Blimey! I am proud to say we have reached the 1000th post on indie mp3.I originally started indie mp3 in February 2002. The plan was to upload a track of the week from my 7" and 12" singles collection and all on labels not affiliated to the BPI! Using the Wayback machine you can see some versions of this site and my poor design skills although in 2003 a chap called Jeff did a stunning orange design at one point. Note the impressive online archive which has long been pulled although I do plan reposting these tracks now I have a turntable again!
In 2003 I added a blog to the site but I noticed that this was far more popular than the main site and in mid 2005 I moved over to blogger and merged the sites. Looking back at my early posts shows that I have no real writing talent although a love of music, especially indie pop, makes me an enthusiastic writer. Luckily I have been joined by better writers than me in the shape of Magnusk, Russ, Larryhag and Lost Music who have all contributed to this blog in the past 18 months and thanks to their contributions I can say that my writing has got better. As I near my 40th birthday it did get me thinking how long this site will last but I am sure it will be another 1000 posts minimum!
Anyway to celebrate the 1000th post we needed something special indeed and I am grateful to Dave once more who has supplied me with a recording of Amelia Fletcher at the Deptford Fountain from 1991. Dave, who ran the club, wrote it was Amelia Fletchers solo set from 1991 where at the end Talulah Gosh, the original line-up, jumped on stage and did In Love for the very first time.It's not a bad recording either. Enjoy!

Bring on the next thousand posts is what I say. When I first found this site I was like a kid in a sweetshop with so many cool downloads. Now I get to (occasionally) post on here! A great site. Long may it continue.
Congratulations on the 1000th posting, Tom! I still fondly remember that bright orange website with so many downloadable songs! cheers!
