Ross Campbell Fleetwood & Fishing: Songs of the Trawling Trade (90* d) RE: Fleetwood & Fishing: Songs of the Trawling Trade 27 Jun 23


Sorry for delay in responding. I made some copies of the Final Trawl CDs late last year but was not happy with how they turned out. I have also been unable to access my CD printer which prints direct to the CD surface. Work in progress, but I am down for hip replacement shortly so may not be able to get back to the project for some time.
The original CDrs from 2000 may well have succumbed to CD-rot. The type I am using now are supposed to be (!) medical archive quality, so should last longer (100 years claimed!)
I took the opportunity last year to back up the computer that holds the Final Trawl and various Red Duster projects to several separate hard drives (they also are subject to decay, drop-out and degradation - the machine itself is twenty-three years old but so far still working).
Could do with a volunteer (several decades younger) to take this material on for the future.

Ross
