One year old today & good tidings to you all

Yes that's right. A year ago today I posted Volume 1. I have a vicious dog and it's idiotic owner to thank for the original inspiration! I was holed up at home for a week, resting my leg after being bitten by a dog in my local park. Bored to tears and looking for something to amuse, I hit on the idea of the blog. It has become something of a passion since. I'd like to take this brief opportunity to thank everyone who's encouraged me! Zischkale and LibertyCaps' have helped a lot with their endeavours, as have the others I have approached for aid in research. This would be a great time to hear from anyone out there, tell me what you think. Any suggestions of music, or even themes for future comps, would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the festive holidays and stay tuned. I have some great selections lined up; including Dutch, Japanese, Italian & Eastern European collections, plus a proto-punk comp in the works.....

Thanks, Rich.

    I agree with Mary. For such a short period of time you did a great job, which is not everyone's strength. So many wonderful compilations and only for one year!.. even hard to imagine :)

    Thank you so much for all this to you, Rich, and of course to you guys, Zischkale and LibertyCaps. Congratulate you with the "1st TDATS' Anniversary" and wish you all the best!

    Happy Anniversary! Thanks so much for aurally expanding my mind. You do a great job digging up all of this obscure (to me, anyways) music. You've turned me on to some good stuff,
    I hope you continue to find proto-metallic inspiration in 2011. Keep up the good work, mate!

    I wanna see Television in this proto-punk selection! Weird, they are proto-punk but sound a bit like post-punk.
    Meery Christmas to everybody! =D

    Gotta catch up with the last few comps--gonna make them my soundtrack for a long stay with out-of-state relatives. They look great!

    Merry Christmas, man, hope to discover a slew of new tunes in the new year!

    As for suggestions, maybe a new-bands-that-sound-old comp? I think we talked about it. Keep up the good work!
