This is pretty exciting but I hope most of the materials get exhibited at the National Music Centre rather than in the U of C archives. There are probably a lot of demo tapes, outakes, etc. of both sound and video in there that I would love to see...maybe even un-released tracks from Canadian artists.

I'll be honest I don't care much for most of the Canadian artists but if the donation includes any stuff from the following acts it could be very exciting:

EMI also acted as the distributor for artists like the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, Heart, Smashing Pumpkins, Garth Brooks, Pink Floyd, Queen and Iron Maiden. Capitol even released the first Beatles records in North America, bringing "Love Me Do," "Please Please Me" and "From Me to You" to the Canadian masses in 1963 before "She Loves Me" was released in the United States months later.
