The Off The record blog will return in September 2009

Posted by Bruce on October 8, 2008 in Announcements with No Comments

This is a simple placeholder to let you know that the Off The Record blog will officially open again in September 2009

And what is this blog all about?

I will be highlighting some of the rare and unusual record (remember them?) releases from my huge library.

As soon as I’m able to access my record library from storage, I’ll get things started up again (hopefully by years end)

In the following posts, I will list a short description of each category to get things going prior to the official relaunch.
