Hi Paul, a big Thank You for all the vinyl disks that you make accessible for us!!! Great effort, great effect. Many many old memories come back in my mind.
But a question: could you make expired uploads accessible again for a time? E.g. this vinyl from The Mission?

Paul, would be it be possible to upload tracks separately in future? E.g. the b-sides of this release are already available on CD and I have those, it’s just the a-side that is not available, so I’d prefer to just download that. With the size of FLACS, it would help a lot. However, I also appreciate that if you do want all the tracks, a single upload is easier, so it’s nice to have both options. Thanks.
