Roy Harper Podcast episode 28
The latest episode of Paul Davison's Roy Harper Podcast is out!
January 18th, 2010
We've updated the website!
Many many thanks to Paul Davison for all of his help and patience over the last... year or so. It's been a long time coming.
At first glance you might not notice much difference as we've worked hard to maintain the original design. The main difference is that we now offer full album downloads in MP3 and FLAC formats. There are a few albums now available for download that have been unavailable for some time. There are a couple of albums that remain unavailable but those will be up in MP3 and FLAC formats in the next couple of weeks as soon as they've had a general remaster... 'In Between Every Line' and 'Harper 1970-1975"
The other thing is that we have integrated the old diary pages into a proper blog format.
Something else that you need to know is that your login details for the old shop will no longer work. You'll have to create a new account if you want to take advantage of some of the new shop features such as purchasing downloads, creating a wishlist, and viewing your order status. Some options won't be available until you login.
We've tested everything as much as we can but there is likely to be something that we a haven't run up against. Please let us know if you have any problems with ordering or in viewing anything.
