That way madness lies...

So I've just cleared some clutter and can access my LPs easily for the first time in a few years. All of a sudden (Jeanette Williams - track 15 Kent LP 007 "Floorshakers") I can find things I've long forgotten or didn't realise I had (like Dusty Springfield's "Where Am I Going" LP from 1967 on Phillips) and can digitise pretty much what I want - given time. Then I recall a how load of boxes of old cassettes and the possibilities are endless, but slightly daunting. Out of the blue someone has found a link to this blog as they've been after a title to a track on an old tape from 1988 they bought at a CCI mod rally (Asterix Goes Latin). So i find my copy, it still plays and think "digitise this" and phew! what a track listing.

So do I start the equivalent of ainting the Forth Bridge or let bygones be bygones? I came across six C90s of my fave parts of Pete Young's "Soul Cellar" on Capital Radio from the early / mid 80s and that brought back memories. I now hav much of hat was on there but the temptation to burn them as single 45 minute slabs of my history is getting powerful. Hmm? Any views?
