Watch out May 2012, when the project called The Space is launched.
What is that ? Well, when former BBC legendary DJ John Peel died in 2004, he left behind him a huge collection of 25000 LP's, 40000 7" and countless CD's.
The Arts Council project and the John Peel Centre, with support from the BBC, decided to digitise part of the collection, with a pace of 100 records per week from May to October.
That being said, don't get your expectations too high, as, of course, there would be copyright issues if those records were available as mp3's. What you will get (and would already be pretty awesome judging by the numbers) is the virtual artworks of the records, as well as streamable files.
That's good news anyway.
