Jim Morrison | Poetry Tapes & Recordings
Contemporary culture is often presented as drowning in mindless nostalgia , with everything that has ever been recorded circulating in a deluge of digital information. Whole subcultures have emerged in this memory boom, as digital technologies enable people to come together via a shared passion for saving obscurities presumed to be lost forever. Their activities capture an urgent desire bubbling underneath the surface of culture to save everything, even if the quality of that everything is questionable.

Back in , Terry Dooley spoke to former world title challenger Pat Barrett at length about his career. Barrett had recently resurfaced on the Manchester boxing scene and, over the course of time, had lost all the footage of his fights apart from a short highlight reel.

It was lost when British Boxing News went down yet has resurfaced and some of the audio has been recovered. Boxing Social are republishing it in full.

The music was lost to the ages.
