Dixie is Scott...should have twigged earlier. Why did he stop posting under his own name?

Well that's not good.

Oh are we posting under false names now? A lot of new peeps have come to the forum recently and having been here in some form or another since almost the beginning it's sad to see our once close knitted gang of Pulp lovers go astray a little. However, it's probably in the spirit of the forum to turn the other cheek and get on with being the most intelligent and worthy place for information and discussion about the band we love love without this kind of palarvour. I'm sorry for your loss.

I have very little to share as, on the rare occasions I get hold of something, I immediately share it with this board, because I love you and respect you all and wish you all to indulge in anything 'Pulpy' with me.

I have had EXACTLY the same situation with the same guy Scott Frazer. He contacted me on this forum to do a trade (after I had uploaded the mp3 of I killed the crabs...), we agreed, i send him 3 dvdr's and got nothing in return, no emails either. this took place in 2011 by the way. I didn't want to name and shame him on this forum, now I'm sorry I haven't cause he did it again. very frustrating, not even the part of not getting anything, but trusting someone and not hearing any-thing (and I tried getting some kind of reaction: loosely, irritated, funny cool, angry, disappointed, I mailed them all).

this was the last time I tried getting him to respond, I sent him this pm:


I still can't (under)stand that you tricked me into sending you 3 dvd's with rare stuff and you're not sending me anything back. so this is the way you get treated when you trust people because they're on a board of one of your favorite bands. you must have had a good laugh. yeah funny

Scott posted on this board for the last time july 2011. I also googled him. I'm almost a stalker... :)

absolutely, there are heroes here!

Maybe he forgot to put stamps on the letters. It could happen

three times? and emails don't need stamps...

Ouch!

But like Eamonn and some others have said, there really can't be much of a need to pay money for/swap stuff with each other. Anything that can be made available is/has generally been made available. If there's something you're particularly after, it's probably far easier to just stick it in a thread rather than going through, erm, other methods to get them...

Ah, fair enough. I suppose in that sense then I have shared some of the already available Portfolios by burning them myself and sending them to contributors who - like yourself - don't have access to computers.

I'd do the same for you too :)

I was being sarcastic  the guy is a complete scammer

It's terribly sad to read this. Everyone has been so kind in sharing their wares - via the account, and file-sharing before all that ended, and ongoing projects like Stephen's portfolio - it seems so mean spirited just to take advantage like this. Fcuking hell, what's a community for? Personally, I have received far more than I have been able to give via this site, but have always at least tried to make my thanks clear when partaking thereof. And some of the very, very best Pulp I've heard has come from such encounters.

Talk about looking a gift-horse in the mouth... Why then punch it in the mouth, pump it full of bute and mince it into dinner?

Thank you Stephen, i'm in the right place. I joined a Morrissey forum in a fit of stupidy but quickly realised i had no knowledge of the subject or any real fondness for his music or him.  In any case, pulp people are beautiful and i missed being home. Thank you.

Interestingly, the chap in question last logged in two days ago, so has presumably seen your post.

And further interestingly, Fred The 3rd has deleted his account!

To (somewhat) offer a counter to potential (though entirely understandable, all being what it is) negative vibes here, I've done one "trade", and my trade went amazingly. The chap in question even posted the stuff the night we discussed it on MSN, before I had even sent anything to him. I received it the next day and crapped myself thinking "Oh God, I haven't even sent anything! He'll think I'm a scammer!"

To be clear, I had nothing to trade myself, so I offered cash. The person I traded with had received it in confidence I guess, and in chatting I had to make him an offer he couldn't refuse!

I've long since really, really wanted to share the tracks, but that would be betraying the confidence of the thoroughly good chap I got them from. It really kinda tore me apart at times, but they were ultimately shared anyhow, so I skipped that moral dilemma by furious inaction.

Side note: I was forced to change my name (here) once. Was a long, long time ago.

Brother posted something twatty, under my old name (He'd do this all the time, not here, but generally be a cunt to his geeky younger brother). I didn't want to go down the whole "It wasn't me, sorry!" as that crap doesn't wash and is always unbelievable, and I'd (I guess) be cynical towards anyone claiming that, so I scrapped Fillip (who I was) and used my real name.

Ta-da!

People can get over-sensitive on forums. They mostly come back, in my experience.

On that note DEF2 - I have a huge list of live gigs and whatnot - from looking you up I suspect you have way more material than me as it is, but if you're after anything in particular, give me a shout.

I doubt he has anything of interest. To my knowledge he's had the following, none of which I think is particularly rare these days:

I Scrubbed the Crabs that Killed Sheffield
Ping Pong Jerry demo
Hallamshire '85
OU sessions (4 tracks - Babies demo, OU rough mix, Live On, Space)
The Boss / Watching Nicky / Happy Endings demos
'Coca Coca Planet Live' 1994 live promo
A few tracks from the 1999 demo incl Cuckoo, Quiet Rev and some others

The only thing that can possibly be said in his defence is that he paid a lot of money to get the OU demo from a commercial dealer, which is why I was prepared (about 11 years ago) to give him some of the other items on the above list in return for it and honour his request not to copy it for anyone else.

You might remember I clashed with him on here in the distant past. His persistence did mean that he got hold of some quite obscure things (OU tape, Coca Cola Planet Live, 1999 tracks) which might not have made it into circulation otherwise, but the way he tended to treat recordings as currency, forever wheeler-dealing to try and get more stuff out of people (and always for himself, certainly not with any thought towards sharing it with the wider community as Stephen, Will and Jason have), always rankled with me.

This thread is a shining example of how much good can come from some bad, it fair warms the cockles.

This is why I like coming to this forum. Everyone has always been really welcoming to new people and not snobby about rare stuff they find (which is a rarity on other forums, like you need to be in an even MORE elite club than the band's forum to share rarer stuff). I've heard a lot of rare stuff from people on here and Stephen's portfolios that I never would have heard otherwise and you take a shitty event like this and turn it around. And the few arguments that have broken out on this website have generally always been resolved fairly quickly and maturely. It's really nice and it's what keeps me coming back and checking the pages every day.

 Well, that and the tea...

£100? Bloody hell, that's a lot of money to be ripped off. awful to have trusted someone and be let down so rubbishly.

Scott should really have the decency to come on and reply. Hard to believe he pulled this stunt multiple times and that those who were ripped-off and post on here didn't say 'owt.

Scott never ripped me off but I did contact him once to offer a trade for Flux festival. This was around 2000, before anyone had heard "Sunrise" and we were all really excited about future Pulp. I didn't have a great record collection but I was living in the US and offered to send him some American stuff that might be hard to find in the UK. I was thinking a big bag of tootsie rolls or something. So anyway, he replied that he wanted some obscure Corey Feldmen sings Michael Jackson record from 1988. I couldn't tell if he was taking the piss or being a bit fruity. I didn't bother to reply. In retrospect it was quite funny, but at the time I took my Pulp very seriously and was rather put out but the whole thing. Anyway, he eventually gave Flux to a girl he fancied, who passed it on to me. (NB: its possible I could be thinking of someone else entirely, I'm old and my memory is shot)

 What's your name? I have a vague recollection of someone at college asking me to get a Corey Feldman record, it could have been me, not Scott.

Ah, but has he assumed another identity on the board the cheeky little scamp.
