Announcement :

As you all know I've always used Zippyshare as my 'Go To' file-host. Now they announced they are pulling the plug. I've used many file host sites in the past (when Chez Monsieur Maurice still presented ripped original albums), but was constantly haunted down by the Internet Police and my accounts kept on being banned. This was never a problem with Zippyshare.

So now I'm going to try again. Maybe they won't zoom in on home-made compilations...

This also will mean that the links won't expire any more... That's a plus !

If there are issues with the new file-host, please leave a notice in the comments so I can handle it. 

Thanks and Enjoy !

MM

P.S. After 24 hours of consideration I will be changing to yet another file-host, that is (hopefully...) a bit more 'user friendly'. So as from the 1th of April all the links in the 2023 posts are renewed. The older ones will be renewed in the future during the Annuals Re-Post Extravaganza !
