[TV] [MUSIC] [Standup] Bill Hicks collection (full, but party LQ), VHSRip/DVDRip, avc1/divx/..., 8.36GB (video), 617.5 MB (audio)

Proud to finally share my full Bill Hicks collection, loads of rare videos, all the major releases, many audio albums.

However: these are mostly low quality rips, often from sub-par VHS tapes. I don't have the remastered (?) DVD release, so some of the sets might exist in far better versions. The core specials are in fairly good quality, though...

There are some versions of some sets floating around that on first glance seem to be better (MKV, better bitrate, x264 or 5 codec), but in my personal opinion they weren't actually better, but rather more grainy and blocky (especially in the darker backgrounds).

(Recently there was e.g. a gigantic standup collection of 40GB containing a few Hicks specials, but the quality wasn't better than mine)

If you have better versions of any of these flying around, please do share them accordingly and consider dropping me a line, for I'm greatly interested in perfecting my collection.

Most of the rare material, interviews and obscure TV appearances were ripped from YouTube - big shoutout and thanks to http://www.billhicksforever.org for compiling. But many of those were horrifically named, so I grabbed them all and applied a consistent naming scheme, where info was available.
