Background

RareTunes was started in 2006 by volunteers Stuart Eydmann and the late Derek Hoy who saw the need for such an archive and wished to demonstrate its potential. It remains an independent, not for profit project undertaken without external funding. This version was launched in Spring 2016.

For more information see the FAQ and PRESS pages.
