Forgive me in advance if it's been posted already. If it Is buried here somewhere, I couldn't find it. Anyway, does anybody here know where i can find the infamous recordings of the Patriarca family ceremony in Massachusetts?

I doubt audio and video has been released for the public eye, but here´s a transcript of what was said during the initiation ceremony:

It was played in open court, but I think that's about it. The Boston Globe once ran a few pictures of the cars that pulled up out front of the house in Medford to drop people off.

I think that transcript is the single most riveting piece of mafia information on the web. We had long heard what happened at these but nobody had ever caught one on tape and it's riveting, fascinating and real....

In my opinion the second best piece on the web is Michael "Mikey Scars" DiLeonardo testimony transcript, very through and amazing inside look at the mob.

I remember hearing it at one time. Perhaps it was just little pieces, but I'm pretty sure that i heard it. I grew up in the eighties and I'm almost certain that I heard it back when it happened. Either way,thanks for the link there.

Here are some transcripts from the Medford, MA ceremony:

Here is surveillance photo, which was in the book about the bugged ceremony, showing Patriarca Jr. and Mercurio arriving for the ceremony.

Azguy the mikey scars transcripts are sooo good, this is great too.

JCB...was it snowing that day?

That link doesn't work but of it's the one I'm thinking of it's not of them entering the house in Medford. It was taken at some house in Lincoln RI

There was a book called Mafia Ceremony (or something like that) that had the entire ceremony transcript from beginning to end. It had a forward by Joseph Pistone, as well as some photos. I bought it in a grocery store back in the early or mid-1990's. Can't remember what I did with it.
