This blog has been a labor of love, highly appreciated, and so I hate to sound like an ingrate, but -- the quality standards are lousy. Bitrate inconsistencies, incorrect tags, incomplete artwork -- why bother even posting? I mean, 128 KBS...? Surely there's another collector out there who could do a decent rip, scan the entire cover, etc.
We receive submissions from a lot of different people, making it impossible to maintain any sort of standards when it comes to quality... especially since a lot of this stuff is so rare and hard to find...
You say "surely" there is another collector who must have a better rip, artwork etc... What makes you so sure of that? If there is another person who has better rips, they certainly haven't contacted me about it.
I feel strongly about it and love learning your post. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
This blog will be closing for good (this time for real) on April 1st, 2008 to focus my attention on a new blog that will be opening some time later in the Spring.

The only decent thing to come out of new plymouth ever!

Kiwi Tapes was too polite... so I'll say it for them:
stick it up your arse, mate & if you are so sure you can do better please do.
Thanks for sharing all this really difficult to find music in whatever way you can KiwiTapes.
Look forward to the new blog.
Cheers.
