Re Macs and recording
I use a Mac for transfering vinyl to CD and have found a programme called Toast to be effortless, simple and has great results. If you have a modern Mac you can also use iTunes for CD burning too but its not as quick as Toast. You cant get round the problem of a long lead though

RE Records youre still looking for
The Trugs - Self titled LP
Jez Lowe - 1st LP
Bluewaterfolk - 2nd LP
