Uploading Again

Hi All,
Just a quick note. I have finally decided to reupload all the links to my collections. It will take a little bit of time but I have already updated Vol 1-11 of the 7" series (Arch Angel's Shots) and Vol 1 - 2 of the 12" series (The Twelves). I have also updated Leroy Smart Selection Vol 1. Come back soon and most of the links (if not all) should be working again.

The Arch Angel

Leroy Smart Selection Vol 2

I have been buying up a fair amount of original Leroy Smart 45s over the years. A few years ago I put together a selection of some those 45s for my own enjoyment and I made it available to people through trades. Well, here is a second batch of 45s (most of which are familiar). I probably have enough for quite a few volumes. As I digitize them for myself, I will make them available to everyone. Enjoy!

Arch Angel Update

Hi folks. Just a couple of comments on the links I provide in this blog. First, they are all records I own and they are all original issue (as far as I can tell). I do not post nor add repress records to my compilations. I have nothing against repress 45s. I own tons of them and will continue to buy them. However, I will only make my original 45s, 12"s, or 10"s available. There could arise a situation in which one of the records I share has here been issued as a repress. In that case, rest assured that the record I make available will be an original.

Secondly, I do this as a labor of love and in the interests of sharing. I do not receive any compensation nor am I looking for any compensation. If someone wants to share with me, that is great! However, I do not make sharing a condition of enjoying this blog or the collections I make available.

I am finally up and running in my home 'studio' and I am currently working on more volumes of the Arch Angel 7" series. When that becomes available, I will make sure that it is well documented there is a NEW set. Most of the sets I have been posting have been around for a while and some of you may have seen them or traded for them a few years back. In any case, all of the sets will be made available here eventually and any new ones will also be added.

That is all for now. Hope you are enjoying my vinyl collection.
