Re: Earl's Court VCD being posted to abslz Which Provider?

["Eddie Lombardi" <eddie_lombardi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I was just thinking about signing up for an account with a 
newsgroup provider.  I've tried looking for a free provider with this binary 
group but to no avail.

Can anyone recommend a site to sign up with that has the 
alt.binaries.sounds.led-zeppelin newgroup on it?

Thanks

Eddie
