Summary: I'm leaving the country and getting rid of tapes.
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 19:35:33 GMT

I'm leaving North America for a year and I'm flushing some tapes from my
collection.  I'm asking $2.50 replacement cost plus your choice of
postage.  Note that I'm not offering to make dubs.  These are my master
tapes that I'm selling for the cost of the blank tape, so no flames
about copyright, please.

I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WANT THEM BY 2:30 PM EST MONDAY DEC. 21ST.
(That's when the movers come.)  I don't need payment by then, I just
need to know if I should save the tapes for you or recycle them.  Sorry
for the short notice, but it's been a bit hectic.


                      British Comedy and Related

    2. "Good Morning America," 5/15/90(?) w/ Rowan Atkinson, in SP (in
good shape, but he doesn't show up until 3/4s of the way through and
then only for 5 mins.)
    3. "John Cleese's First Farewell Performance," in EP, made around
the time of the making of "A Fish Called Wanda."  Taped off The Learning
Channel, but undoubtedly appeared elsewhere first.

outrageous, over-the-hill movie star living beyond her means in London.
Not bad, not outstanding.  6 eps., (first half of ep. 5 missing) in EP.
