Project is still going strong but we need #Chicago people to transfer cassettes and DAT tapes. Preferrably from the Chicago area. If you have a #Nakamichi deck and some time to run them, please get in touch. No need to edit anything, just get tape in the digital domain. Please spread this word!

Aadam Jacobs did an interview with a local Chicago radiostation about his recordings and the project to digitize them all at the Live Music Archive.

We have several volunteers working on the shows and publish new shows every day!
