Library of Congress launches National Geographic
You can now hear more than 10,000 historic recordings without dropping a dime into the Library of Congress' National Jukebox, NPR reports.
The new website provides access to more than 10-thousand historical recordings for free on a streaming-only basis – no downloads. It covers the first quarter of the twentieth century and includes music, poetry, political speeches and other spoken word recordings. Right now, it only includes recordings made by the Victor Talking Machine Company, which Sony controls. The project is also a collaboration with the University of California, Santa Barbara – and its Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Records – which is helping to create a searchable database for every recording in the National Jukebox.
Major Pink Floyd reissue campaign on the way?
It looks like the Pink Floyd catalog, or a chunk of it, will be out in greatly expanded form in September. I hadn't heard of these previously, but Amazon lists the following releases, with pictures. The "immersion" box sets include several disks (studio outtakes? Live recordings? Both?), while the "experience" releases are double-CDs. Looks like there will be some single-disk reissues of LPs, too. More details as they surface.

Wish You Were Here - Immersion Box Set

Gates removed from Liverpool's Strawberry Fields
The gates from Liverpool's Strawberry Fields, former grounds of a Salvation Army home, have been removed and replaced with replicas to prevent further damage by overzealous Beatlemaniacs.
The Salvation Army said the 100-year-old wrought iron gates...will be taken into storage for "safe keeping".
The replacements have been made by a local specialist, Jim Bennett, and gifted to the charity.
