Sounds like a great idea, but there are problems:
1. Ask a record company to find the master tapes for any particular old album and the chances are they'll have been lost/chucked out/stolen/etc. 2. Even if they did do it, you can bet the downloads would be 128kbs lossy with DRM. 3. Record companies don't give a s**t about music, so they just couldn't be bothered. adamslim;149036 Wrote: > Not if it's all Rick Wakeman though ;) Yeh, he has done some stinkers - most of his output, come to think of it.
