Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems (DESS)

A collection of CDR's of official releases, so they must be considered as pirate discs rather than bootlegs, but many collectors consider these to be the core collection for these titles, the majority of which have not been officially released on CD's.

The artwork has been faithfully recreated and these very collectable CDR's are a must have for all collectors . Whilst copies of these titles are heavily traded I have managed to collate details of sufficient discs to create an up close guide . upclose

A Major upgrade took place from Dec 2007 introducing colour thermally printed discs, but there are many fakes some better than others, so let buyers be very aware.

After the release of the remastered series by Apple in 2009 the good Doctor closed shop. However in June 2010 he started a private members club to release to a selected group of fans an Archive Series of quality titles.
