here's an example of how recovering Teletext can help other databases such as #MusicBrainz
the Planet Sound magazine broadcast on C4 Teletext can provide a lot of previously hidden information, such as providing a more accurate "form" date for this indie band.

I find exampels of "early" interactive TV rather interesting, and Teletext was often used as a means to provide various interactive services. Here is a visual example of someone actually using a mortgage service in Nov 2000! Mr and Mrs Chilvers I hope you got your house!

Productive day, I've got nearly 300 additions to my Internet Archive UK adverts collection ready for upload and finally sourced a remote for one of my VCR's!
Sadly my beloved Panasonic DVD recorder decided it no longer wanted to exist last night, so the substitue is in play now!

I got some great #Jazz CDs from a car boot recently. Many of these were 50p! Great condition and helping me on my exploration journey of this fine genre

It's not always often I get ads from the 80s, but when I do I love the car ones so much, it tickles my petrolhead sensibilities so well.
This #Renault21 ad is just lovely

The smell of secondary school is finally gone apparently #LynxAfrica
Good riddance I'd say, did they also get rid of that god-awful Lynx Chocolate too?

tonight's #musicbrainz work is listening and finishing up the metadata for this Buddy Holly and the Crickets compilation from 1993.. not the biggest BH fan but it seems like a pretty comprehensive collection

So I found my big box of "to sort" CDs, and have started going through them. Turns out I never listened to Green Day's 2012 album ¡Dos! until today, it's ok - not their best but not terrible. However it had barely any metadata on #musicbrainz! That's fixed now 😁🤓

I'm making a request to the international law making bodies to prevent anyone from releasing anymore music under the name "mirage" 😂 #musicbrainz

From that pile of random grabs I found another local musicians CD, this time Les Handscombe's Tailgate Jazz Band. Featuring 15 tracks recorded live in Castle Hedingham in 2011 covering a selection of New Orleans and Dixieland jazz. Great stuff!

I went to the clearance #charityshop again this week and picked up another 10 CD's for £1. Random grabs for gap filling on #musicbrainz.
One of them was this fantastic 2CD #Dixieland jazz album of Bob Scobey music and has been on heavy rotation for the past few days
