1. I do not
plan to close the blog in the near future. Recently, I have sent around 50
humble help requests to 45cat and Discogs members and in 90% they remain
unanswered and this is really frustrating. I spend >100€/month on vinyls but many vinyls are not available
on the Internet markets.
2. Almost
2,500 separate active archives across 13 categories most with sub categories as
well – thanks Manny for counting. Navigation, finding the proper file can be a
problem. I have created “Content” post with enlisted categories and links. What
more can I do? Please advise if you have any idea.
3. Nearly all
missing tracks are tracks of British Lost Artists, difficult to find. They are
aggregated in a separate sheet and this sheet can be opened by clicking a link
in “Content” post.
4. Passes have
been added few years ago. Creation of the Let The Good Times Roll Club, the
Society that shares the same passion, that is willing to exchange comments, was
my goal. The number of “Internet Friends” that are willing to exchange comments
with me is less than ten and I’m very grateful to them for that. The access to sheet
with passes is easy and it should be no problem to find a proper
pass, copy and paste while unzipping. This sheet allows to follow all
updates (pass of the updated file is the update date), consists documentation of all posted files, without this sheet I would
be completely lost.

“In order
to have passes to download you have to collaborate on the blog…….. collaborating,
you cannot demand without giving something in return.” Commenting is enough.

“The
comments on blogs is a losing battle, many visits and few comments, it is
perhaps a matter of cyber-education.” I'm aware of that.

like to comment for comments sake”. Absolutely agree, me the same.

I’m aware of that and I’m sorry if you find pass-system complicated.

“This is
not a blog for the casual downloader who is happy with a selection of greatest
hits collections but for those of us who are obsessed with the 20th century pop
scene. As such the audience that fully understands and appreciates what is
involved is probably limited to a relatively small percentage of those who
visit your site.” I couldn't describe it more precisely.
