I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.
So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.
The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.
Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.
Thank you all

In early 1985, the release of the dance hit '19' brought Hardcastle acclaim and chart success.
'19' was a straight-forward dance record, featuring stuttering samples of television narrator Peter Thomas speaking about Vietnam war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
In November of that year Paul Hardcastle released his self titled album. The album entered the UK Album charts at number 53 but slipped out of the charts 6 weeks later.
There were a further 3 songs released from the album being 'Rain Forest' (53), 'Just For Money' (19) and 'Don't Wast My Time' (8).
Tracklisting: 01 - In The Beginning 02 - 19 03 - King Tut 04 - Don't Wast My Time 05 - Central Park 06 - Just For Money 07 - Moonhopper 08 - Better 09 - Strollin' 10 - Rainforest
'19' is a song by English musician Paul Hardcastle and was released as the first single from his self-titled third studio album Paul Hardcastle (1985). The song features dialogue by television narrator Peter Thomas, and a strong anti-war message.
The track is about America's involvement in the Vietnam War and the effect it had on the soldiers who served. '19' features sampled dialogue and news reports from Vietnam Requiem, a U.S. ABC television documentary about the post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by veterans.
The title '19' comes from the documentary's claim that the average age of an American combat soldier in the war was nineteen, as compared to the claim of World War II's 26. This claim has since been disputed. Undisputed statistics do not exist, although Southeast Asia Combat Area Casualties Current File (CACCF), the source for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, shows a disproportionate number of all deaths (38%) were ages 19 or 20. According to the same source, 23 is the average age at time of death (or declaration of death.)
Nineteen topped the pop charts in the UK for five weeks, and reached the top twenty in the USA, where it also topped the dance chart. For a while it was the top selling single in thirteen countries (helped by the fact that versions of the song were recorded in French, Spanish, German and Japanese), and it received the Ivor Novello award for Bestselling Single Of 1985.
The songs English language release came in at least three different 12" versions, each with an alternate cover design. Hardcastle was later sued by ABC for his unauthorized use of samples from the documentary.
Famous record and television producer Simon Fuller named his management company 19 Entertainment after he signed Paul Hardcastle to Chrysalis Records and the single went to number one.
UK progressive rock musician Mike Oldfield claimed that a melodic element of '19' had been copied from a sequence of his multi-million selling concept album, Tubular Bells, and a settlement was made.
