^^

Peel's collection, which contains 25,000 LPs, 40,000 singles and many thousands of CDs, will become part of The Space, a new experimental digital service organised and funded by the Arts Council and the BBC.

The Arts Council will provide initial funding while the BBC will provide support and development advice. Further funding will be sought in the future to complete the project and make every record available online.

If anything was ever making sence and was in doubt that it was, then have a look at this idea for certainty. :W:

Fantastic idea. Such a legend and I can't think of anything better to do with his massive collection than share it with those who care!
