So nice to see the MP3 thread back where it belongs, and I hope that we can take it over the 1,000,000 hits for staffie in it's somewhat revised format.
If anyone has time on their hands and wants to find and post requests that would be great and much appreciated.

In the meanwhile I will post an album or two a day from staffies' great legacy which he left me. If you have a favourite band and it's here I will try to post an album of theirs for you.

Today's offering is another band that we used to listen to A LOT the fabulous Colloseum, download, sit back and enjoy.

Mr A's considerable efforts (and others) has led to this welcome return of the most popular HOL thread.

Mr A's efforts in getting it re-started are to be applauded.

Just remember,

Mr A has little spare time, unlike the staffmeister, who worked full-time and overtime on the thread. Please give him a few weeks to get used to what's available from the archives.

To that end, recent albums (after March 2015) will not be available. Try to keep requests to pre 2015 releases.

Feedback is good for Mr A. If the download won't work, or just a simple 'thanks' is always appreciated.

Thanks Mr A
