Sinister: What was that debut lp called again?

[Joss & Leagues]

This Tigermilk debate seems to have escalated rather horrifically.
A couple of points I'd like to add:
The arguments (from digest 3/5/98) all seem to have been directed rather
personally at David and Katrina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Katrina
merely an employee of Jeepster? I would doubt that either she or David are
directly or solely responsible for the labels position on the bootlegging
matter. Personally, I would have preferred a form letter to Sinister list
types to say 'we're overlooking taping of Tigermilk, but we'd rather you
didn't burn it onto cd or, more specifically, offer cd copies to others.'
(Where does everybody else think they should draw the line?) The thing is,
there seems to be increasing bootlegging of Tigermilk from all quarters, so
Jeepster clearly reckon the only way to try to control it is with the 'ton
of bricks' approach. Possibly since they're so sick to death of the whole
issue anyway.
Since it rears its head so often, I would also assume that Jeepster have
contacted the band about this, so their opinion would concur somewhat with
what the owners of the music feel. Whatever, the whole episode seems to
have taken an unpleasant turn with bad feelings on several fronts.
It's only a bloody record after all.
