help needed!

Please email any info to Alan: utle2uk@btconnect.com
Work may now be finished on "The Crack In The Cosmic Egg" CD-Rom
project. But, nothing is ever complete!
We got it as complete as we could, but already we are accumulating new info to
add to a future edition.
We are also still after some items as detailed on my wants
lists page.
Those that have the CD-Rom know what info we already
have, but there are also odd singles covers,
incomplete covers, and ones we could with better scans of. Some such stuff,
like the Argile "Weltmusik" cover
I've now found. Yet some things are really proving to be elusive! So, take a
look at the listings below, and see
if there's anything you've got that we haven't. Please start/keep digging and
help us!
As I'm now on broadband you can email me mp3's as attachments, so if you've
found something good...!!!!
Or, even better upload it and send me the link!

We also welcome any rare music
and videos!
Maybe the next edition could be a DVD-Rom, which would give us 4
gigabytes to play with, or at least I could trim the UT site sector! Whatever,
do you have some unpublished Krautrock material? Would it be possible for us to
use it? I do have quite a few things on tape that would be well-worth adding,
if we can get rights/permission. To be able to use any such material we need
permission from the artist and/or owner of the work. Any such material is used
as "promo" only with the rights remaining with the artist. Sound
files are best supplied to me as standard CD tracks or wav
files, as the mp3 encoder I have seems to do a better job than most encoding to
56k. Videos are best supplied as avi or wmv files on CD or DVD. If they are supplied as DVD
film I can rip them using DVD tools that I have, but that can be long-winded
and awkward. We cannot pay for any such material, but the more multimedia
elements we can add the better future editions will be. email me utle2uk@btconnect.com
