Yes Candy. I'm still here. Since doing those tapes for you at the 
start of the year, I've been cataloguing my entire collection. So far 
I've done over 300 tapes (thats over 6000 tracks and approx 1500 
tracks have been entered onto the database).  When that's finished 
I'll be in a position to supply all the requests that keep appearing 
on this notice board.  
I can't wait to get it finished as I can then start listening to the 
30 + C'D.'s I've bought this year(including the Beefheart limited 
edition C.D. which was advertised on this board by Rhino Handmade 
records). So keep watching this space.
