THE RHYTHM DIVINE

CAN YOU DIGIT?

FLACS, WAVs, MP3s, M4As... to many record collectors, files on a computer hold little interest, even though they may contain the actual sounds that fuel our passion for music in the first place. But even if they don't exist in physical format, the emergence of downloading and streaming platforms since the turn of the century, and the subsequent removal of some of the \"content\" therein, has made some of the music circulated rare and sought-after.

ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKERS

In 1975, 10cc and Queen reigned supreme with I'm Not In Love and that also happened to be the Christmas No 1. But how did both Bohemian Rhapsody. The former was the chart-topping sound of the game-changing singles happen that year, and which, wonders Paul summer and a production landmark, the latter a multi-part song-suite McNulty, remains the most revolutionary example of 70s songcraft?
