A search along the lines of 'john peel record collection' will give you lots of links to this news item. Here's what one of them said: Twenty-five thousand LPs, 40,000 singles and thousands of CDs from the collection of DJ John Peel are to become the musical exhibits of an interactive online museum. Peel was known for his wildly eclectic taste and as an unsurpassed champion of new music. He died of a heart attack, aged 65, in 2004, after more than three decades at the BBC. Peel’s collection...

davy jones of the mokees dies age 66 very sad .

Sorted throughmy stacks of cds. Going to get rid of 10% of my cds. Obviously the least favorite ones, or ones that i dont listen to anymore.  Have been able to keep my count of cds to around 100 since many years using this principle.

It's a long story but I was given the  8 LP Mono Dylan box set of his first 8 LPs and excellent they are and I am delighted! One small issue is that "Another side of Bob Dylan" contains another copy of "John Wesley Harding" and I am not in a...

Anyone know anything about her (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Dalton)? I read an interesting article about her in Word. I'm tempted by it to try her soon-to-be -released LP. Thanks Andy

This is from the Mahler-list, http://listserv.uh.edu/cgi-bin...;H=0&O=T&T=0 Feb., 2012, week 4, half way down the page. Tony Duggan's sister said that Tony died today, in hospital in Staffordshire, England, after having suffered a stroke yesterday. Tony's doctors have said that the stroke was sudden, and rendered Tony unconscious immediately; he did not suffer. I, for one, miss him.

Doug/Mark or anyone from the Naim crew, At the Bristol show this weekend you played a brilliant Jeff Beck track from a live album. Can you advise the album I must get  Regards, Lindsay

Currently listening to Emika on Ninja Tune label - just loving it. Serious bass workout too....   http://www.emika.co.uk/

The live album "Catalogue / Preserve / Amass" is back on sale at Headphone Dust from today http://www.swhq.co.uk/headphone_dust_mailorder.cfmLtd edition and all that if anyone is interested?

Just bagged a 1985 Harvest black label 'The Wall' and if it's as good as my similar WYWH and the reports I've read, then it should be a cracker. I've always found the 1994 'remaster' ok but a shade 'glassy' and slightly restricted in...

Maurice Andre, perhaps the greatest trumpet player of classical music, just died. His playing inspired me in so many ways, and I never tire of listening to his recordings.  RIP. http://brassmusician.com/maurice-andre-trumpet-virtuoso-has-died/

I hope Richard will indulge my posting of a link, but here is the band my 14 year old is in, performing on Saturday at the Portsmouth Music Festival. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWDgOqfiIsw The judges awarded them a merit, which is...

The new single 'Gravy Train' by country soul Bristolian band Phantom Limb is out 12th March 2012. The resigned, working-for-the-man sigh of ‘Gravy Train' captures the overriding sense that the band have spent all day making ends meet, but will sing songs they love long into the night. The NEW single is now universally available on YouTube 27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" height="285" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="380">

Hi, Should I consider that soon anyone with an internet connection will be able to stream high definition music from online music providers? This would have many advantages as one could have access to far more titles and genres as well as music...

My son gave me this album today. Its one of the best albums i have heard in a long time.Have a listen you might like it?Stu

can anyone explain why these are so coveted?  is it just the exclusivity value, or are they considered to be sonically better than reissues? and what exactly does first pressing mean?... when do pressings no longer qualify to be first...

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/4od I saw this documentary by Channel4 (UK-TV) last night, and can't say that anything surprised me. I have always thought touts were scum, and now with the internet they have gone corporate, but...

Not sure how many people on the forum live in, or near New York, or like Kraftwerk enough to travle there, but they are playing eight concerts, each of a complete album, starting with 1975's...

Around £7 at the mo on most sites inc free post.

I didn't get the last Peter Gabriel album as I was not 100% about it. For £3.99 New Blood just got itself ordered, along with Long Walk Home -(Rabbit proof fence soundtrack) at the same price. No doubt I will be cancelling these tomorrow and re-ordering @ £1.99. Thanks to Sis. E. for the heads up!

I got an e-mail from Linn Records to say that DG and Decca labels are now available from them. With visions of hundreds of recordings in 24/96 I went to their site to find a grand total of 5. All of them fairly old and at £18. I guess it is still early days for HD downloads.
