Hi folks,
On Sunday July 29th our site went down, a hack is suspected but not certain, the damage was severe. It finally came back online Tuesday lunchtime but sported a mixture of old and new pages from the backup server; some pages were missing altogether. Apologies to those of you who have either been unable to access the site in or who have been viewing old pages full of dead links.
It is almost fully restored now, and the good news is that the spring clean seems to have speeded the server up a little!
Yours,
Jules

The Vinyl Tourist
A great record collectors site, with links to almost every vinyl related page you could hope for.
See if you can help the author out with his extensive wants list!
APPEAL
Issue 66 will sadly bring Neville's History of vinyl records to a close and I need new content for you!
The main thing I propose to do is build a comprehensive collectors FAQ, and for that I need questions..
If you have a burning question relating to your hobby, please send it to jules@moremusic.co.uk with the subject "collectors question".
I will answer those I can directly, plus pass others on to the UK record dealers network or possibly back to you folks in future issues.
Also I am always open to suggestions about how to improve the site and to offers to write/collaborate on future features.
