Question
Hey GMan,
Someone keeps putting up DogGone Blues and Smoke Two Joints Fox Theater show on ebay.  The cover is not what i've seen for DogGone Blues before.  I take it these are not OG Boots? any clarification would be awesome

Answer
Hey George,

Those are both "bootlegs" as you know,..... but those are COPIES of the "OG" bootlegs; which are essentially just CDrs in the first place.

Don't buy them.

They are essentially CDrs with some guy making artwork on his computer. The "real" "Smoke Two Joints" has professional looking CDs and artwork & "Dog Gone Blues" has ALWAYS been just a CDr with Lou Dog on the cover at the mixing board in Texas for the "S/T" sessions.

Also, don't EVER buy "Dog Gone Blues"... That is a boot of a boot of an "OG" which is "Sensemilla" with a few extra tracks added on.

It is sometimes called "Bong Hits With Bradley" & it is sometimes called "Hong Kong Phooey"; both of which are exactly the same thing with some different tracks at the end.

When the "Sense" OG came out, people got all slap happy and started making copies of it and selling it to make a quick buck.

Don't waste your time (or money) on ANY of these.

Just go for an "Original"... and get a "Sensemilla" when you can.

As for the "Smoke Two Joints", it has been a CDr all along with some guy who did the soundboard at the show making it, so I would just get some high quality files and make your own "Original" version of "STJ" with your own artwork.

I can hook this up if you need.

I hope this helps.

Expertise

I can answer any/all questions in regard to "sublime". I was down with the band and Skunk Records since 1991; the year they released their second cassette, "Jah Won't Pay the Bills" until the end in 1996. I have answers to all of your questions about their music, their releases, their unreleased music, their promos, merchandise, and the like. You ask it, I'll answer it.

Experience

I have extensive knowledge of "sublime" from their origin(s)through the end of their career. I have been involved with "sublime" from the early years when Kelly Vargas was on Drums, I know everything that there is to know about their early career, their rise to fame in the early 90's, & on through until May 96' when Brad passed away. I specialize in the band's merchandise. I have been collecting everything that is "sublime" since the beginning and have extensive knowledge on the subject. They released an unparalleled amount of DYI promotional merchandise before being signed to MCA & I would be glad to help you find out what piece of their BIG puzzle you are holding on to and/or what you'd like to get your hand on!

Publications
I am a regular on all of the sublime chat boards and was a constant on the now defunct sublime board, "The Curb" where many people considered me the "go to guy" for information on "sublime" and the rarities that they left behind for us all.
