Are these demo tapes that Vinnie gave someone since they have his handwriting on them ?

Wow. I wonder what the streetbeat tunes are?

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:38 am

Wow indeed, we need to get these! I bought a nice Pioneer tape deck the other month. Wanted access to my bootleg cassettes and a way to digitize them.

These tapes were previously owned by George Sewitt and sold in a package deal to the one who is now auctioning off the tapes.

Sounds like much of this stuff we may have heard. Tape 4 I'm wondering if those are in reality Dana Demo's rather than Vinnie Demo's? If they are Vinnie Demo's then we have probably never heard any of those songs.

Thanks shaft. Yeah now I look at them we have heard it all. I thought it maybe sewitt because of the ace stuff.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 3:53 pm

Vinnie had a British manager who managed him after sewitt, he passed away and I have been tracking down his family to see what stories and tapes they may have.

Don't have time now but maybe next week

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:33 pm

Wow, the price is going through the roof already!! $200 for old cassettes? Crazy! LOL.

Too bad they are not the actual masters.

I hope whoever gets them shares them with other fans.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:19 pm

It's going to give vv pricing ideas unfortunately.

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 2:25 pm

$305

I'd bid...but I don't even own a cassette player anymore!!! (Plus 5 out of those tapes are easily obtained stuff...or stuff I don't need alt versions of.

I would dig hearing the ALL SYSTEMS GO unmixed with longer solos to see if it's any different than versions I've heard...

Post by **Genebaby** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 2:42 pm

Crazy high $$$ for Vinnie stuff.

It's like "Vinnie who" when you tell someone how much you paid.

I'm just jealous. You would want to know more about what you're getting though. What the versions are and a same of the quality.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:10 pm

It's for those die hard kiss collectors. I am sure we have heard all that. If it were the gfh tapes or his country tapes then I could see $400 as long as its unheard stuff.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:13 pm

I have a nakamichi dragon tape deck which I.assure makes cassette sound so much better than a high end cd . The problem with cassettes wasn't the cassettes it was the players. Only pro cassette decks or the nakamichi sounded any good.

Well, then you need to bid on these, digitize them and post them on here for the group.

I'd pitch in to the fund if everyone else would!!

i wont spend one penny on anything with the name vinnie vincent on it. I have spent and lost enough, even if its not going to vinnie.

Absolutely, I have a Nak (not a Dragon tho') it's the only way to go soundwise, but it won't make a bad mix better, usually makes it worse.

Do we know if it's VV driving up the price of these tapes?

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 8:37 am

Ha ha, he could be! Or trying to buy them back.

I hope he got his allowance saved up.

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 12:50 pm

He'll just buy them then declare bankruptcy.

I guess there is a market for VV stuff.

syncophile42 · Post by **syncophile42** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 7:11 am

Currently on 989 USD, first bid from a first-time ebayer - interesting...

syncophile42 · Post by **syncophile42** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 7:20 am

...madness.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:30 am

That means someone pre-bid under that.

Crazy indeed. $$$ have yet to change hands.

Far out brussel sprout!

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 9:35 am

If Vinnie drives the price up to make it look impressive he will have to pay up or these will be back up due to non payment and it will look bad.

Could you imagine Vinnie buying his own tapes back?

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:25 pm

If its s first time bid it could be fake from the seller. Sometimes they do it for insurance.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:28 pm

I take it back. Legit. I know the guy selling. He runs kissasylum.com and is friends with all current kiss members.

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:35 pm

Jeez!!! Ask him about the "Strum" tape then!!!

I beat you out with my bid of $6.12!

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:00 am

Who the hell is bidding on those? Surely anyone who is willing to pay that for tapes would know this forum.

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:51 am

That's what I was wondering. Who is bidding these up so high?

VVV · Post by **VVV** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:12 am

Any guesses as to the ending price? I say...

$1600

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:16 pm

Finished around $1100, depending on your exchange rate.

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:16 pm

Anybody we know that won?

VVV · Post by **VVV** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:23 pm

A celebrity perhaps?

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:50 pm

One can hope that the material will be made available and not hoarded...like the olden days of KISS bootleg collecting.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:10 pm

I think it is available.

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:59 pm

Not the version of ALL SYSTEMS GO with extended solos. I reach that conclusion just because I have never seen or heard it. Is it available?

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:36 pm

There is the "unmixed" version of ASG, not sure if that tape is pretty much that.

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:56 am

I know a couple of the "unmixed" ASG songs have slightly longer solos, but nothing to write home about. (I actually think the truncated length of the songs and parts that were cut out were good choices.) So IF that cassette is the same as what you can find online then it's not a big deal. BUT, if by chance, that tape does include more over-the-top guitars and soloing more akin to the self titled album then THAT'S something I would like to hear.

Post by **Genebaby** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:24 am

Hopefully we'll find out.
