Some of us have become turned off by the efficiency of audio in this day and age and want the days back when if you wanted to listen to a single track you put a record on the turntable and dropped the needle. I can't find the posting but there was one where you mentioned the amount of downloads you had for your posts and it was miniscule. Fair enough, go and chase the fuckers posting leaks of new albuums etc. but the seven inch of Godley & Creme's Under Your Thumb? Give me a break! The music industry is killing itself with bullshit.; 8 December 2008 at 16:57
Lee said...: Thanks Scott
Had to check Godley and Creme but that's still ok :)
Yeah some do surprise me, the first takedown I received was for the MASH theme tune on Vinyl?? and others that are widely available in top quality just about anywhere?

The amount of downloads are as you say miniscule, very few have gone over a 100 downloads (and those were just because another blogger has linked me on their site - thanks 5P's).

Just in case you think the lack of recent posts is down to this don't worry, it's just a lack of spare time at the moment.
I ripped a bundle the other day, but just gotta spend some time with trimming, cover scans, uploading etc so they will be here soon.; 8 December 2008 at 17:26
Lee said...: and today's takedowns were Dr Feelgood's Roxette vinyl and Tainted love vinyl :(
Tainted love had the RS link removed a couple of days ago and now blogger did the rest :(; 10 December 2008 at 01:20

The guy over at Pathways To Unkow World has an interesting solution. Worth the read...

Lee said...: Thanks Mug
Well I've taken the advice, and set the blog to not being searched by Google, I'll see if it makes any difference for a few weeks.
Although hopefully everyone doesn't do this or I'll never find anything anymore?; 11 December 2008 at 04:42
Anonymous said...: Yes, I guess it's something of a dual edged sword...

As always, thanks for all you do here!; 11 December 2008 at 17:40
Lee said...: Not a good start :(
Another 2 vinyls taken down today.
XTC's generals and majors, and UB40's King.
Still not sure why these are being removed instead of some of the CD rips? as the vinyls concerned are all over 25 years old and have long been deleted from the available catalogue and replaced by CD compilations.
Always had the suspicion that the people who sell these vinyl's online for a huge profit are the ones complaining, not the record companies.; 12 December 2008 at 02:43
Anonymous said...: That's an intriguing theory. We may never know... Although I'm not sure that hard core vinyl fans would settle for digital recordings. I dunno. All I know is that it's completely ridiculous for these morons to go chasing after decent blogs like this that are sharing long since deleted vinyl.; 12 December 2008 at 04:48
A Dashing Blade said...: Mash, Dr Feelgood & Tainted Love?F'ing stupid. Gotta say (& had a couple), my attitude is a quiet repost, no noise, no Totally Fuzzy, just repost.; 24 December 2008 at 22:14
Lee said...: Since taking the option of removing the Google search the takedowns seemed to have slowed down (only 2), although the RS deletions are up :(
Might do the repost when I have more time.
Haven't posted on Fuzzy in ages so don't blame them.; 25 December 2008 at 02:31
