Thanks to the internet, long forgotten music from my past can now be identified and ordered within minutes, or longer at times, and I've now been reunited with some music I haven't heard at all for 20 or 30 years. I wrote about my 22 year struggle to identify 'Torpedoes' by Havana let's go, and then had to get a copy from Japan, but I did even better than that today.

I remember hearing a very funny song 'Ag pleez Deddy' (Oh please Daddy in an Afrikaner accent) by the comedian Jeremy Taylor on the radio in about 1969 and then meeting him in our family music shop, and telling him how much I liked it. Years later when my Grandpa died I found an LP by him in his collection with a written dedication to my Grandpa, who he obviously knew quite well. For some unknown reason it came to me last week, I did a quick search, ordered it, and the original EP from 1962 popped through my door this morning.
I have sometimes heard songs on the radio I haven't heard for 30 years or so, but I'd just heard this once in my life and remembered it, and have now heard it again after about 35 years, just as good as I remember it was.

Who else has found a long-lost record since going on the internet and being able to do searches?

When I was 9 or 10, I loved a song called "A Fine, Fine Day" by a little known artist named Tony Carey. The local college radio station played it every once in a while when I was in my teens so I was able to find the name of the album. I scoured used record stores for ages to find the album. I did manage to find a copy of the cassette in the bargain bin once, but never the album.

Last year, I found the album on Ebay. I'm now the proud owner of the original vinyl version, the cassette version (much warn out by now) and the CD version. It took roughly 20 years to find the darn thing, but I'm happy I did. I didn't pay a great deal for it either which surprised me.

Great question! I always loved the score and rare songs in the Universal horror films of the '30s & '40s. None of the music I really loved showed up on the few soundtracks I came across. That is until two years ago when some net music shop released a compilation of rarely released music from such films. Guess that was a 35+ year wait (from when I was a horror film addict kid).

Film music, for me, is always the hardest to find when it doesn't show up on the soundtrack (if there is a soundtrack). I'm still looking for songs from the original 1973 "Walking Tall" movie. Not the Johnny Mathis title song but the soul songs featured mid-way through, never mentioned in the credits.

During my first year online, I found an Argent LP now available on cd after a 20 some year search. My record want list shrank considerably thanks to the net (and so did the contents of my wallet!).

Currently I'm trying to track down a very rare soundtrack to the cult film, "Wild Zero", released sometime last year. I think it's on Sony Japan though not positive. If anyone happens to see it somewhere, please send me a PM.
