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.

Somethin' new has been added. ;)
Thanks to the book "The Australian Chart Book: 1970-1992", I am now able to give Australian chart info (when the single or LP entered the charts, the highest position it reached, and the number of weeks it was in) and will appear on future posts I make where I know...
