SPECIAL DTIFC ACTION : BEATING THE BOOTS
As some of you may know, a bootleg-version (to be accurate, it's a
"pirate") of the 2000 Christmas CD (Scenes From A World Tour/DTIFC 005)has been available for some months. Although the bootleggers tried to makethis CD look like an official DTIFC-product, they failed hopelessly. They used only pictures from the Touring Into Infinity-period !!! (Not to mentionthe fact that they "used" some tracks from the OFFICIAL Live Scenes From New York CD, instead of the PC video-file that is included on the ORIGINAL and OFFICIAL Christmas CD). To be honest, the bootleg comes in a rather neat digi-pack, but other than that, it's still a cheap re-production of a rather cool original.
So, where does this leave us? It's obvious that there's still a great
demand for old Christmas CDs, otherwise no bootlegger would invest money in this replica. After some weeks of consideration we came up with the following idea: if someone else makes money out of DT's and OUR pocket,why not try to "spoil" the market a bit for them, with the ORIGINAL CD and offer our leftovers of the ORIGINAL Christmas CD for a limited time to recent (who weren't able to obtain the CD back then) and new subscribers as a sort of "Beat The Boot".
We offer three ways to get hold of one or both of these unique CDs:
1) Become a member now and get the Fan Club CD of your choice (that is
1999 or 2000) shipped with your first fanzine.
2) For existing members, order 4 back-issues and receive the Fan Club CD of your choice (that is 1999 or 2000) FOR FREE.
3) Renew your current subscription and receive the Fan Club CD of your
choice (that is 1999 or 2000) FOR FREE.
It is also possible to get both CDs by combining any of the three
choices. For example you are a current member until fanzine 27 and you
want both CDs. You can renew your membership to nr 31 and order 4
back-issues. Or you can renew your membership to nr 35. New members can for example become a member for 2 years, etc.

1999 Christmas CD, fill in the application form as soon as possible !!! .
