The download links to a number of the earlier posted albums on this blog have been deleted due to the lack of space we have on RapidShare. Since a few months we are also using Megaupload, a server that provides us with much more space to upload our albums to.

To re-upload all the removed links takes a lot of time. This would have to be done next to all the new albums we post on this blog. Some of the older downloads were not in the quality we are used to now and that would also mean “re-doing” them completely. Beside the time it takes to do this, we also have to be, to speak in the words of Glenn Miller, “In the mood” to do this. The team members also have a life beside “Lounge Legends” that is quite worth living and we all like to keep it that way.

Very frequently we get requests to re-upload certain albums. We have a policy about this. “You have to give some, to get some.” In other words, if you ask us to re-upload a certain album, you will have to donate something. That can be money or an album, the choice is yours. Otherwise you will just have to wait and see if and when we re-upload the older links.

We hope you can understand this.

The Lounge Legends Team.

The Lounge Legends ABC

One of our readers came up with the suggestion to make a compilation that had all the tracks starting with another letter from the alphabet. Thanks for the idea Alfred.
I never thought it would be so difficult to find a title that starts with another letter than the one before. Some of them were quite easy ofcourse, but some letters made me search through my collection for quite a bit of time. But then again, all that searching made me find titles I didn't even remember I had.
So here it is, The Lounge Legends ABC. I hope you will have just as much fun listening to them as I had searching for them.
