The In Deep Music Archive is an eclectic collection of music in many forms. An historical and contemporary library of all available physical formats - Vinyl, CD, Cassette, Reel to Reel tape, 8 Track, 78RPM, VHS, DVD, Laser discs, reference books, encyclopedias, catalogues, biographies and magazines. Collected by Marty Willson-Piper over the past 50 years, the archive has grown into this wonderful collection through a life of scouring the record stores around the world, but also through generous donations from friends, fans and record labels alike. Any funding goes directly towards either running costs or increasing the content. Our ambition for the archive is to create a musical culture centre with a small venue, that will also be used for music lessons and workshops and as a meeting place for music lovers in a unique atmosphere.
Music today has been Dean Friedman’s self-titled second album, released in 1977. Tony Levin plays bass, Rick Marotta (amongst others) on the drums.

Music today has been Grateful Dead – Live/Dead (1969), live at The Fillmore and Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. I’m happy to say that the ex-band played there once, I had that experience, but it wasn’t all roses. I think we had a pretty small crowd (although Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong was there) and […]
Music today has been the single I Am The Seed from the forthcoming album Albion by Harp. Harp is the project of former Midlake singer Tim Smith. As it happened, today there was an article in The Guardian about him and it name-checked The Blurred Crusade. Music Of The Daze The musical musings in this […]
Music today has been Dot Allison’s great new album Consciousology (2023). Born and bred in Edinburgh, she still lives there, she was the singer in One Dove who made just one record, Morning Dove White (1993). Since then, she has made seven solo albums and this one is the first that I’ve investigated. Highly recommended. […]
