The Legend & Historical Impact of Blex's Page of Good MP3
Blex, in my own words:
In retrospect, my thoughts regarding the legacy of the page.
You can also like the fan page I created on facebook !!!
The Legendary Page Archived:
- 2/16/1998 archive !!! NEW !!!
The Good Page EXACTLY as it existed shortly after Black February when
Geffen Records started going after the owners of the FTP sites with
Mp3s. A primary source of insurmountable value to future historians !!!
- 6/30/1997
archive !!! Released out of cryogenic stasis for the
masses (the maybe 1 or 2 of you a year judging from my access.log file) to
check out.
- Archive.org also has the page preserved! You can view the
old MP3 page and my famous crazy
writings HERE.

Here are some old news links that
show the glorious former fame of the MP3 page. Sorted by what I think is the coolest news article first!
The Archived Gigantic Guest Book:
From 5/16/1997 until 1/6/1999, Blex's Page of Good MP3 had 14,777
people sign the guest book that was on the page! In 1999, the site that
hosted the guest book (lpage.com) was bought out by another company.
The legendary guest book was then put to rest. At that time, I was
contacted by someone who worked for lpage and informed that my guest
book was in the top 5 of all guest books in the entire world! I was e-mailed
the entire contents of the guest book in html format. I saved the
guest book and burned it to a backup CD. There, it sat for over TEN
years! Finally, I have rediscovered the file and have posted in 10
parts for everybody to read and enjoy!
Nearly all of the comments posted showed praise for the MP3 page.
However, some people did leave angry comments that (in hindsight) are
now very fun to read!
Here is the entire guest book viewable in 10 parts! This is all UNEDITED.
Except for linked images which I went in and removed because nearly
every comment with a linked image no longer existed (it's been over 14 years).
