small handful of emails expressing trading interest since October, either everyone else was as swamped as I was around the holidays, or I don't get that much traffic. Not complaining though.
I'm going to be splitting the Phantom Audios further ... you'll note the new millennium audios are now on two pages instead of one. This has a lot to do with making my page editing easier (after crashing Weebly about ten times trying to update the 2010's and having to find my place every. stinking. time. Anything to ease things. At any rate, not a huge update, the only new things added are in the POTO Audios from the 2010's. Honestly I'm hoping to finally clear my backlog of tracked POTO audios this week but ... you know what they say about good intentions!
October 31, 2015: Audios and Videos and ... oh MY!
Many many new items added to the Phantom Audios and Videos ... and ... one more MASTER no longer NFT!
Also, finally got around to updating the Other Creatures ...
October 5, 2015: A new project ...
You'll notice with this update quite a few audios are appearing with the description opening "TRACKED". I realized going through the backlog about two weeks ago that I had at least 20 audios in it that were untracked, that I'd kept skipping over doing a review on for that reason. So ... a tracking project is afoot!
Also updated the Phantom audios of course ...
September 28, 2015: Phantom Phever!
I haven't finished with the backlog yet but I did update the Phantom Audios pages to reflect a LOT of audios that I have made my way through. Have a look see!
September 26, 2015: Another "quickie"
There will be a MASSIVE Phantom update coming within the next two weeks - I'm halfway through a massive undertaking as far as the backlog is concerned. In the meantime, I FINALLY found some Jane Eyre audios - it's like once I found the first few they're starting to come out of the woodwork. WEEE! But that doesn't mean I'm no longer looking for Jane Eyre audios ... I know there's MORE out there and I want them lol.
September 13, 2015: Just a quick update.
And I do mean quick. Mostly just updated the POTO audios to include some backlog additions, and some minor cast/date/location info I've received.
September 7, 2015: More backlog
So, I know I said in my last update I'd be laying off the backlog to work on transferring some of my masters, but things have been a bit crazy this month. Due to circumstances with my computer area being what it is, I'm temporarily putting off that transferring project I was working on. This has a lot to do with wanting proper quality, and due to not having a real computer space the cords I was using in the transferring were getting tangled and coming loose and I was getting ... well ... crap quality.They WILL still be coming. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my babies lol! I did manage to get one from Tampa done though ...
At any rate, I'm back to working on the backlog for the time being. I've been working on my Les Mis backlog, and have brought online a new page of Les Mis audios. Also going on, a LOT of uploading. Oh, and some minor changes to the "Solo CD" page.
August 3, 2015: Coming Soon!
No, I'm not making a Coming Soon Page ... not even going to think it. But ...
Within the next few weeks some of my NFT audio masters (from Tampa and Ft. Myers specifically) will be trade-able again! I'm seriously stoked. It's going to take some work, and it means I'm not touching my backlog for a while. But it'll be worth it. Keep your eyes on the Masters page for more details as I re-release them!
July 30, 2015 ... OFFICIAL RECORDINGS!
Yep, you heard that right. I just brought two new pages online under the "Other Creatures" button: Cast Recordings/Demos, and Solo CD's / Concerts! While at least one of the concerts I have listed is not an "official" recording, it's soundboard quality so I feel it belongs. Oh, and all are available for quick trades.
Also, the revamping of the "Notes" area is up to date, including a "Wants" page! I did decide to just keep the original Notes/FAQ page, and simply added the other two under that tab.
Another change: in the interest of streamlining my menu bar, I moved the Phantom Of The Opera videos under the tab that used to only house the Audios. Now it's one POTO tab for all your Phantom needs.
July 2015 ... Backlog, oh yeah!
Updated the Phantom Audios (1990's and 2000's) to include things I just reviewed from my backlog. I still have quite a few to get through the review process. If it weren't such a pain to do so I'd have a coming soon or just in page, but I remember all too well how hard it was to keep up back then, let alone now when the turnaround is nearly instant.
Oh, and adding a wants page. Revamping the "Notes" section to multiple pages to make it easier on me - it'll be the Wants, FAQ, Rules, and Notes hopefully. *IF* I don't get to that tonight (7-28) I hope to have that section up to date by week's end.
June, 2015 ... Back to trading.
My old site, though still 'there', has long been inaccurate. In the last seven years I have moved multiple times. And during one of those moves, I lost about 95% or more of my recordings, both video and audio. So I've been basically working behind the scenes the last few months getting things from scratch. I've left the old site up, as it says on the homepage, as a reference. Partly because there are some things I have not been able to track down again, though I once held them in my hands.
This list, this webpage, is the result.
*TRADING STATUS: EXTREMELY LIMITED.
*GIFTING STATUS: CURRENTLY NOT GIFTING.
*STATE OF THE LIST: INCOMPLETE, POSSIBLY MISSING MANY AUDIOS AND VIDEOS.
*NO PAGE UPDATES UNTIL I KNOW WHAT IS STILL AVAILABLE. BUT THAT WILL BE A LONG TIME IN COMING. READ BELOW.
About my trade status: In the last three days I've received five emails from the same person, the first of which practically demanded a gift in a time frame, the second which changed to trade without sending me a list to select from or any information concerning the state of their available items, the third which was back to gifting, the fourth which asked if I was busy this week, and the fifth which beleaguered me AGAIN for a reply.

No real update to the site though I do have a few pages I could update. I'm changing my trading status to Limited until (most likely) January 2017. This is due to the fact that we are currently in high season at work, and with the kind of schedules I've had the last few weeks I haven't even had a moment to look at any of the trade requests that have been sent my way.
If you have sent me a trade request in the last few weeks and did not receive a reply, please try me again when I update that my status is back to normal. I've added an indicator in the upper right hand corner of the site. I do apologise for not replying ... there are even some I'd intended to but just got swamped.
Before I leave, I'll update the wants list really quick to reflect the things that WILL get my attention.
September 19, 2016: It hasn't been as long as it's seemed ...
In the last two months there's been minor updates, but nothing I've shouted from. Massive update to the Wicked Audios this time around (I've added over 20, and have quite a few more in the backlog). Also some new Tanz audios, a few random videos, and a few random audios.
July 19, 2016: Something old, something new ...
Updates made to Tanz Der Vampire, Phantom Videos, Wicked, and Other Audios ... I'm still working on catching up on a boatload of backlog on the Video end of things so with any luck there'll be another video update in a week or so. If I can keep pace.
July 10, 2016: Site wide update!
It's been a while since I've done such a massive update, but it's been needed. Also started catching up on updating my videos, which have been massively out of date for a while now.
June 10, 2016: Love Never Dies ... Because Vampires Dance
I never ever EVER thought I'd create a page for Love Never Dies! But, I got hooked on one song from it and ... well, me being me, I had to hear different renditions of that song, and the best way to do so was to collect any audio I could. So ... it now has it's own page, but it's nestled under Phantom Of The Opera. I'm also about to create a "Phantom Related" page to hold the "semi-Phantom" recordings (Like the Australian skits, etc.)
Also, Tanz Der Vampire and it's various incarnations are about to get their own page as well ...
For what it's worth, there have been mini updates since April, but nothing Weebly's been being hit or miss so I haven't posted abut them. Ah such is life!
I suppose I'll also update some other pages ... you know I can't go a round without getting new Phantom audios!
April 25, 2016: MASSIVE SITE WIDE UPDATE!
Probably the most widespread update I've ever done here. Seriously, with the exception of Les Mis and the Solo CD's I updated EVERY. SINGLE. LIST. PAGE. Some of them were seriously out of date (Like Wicked and Phantom videos) and on top of it I cleared a very good chunk out of the backlog on almost everything.
Now if I could just get back to the audio and video editing projects awaiting me ...
April 12, 2016: Not Much ...
Updated my wants page to add some specifics (and make it easier on anyone who actually HAS any of my wants.) Updated a handful of descriptions in various places. Other than that ...
April 1, 2016: Retirement. Yup. I'm done ...
APRIL FOOLS!
Seriously though, mostly just a lot of Phantom added. Including a few Masters no longer on the NFT list.
February 2, 2016: A very WICKED update.
Brought two new pages online, WICKED and JANE EYRE. Also a whole lot of Wicked audios added.
January 26, 2016: And ... I'm BACK! A very Phantom New Year!
Given the fact that I only got a very small handful of emails expressing trading interest since October, either everyone else was as swamped as I was around the holidays, or I don't get that much traffic. Not complaining though.
I'm going to be splitting the Phantom Audios further ... you'll note the new millennium audios are now on two pages instead of one. This has a lot to do with making my page editing easier (after crashing Weebly about ten times trying to update the 2010's and having to find my place every. stinking. time. Anything to ease things. At any rate, not a huge update, the only new things added are in the POTO Audios from the 2010's. Honestly I'm hoping to finally clear my backlog of tracked POTO audios this week but ... you know what they say about good intentions!
October 31, 2015: Audios and Videos and ... oh MY!
Many many new items added to the Phantom Audios and Videos ... and ... one more MASTER no longer NFT!
Also, finally got around to updating the Other Creatures ...
October 5, 2015: A new project ...
You'll notice with this update quite a few audios are appearing with the description opening "TRACKED". I realized going through the backlog about two weeks ago that I had at least 20 audios in it that were untracked, that I'd kept skipping over doing a review on for that reason. So ... a tracking project is afoot!
Also updated the Phantom audios of course ...
September 28, 2015: Phantom Phever!
I haven't finished with the backlog yet but I did update the Phantom Audios pages to reflect a LOT of audios that I have made my way through. Have a look see!
September 26, 2015: Another "quickie"
There will be a MASSIVE Phantom update coming within the next two weeks - I'm halfway through a massive undertaking as far as the backlog is concerned. In the meantime, I FINALLY found some Jane Eyre audios - it's like once I found the first few they're starting to come out of the woodwork. WEEE! But that doesn't mean I'm no longer looking for Jane Eyre audios ... I know there's MORE out there and I want them lol.
September 13, 2015: Just a quick update.
And I do mean quick. Mostly just updated the POTO audios to include some backlog additions, and some minor cast/date/location info I've received.
September 7, 2015: More backlog
So, I know I said in my last update I'd be laying off the backlog to work on transferring some of my masters, but things have been a bit crazy this month. Due to circumstances with my computer area being what it is, I'm temporarily putting off that transferring project I was working on. This has a lot to do with wanting proper quality, and due to not having a real computer space the cords I was using in the transferring were getting tangled and coming loose and I was getting ... well ... crap quality.They WILL still be coming. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my babies lol! I did manage to get one from Tampa done though ...
At any rate, I'm back to working on the backlog for the time being. I've been working on my Les Mis backlog, and have brought online a new page of Les Mis audios. Also going on, a LOT of uploading. Oh, and some minor changes to the "Solo CD" page.
August 3, 2015: Coming Soon!
No, I'm not making a Coming Soon Page ... not even going to think it. But ...
Within the next few weeks some of my NFT audio masters (from Tampa and Ft. Myers specifically) will be trade-able again! I'm seriously stoked. It's going to take some work, and it means I'm not touching my backlog for a while. But it'll be worth it. Keep your eyes on the Masters page for more details as I re-release them!
July 30, 2015 ... OFFICIAL RECORDINGS!
Yep, you heard that right. I just brought two new pages online under the "Other Creatures" button: Cast Recordings/Demos, and Solo CD's / Concerts! While at least one of the concerts I have listed is not an "official" recording, it's soundboard quality so I feel it belongs. Oh, and all are available for quick trades.
Also, the revamping of the "Notes" area is up to date, including a "Wants" page! I did decide to just keep the original Notes/FAQ page, and simply added the other two under that tab.
Another change: in the interest of streamlining my menu bar, I moved the Phantom Of The Opera videos under the tab that used to only house the Audios. Now it's one POTO tab for all your Phantom needs.
July 2015 ... Backlog, oh yeah!
Updated the Phantom Audios (1990's and 2000's) to include things I just reviewed from my backlog. I still have quite a few to get through the review process. If it weren't such a pain to do so I'd have a coming soon or just in page, but I remember all too well how hard it was to keep up back then, let alone now when the turnaround is nearly instant.
Oh, and adding a wants page. Revamping the "Notes" section to multiple pages to make it easier on me - it'll be the Wants, FAQ, Rules, and Notes hopefully. *IF* I don't get to that tonight (7-28) I hope to have that section up to date by week's end.
June, 2015 ... Back to trading.
My old site, though still 'there', has long been inaccurate. In the last seven years I have moved multiple times. And during one of those moves, I lost about 95% or more of my recordings, both video and audio. So I've been basically working behind the scenes the last few months getting things from scratch. I've left the old site up, as it says on the homepage, as a reference. Partly because there are some things I have not been able to track down again, though I once held them in my hands.
This list, this webpage, is the result.
