I imagine most things are available- certainly KPM and I have a full run of the vinyl. I am always happy to upload things if, as Tony says it's not 10 + LPs.
I suspect for us who are older and especially if we collected in pre-internet days we have experience where we had to be patient and it took me decades to get all these.
It's making me reminisce....... (
watery effect as I look up wistfully to the sky....)
I remember having to hunt records by word of mouth so my first haul of 800 records was someone in a record shop telling me 'my landlord has a stash of them in his office' and then me going back and nagging to get this guys number.
Then it was mail order- I bought Drama Montage on Bruton for £40 (a fortune back in 1996) from Haggle Records.
Early internet days I was buying loads of records and recording onto mini-disc- the first digital recording I could do and sending Mini Discs all over the world and swapping with people in places like Australia.
So I guess for me I appreciate the hunt and didn't grow up being able to get anything fast- I remember paying £16 for a Funkadelic CD from America to get one track. Can you imagine having to wait 3 weeks to hear something now?!
I set the forum up because of loving the music and although I think it's great as well it felt a bit sad when the megathreads started where you could get everything in one swoop. It killed a lot of discussion on here because you didn't need to ask- it became a quick request for a re-upload, which in my opinion over the years have been increasing rude and abrupt. I can understand though that if you have always lived in a world where music is just there and easy to get you don't have an appreciation of the effort it took (me, anyway) to get it and I don't cough up to people who ask 'Anyone got this?'. I just think, 'Yes thanks' and click on. There's a definite lack of manners on here that I struggle to tolerate and ignoring it over the last I don't know how many years is my way of doing that.
You may notice that when asks politely I will offer. Members are lucky that lots of other people are more generous than I am and give it to them anyway. For me, whether you are online or stood in front of me, don't be rude.
watery effect..... and I'm back in the forum
So, I am always happy to oblige and you can just pick a few at at a time and before you know it you'll have them all. I appreciate my stuff so much because of the effort it took. I don't value things that are 'just there' as much. Call me old fashioned.
No, go on
You can
I don't mind
