Re: The BBC Vinyl Archive
Sadly I'm not at all surprised by your up-date on the history of the Archive Mike but many thanks for the info anyway. There is always a passive/aggressive response to any mention of material that they have wiped in the past and I suspect it's the same attitude here. Didn't they spend [100?]millions on a computer video archive system that failed to didn't work and resulted in staff being paid to transport video tapes across London during the event filled year of 2012.
Those of us with long memories will recall that the well liked and innovative Director General [with almost the right initials ie GD] promised to open up the archives to the public. He didn't seem to see "rights" as an issue before a sudden and much regretted departure from his post.
