Hello all

After 7 years, the time is right for StereoBase to pass into Stereophonics history. When the existing web hosting, URL and mail deal is up they will not be renewed and the site will lapse. Unfortunately I don't have the time needed to run the site properly, and there are other people out there doing a much better job that I ever could.

The good news is that I'm talking to three websites to take elements of the site that are unique and popular, specifically the collectors centre! More news on that shortly, but it's nice that parts of the site will live on!

Also, I have made the decision to part with the majority of my personal collection. Demo tapes, platinum discs, all kinds of wierd and wonderful stuff. There are some things that are too special to part with that I will keep, but the rest of it is looking for a new home. It's in a list www.stereobase.co.uk/stereobasesale.xls - please take a look. Cheaper item is ?1, most expensive ?300+!! Something for all collectors and fans guaranteed!

It's been a pleasure supporting the band via the website - I'll continue to be a huge fan, and you'll see the StereoBase name on forums and you'll bump into me at gigs in the future!!!

May your house be free from tigers.

Cheers - Mark
