  • Answer:

    responses in no particular order 1. no-one is going to care (I doubt the record companies are scouring eBay for illegal recordings) 2.

If you can find anyone on the planet who will pay for someone's home recordings from the 80's, then go ahead..knock yourself out... 4. You are kidding, right? 5. I would guess it would be pretty hard to sell ORIGINAL tapes let alone knock-offs..
