Wondering if anyone out there might like to trade some episodes of Countdown on DVD? I've followed these forums for some years, though only posted once before (a few years ago) and am sure the regular posters like Jason and Guru would have everything I have managed to record (which are all from the Rage repeats). But I certainly haven't managed to record them all back to '93 and would love to get hold of some of those I missed (or those where I missed the start or end).
Mine are all now in DVD format. Some were transferred from VHS that I recorded in the 90s, some were recorded direct to DVD from a Foxtel IQ recording and the most recent are via DTV. So, quality varies a little.
Below is the list of episodes I have. Would love to hear from anyone who would can help me to fill in the gaps, especially after I read in another post that 260 different episodes have aired as part of the Rage repeats since 1993 and I only have about 70. Proposing to trade via mail... unless you are in Perth...

Hey Sean,
I just randomly discovered this forum while browsing old ARIA Top 50 charts. I had no idea this little community existed but I'm very happy to stumble across it.
My discovery of Countdown episodes on Rage is only recent unfortunately, but it looks like I might have some that you don't.
These are all recorded digitally over the last 3 summers and converted to .MP4
More than happy to share. I'm in Perth btw.

Hello, I sent you private message about your offer but you not answer me. Are you still interesting of trade? I am asking because I have many full Countdown episodes
