I will say that there have been a couple of times where I have let something slip in reference to an unreleased/uncirculated track on this very board, and it's not a pleasant experience to get a phone call or email about it...

I was once the recipient of a screamingly irate phone call concerning the leaking of an uncirculated track, and it took me a good ten minutes to convince Joe Doakes (not the real name) that I had most certainly not copied it against instructions on the excellent grounds that I didn't have the bloody thing.  Smiley

Same here...  In the aftermath of the "Get the Boot" leak I got one of those calls, and I was able to defend myself with a clear conscience because there were things on that collection that I had never heard, much less possessed.

I once mentioned something I had received from a source 2 to a different source 1 and it turned out it was something source 1 had shared with source 2 with the understanding that it not be shared with anyone else. Very awkward. Neither are on this board any longer.

I received (via email) a question from someone as to why I participated in the "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" thread and described my experiences hearing that track four years before its release, but didn't participate in this thread.  In my mind, the difference is that Rick Henn gave me full permission to write about "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" in ESQ in 1994, and I tried to describe it in as much painstaking detail as I could after only hearing it twice (I did ask Rick to play it two times in a row!) and considering I didn't have access to a pen and paper to write down notes until several hours later.

In the scenario described in this thread I would be discussing material (or even the experience hearing material) that I was told not to talk about, and as others have described, the result of not honoring that commitment would be a "burnt bridge."

One thing I will add is that sometimes the agenda is exactly the opposite -- the producer/artist/possessor WANTS the public to know about the track/tracks, in order to create demand for their release -- which would in turn benefit them financially and/or reputationally.  Witness Andy Paley playing the tapes of his sessions with Brian to quite a number of folks -- present company included.  That is one set of tapes that, with the exception of 2 or 3 tracks (like "Soul Searchin'" and the original "Gettin' In Over My Head") I will admit I overhyped in ESQ, and now listen to and in general say "meh."

I once gave a demo CD of my own songs to one of Brian's people.  Thankfully it hasn't 'leaked' yet! Wink.
