Fun to read some of these reviews, apparentl from random internet folk, like on jungle boogie - https://archive.org/details/78_jungle-boogie_the-bobby-true-...

Some guy just wanted to tell everyone some neat little facts about this thing he apparently knows a lot about. I find it fascinated how much people care to know about things like this.

EDIT: whoever this "arc-alison" character is, they're prolific - I'm finding their informational reviews all over this archive.




Not to take anything away from the effort, but most of that information is on the disk itself - and you can hear that it's not the same as the Kool and the gang track :-)

I feel really rude for saying that because I would hate to discourage people from contributing on the internet, especially to a project like this. And on that note, this project is awesome! As a crate digger, I can see myself spending a lot of time trawling through these tracks.


It's ok to copy information. Just makes it more available/searchable, for one.


Agreed. To clarify, I wasn't saying that it's not worth the effort, I was saying that in that particular case the reviewer wasn't showing a deep knowledge of the subject.


You should see the amount of esoteric knowledge on the reviews of Grateful Dead shows hosted on the Archive. It's impressive.


^this

So many great shows too. Such an awesome resource for fans.
