Rod Stradling's Musical Traditions label has started making some of their vast catalog of rare recordings available as (criminally inexpensive) downloads. According to the website, "compared to £12, £16 and £20 for the 300 Series publications, the downloads of single CDs are £2.00, double CDs are £4.00, and 3-CD Sets are £6.00. The facility exists to pay more than these prices, if you'd like to!" I mentioned to Rod that surely his time and effort, and the music itself, is worth more than a couple of bucks, but he sounds happy with the arrangement and indicated that many purchasers are voluntarily giving more than asking price. I certainly will be. Available titles here (more to be added soon)
