When one talked of “Black Cats” two decades ago, one meant the elite commandos who protect VVIPs. These days they are called SPG (special protection group).

The great consolation is projects like this blog, and the internet connectivity, that has provided the music lovers with a via media to publish and share the music that sits on forgotten vinyl records or music cassettes, probably stowed away in storage that is not often visited. These valued publications, and the ‘A haa’ moments they generate almost on a daily basis are a wonderful impetus for music lovers everywhere.
