So far the only parts of the world that are well represented here are Western Europe, North America and Australia/NZ. Imagine we could have front pages in the major Indian languages, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Japanese and started getting significant contributions from these lands. Front pages in Spanish and Portuguese would also expand our reach in South America. Also, we can only speculate as to what proportion of records were private pressings, never issued for sale. This will include promotional records, school choirs and bands, and a relatively few private recordings for birthdays and special events, and I suspect we've barely scraped the surface of these in the three major regions.
