My aim was/is not to bring material into the public domain but to reduce the amount of space taken up on my shelves by VHS tapes as opposed to DVDs.

I do however have some audio tapes of musicians no longer with us who I recorded and also video discs of current musicians,these of course I would like to ensure were preserved.

So CJB what discs are suitable for archival use?

P.S. Re 99p shops, I am old enough and wise enough to know that you only get what you pay for.
