Best thing to do - don't anybody bid for it.

Having said that, he's not claiming any credit for producing it and doesn't say anwhere that it is an official item. The seller has also gone to the trouble of copying all 492 pages and binding them in to two volumes, so it probably is pretty rare!

Everyone kicks up a fuss about things like this but somebody nearly always buys them - the power of supply and demand I guess.

Because I care. I email the seller, ebay and steffen.

Jesus. It's not about not caring - there is so much rubbish (ie dodgy - not saying that the wonderful discography is rbbish!) on Ebay that we'd be emailing people all day if we didn't have better things to do. Like I said - just boycott buying it - people only put it up for sale coz people buy it!

Actually Lazlo Nibble started it back in the early days of the Internet. But of course this is primarily Steffen's work.

I wonder if this scumbag is another David Allen alias?

BTW Steffen, I think the list of unreleased songs should contain some of the early ones as mentioned in Literally:

'It's not a crime'
'Unknown song with the words "Life's hard, it's all you've got..."'.

Also perhaps mention Neil's early songs: Taxi Driver, She's so eclectic and The 'Man on the Television'.

David really is a red rag to you, isn't he? :D
Lazlo is the only reason, why I would try to close this auction! Speaking for me, I think I don't have to talk to anybody about copyright protection... :roll:

I don't know about that - I can't recall you charging money for somebody else's work?

As for David Allen - I just still find it odd that somebody who has cheated so many fans is still greeted as a member in this place, so I take any chance I've got to warn people about him - I've had many people thank me for telling about it, so I just keep going.

Pertan: So it wasn't really Lazlo that created the discography? Why is he credited with that then?

Let's hope if this book is "officially" published that I will prove that I have plenty of material that isn't listed just to prove he isn't mr know-it-all :lol: :twisted:
