Click on the image to see details of the project's releases.
| Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollina's manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollina's personal tapes, was given the approval of John's sister, Antonia, to share John's live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations. Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with John's fans and collectors. |
| Charlie Kaiser has recently given the OAS project access to his soundboard masters. He was the Front Of House soundman and recording engineer for virtually all of John's bands from about 1983 until his passing. This included Thunder and Lightning, Dinosaurs, Terry and The Pirates, Problem Child, and any of the spinoff bands. |

Old Mailing Lists:
There were 2 mailing lists which discussed John and his music:
| Yahoo: | CIPOLLINA |
| "Discussion, audio and video tape trading, stories, memories of the late great Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar player and his brilliant 25 year career." | |
| MSN: | Cip & Quick |
| "Dedicated to the vining and trading of John Cipollina,
Quicksilver Messenger Service, and related bands and artists.
Our goal is to seed shows only from the best available sources. To maintain the integrity of the shows we seed, we have established a system of permavines (which we define as passing the original disc along the vine for copying each stop along the way). At Cip & Quick, we will not be weeding shows (passing along copies that are in turn passed along to others)." |
