"This site is an attempt to make a permanent record of the pop cover version LPs which were put out by budget labels such as MFP, Marble Arch, Windmill, Contour and so on." I hadn't realised there were so many different series of these! Subsites for various labels.

Hofner Guitar Miscellany Home Page edit / delete

"A site for vintage guitar buffs, with plenty of photos of old Hofner guitars from the 50's and 60's, together with sections on Selmer, Watkins/WEM, Bird, Fenton-Weill, Grampion, Dallas, and Elpico Amps." A huge amount of information and photos - the stories behind the companies are interesting.

"My present focus is documenting amplifiers of Australian origin and sympathetically restoring them - often as a guitar and/or bass amplifier, but sometimes as original." Also a bit on Selmer electronic organs.

Joyce Hatto Identifications edit / delete

The site that lists what each Hatto CD is copied from. This took a surprisingly long time to find when I was looking for it last night - the Hatto scandal is long enough ago now that most of the sites describing it are only on archive.org...
