Does anyone know if Dr. D is still selling his Basement Tapes CDs? I am missing #14 and #17 and I would hate to have to resort to eBay (I'd rather Barry got the money for himself).

You can still get them, just send an email. I skipped about a dozen years and was able to catch up. They are 10 bucks each

Yes, New shows are still being uploaded to drdemento.com every Friday @ midnight. Two archive shows from the past are also being added to the online archive every Sunday night You can request specific shows to be added to their archive. Just send them an email. Most of the shows with Al rarities have already been uploaded and can be streamed for $2 for low-fi quality or $4 for higher quality.

The Basement Tapes CD's series appears to be finished. The last one that was released was Volume 17. There hasn't been Any indication of the shows stopping or slowing down. I would think it will continue as long as Dr D enjoys making them, and there's an audience for it.

Thanks minnick. Just ordered them, so I should see them in about 3 months. ;)

I asked Dr. D if they had any plans to continue the series and he said they had to decide because CDs are not quite the draw they used to be.

He should continue the Basement Tapes series as digital downloads. No overhead costs... just money that comes in as people buy them.

Listening now. Might as well give the De-Mentor a couple bucks.

Cool! Can this be downloaded and listened to later as a podcast? If so I'll definitely throw the Good Doctor a few bones.

Shows can only be streamed. I had a few technical issues, but was able to get through the third time. It would just cut off on me and go to the next file, which skipped back a minute in the interview. One time it totally went off, and I had to go through authentication again. Pretty annoying, but nice to hear Al with the De-Mentor again.
