This site exists as a tribute to APRIL WINE...

...maintaining it keeps me out of the bars.

A note regarding the most recently added stuff will appear on this page,
along with whatever else pops my cork.

Welcome to The Buerster Collection's NEW HOME!
(Probably looks a lot like the old one, eh?)

In September 2011 it became necessary for me to find a new host for this site because I no longer had access to the server where it resided for many years.
(That site is still there, but since I can't get at it I can't take it down.)
Brian Greenway kindly offered me space on April Wine's server, and as of November 2011 my site officially became part of the aprilwine.ca domain!




I finally got my hands on the complete set of
April Wine 7up "ROCK CAPS" from 1973!



There are new additions to my RADIO SHOW LP collection.



Several new South American singles have joined my collection!



A SHIRTLOAD OF SHIRTS HAS BEEN UPLOADED.



A couple of interesting new items are in the V/A LPs (US) section.
(One in particular is REALLY strange...)

There are a number of new additions in the AW-Related CDs section,
including several recordings that involve April Wine's original bassist JIM HENMAN.

On August 22nd, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Myles Goodwyn was kind enough to lend his
signature to the oldest April Wine concert poster currently known to exist.
Whack the first link on THIS page to check it out!

A question came up regarding the different versions of the song "I Like To Rock"
Click HERE to see the results of my exhaustive research.

In 2006, Myles and Brian put down their guitars and picked up a paint brush for
"A Brush of Hope" - a campaign to raise funds for
The Kidney Foundation of Canada's research funding program.
Check out their paintings HERE!
