LaMP's in the steady process of transferring past soundtracks from old Digital Audio Tape (DAT) format, to hard disc backup. This has been tricky as it's difficult to get DAT machines serviced properly.
Thanks to advice from Ray Staff and help from Simon Griffett and the other lovely people at www.audiorelated.com we're there, and transfer is underway. After this we'll be arranging for mastering and making CDs for release via LaMP's independent label. Fans will be able to buy CDs with interviews, colour pictures and liner notes from the LaMP shop.
