I knew some of the story,
but that’s a real eye opener.

I was aware of the Ariston/Linn story but not to this extent!

Sad!

Wow! I knew there was "something" to do with the LP12 but I never knew exactly what. That certainly lays it all out.

I knew the story too. Bits of it anyway. Now I’m very much intrigued.

What a tragic end! So sad, but not unique, I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing that post Fran. I, too, had heard rumblings about the Linn Sondelk LP12 but I didn't know very much about it.

Have just read the article properly written by his Daughter. Beggars belief. Suspicious circumstances surrounding the break-in and Hamish’s untimely death. The poor man must have been traumatised. I’ve met Ivor T a few times and, to tell the truth, I did not like him.

Shades of Netflix special ‘Watch the Founder’ too.
