Thread Name: Free Rare Old Folk Album Downloads
Subject: RE: Free Rare Old Folk Album Downloads
The only download link I can find in the THTM comments on the Causley album is for an ancient Occitan folk LP.   Which looks like it got put in the Causley comments by mistake.   I wonder if Ms. Archer is mistaking that for a link to the Causley album.   If there's a link to the actual Causley album hiding there, it has been hidden very well.

THTM has been very obedient about restricting postings on recent releases, or when complaints are received, over the last year. I would feel much poorer without the collection of 1970s French and Belgian hurdy-gurdy LPs which have been posted there. These are albums whose very existence was unknown to me, despite 30 years of serious record collecting.

The Internet and the personal computer consist of a toolkit for this sort of file exchange. If the blogs and cyberlockers are beaten down, something else will evolve.   The blog+cyberlocker ecosystem is the fourth generation of file sharing. And, in the background, here comes terabyte USB hard drive swapping. Have a copy of my entire collection in 20 minutes.

Moi? I buy every CD I can afford each month. I try to buy the very best of the ones I have downloaded if I can find them. Then I buy 2 or 3 more that I can't afford. Filesharing functions more as radio.
