Funnily enough, I was actually pondering whether his death could have been mentioned here. I haven’t seen any reference to it online apart from his own website, but yes, David Moore died earlier this year, I believe.

I emailed him at the end of January to enquire about his announcement that he was selling his collection. Just over a week later, I got a reply from his daughter Jenny to say that he had passed away recently. According to the Internet Archive, the announcement could have been posted on or before 27 February. I believe he would have been 76. It would be interesting to know more about him. The website now says he died in February.

I bought from David’s lists, and met him last September at his garage sale. I collected some records I had already arranged to buy from him. Also there was Redpunk (Paul), who I met.

Apparently David had around 100,000 78s or more. Amazing. Condolences to his wife and family.
