Lay Down Your Massive Tunes

I'm sharing the wealth. The humungous music collection I've amassed during four months or so almost constantly on-line with Emule has been dipped into for the rarest shit to amass a gift for my pal Ben, DJ, music journo, record label type etc - the only guy I know as obsessive as me about tuneage - which I will give him when I 'bowl' over to London in a few days. Han, this list might get you back on the hard stuff.

Quite a haul. Something for everyone, even Joe Public himself! (Floyd bootlegs)
Just as there's always a tune that the DJ wishes he'd brought, the absence of which haunts him through the set, I'm vexed by some omissions on this spectacular 4.5 GB (as near as dammit) explosion of cum.
There is not a dicky bird from my trinity of musical heroes (who sometimes form a hexagon with the present Hebden, Dixon Jr and Blakey) - namely Neil Young, Gal Costa (ok, heroine...... will be the death of meee etc) and Art Pepper. For shame, for shame.
I also meant to include Fat Freddy's Drop live in Paris but it somehow got lost. Next time, Murphmeister. Yo!
