Why only
FIVE reviews a day ........
Well it is not because of a lack of discs to review. These
grow like Topsy see

MusicWeb was hit by an unprecedented set of circumstances.
In no particular order:
I lost my phone connection because the pole outside my house
was replaced with absolutely no warning. When my phone service
was restored my broadband speed was reduced to a trickle (less
than 1Mbps). It took a week to get back my normal 7Mbps.
Hurricane Sandy knocked out two New York reviewers for a while.
Similarly a severe storm in Scotland cause a lightening strike
on a telegraph pole knocking out one of my most prolific reviewers.
Another of my most prolific reviewers had a complete computer
meltdown.
All this was just at a time when we needed twice as many reviews
as normal as David Barker and myself found we were both going
on holiday in the same week. We are responsible for putting
up the daily reviews. This meant they all had to be prepared
in advance so that some-one else could put them up which required
another complete set of 50 reviews..
We did not have enough reviews in stock and coming in to do
all this at a rate of 10 a day so we reduced our showing to
5 a day.
However, we will return to 10 a day shortly.
As usual we will offer a service of 3 reviews a day between
Christmas and New Year.
