Hello SRV fans,

	I just had to write and tell you about my newest addition
to my SRV disk collection.  Its title is _STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, MEGA 
TRAX V. I_  on LOBSTER RECORDS label, it is a 3 disk collection of 
live recordings from '83 to '90 with just under 4 hours with 42 
songs (some repeats).  The recording quality is as good or better 
than the LIVE, ALIVE album.  I assume it is black market since I have 
never seen or heard of it anywhere.  The cover and insert are very 
simple with a silouet of SRV and a list of songs for each CD and where 
they were recorded.

I had never heard his version of HUG YOU, SQUEEZE YOU and 3rd STONE FROM
THE SUN, they were both great.  SRV gives a very emotional version of
LIFE WITHOUT YOU with a spoken message in the middle of the song asking
every one to love one another and be good to yourself (I assume this was 
after his rehabilitation).  The Timothy White's session is a portion of 
an interview where he talks about blues and gives a few unacompanied and
undistorted version of the songs shown above.  The JEFF'S BOOGIE is 
apparently part of a discussion of how Jeff Beck and Chuch Berry would
have played a certain solo.
     I'm not a religious person, but if there's anything that would
convince me that there realy is a God, it would be the God given talent
that SRV posessed.
     Well I had to tell somebody about it, it's got me pretty excited.
Has anybody else out there run across this collection or any other 
unofficial SRV releases, I'd like to hear about it.
