Universal Music Group, the world's biggest record company, has announced plans to release more than 100,000 "deleted" music tracks on the internet. According to Media Guardian, the move means that consumers will be able to purchase favourite tracks that are no longer available on CD. Universal's back catalogue includes artists ranging from French cabaret star Jacques Brel to Greek folkie Nana Mouskouri and UK rockers Eddie and the Hot Rods. The Guardian's Owen Gibson writes: "[Universal's] rivals are expected to follow suit, resurrecting artists and creating the 'celestial jukebox' long envisaged by online music enthusiasts, with everything ever recorded available at the click of a mouse." I say: the big music companies have always been slow to embrace change, and it's taken them a heck of a long time to understand what the internet's all about. Let's hope we get that great big jukebox cranked up soon.
