The Rolling Stones and Velvet Underground are amongst the latest artists to have recordings submitted for preservation by the US Library of Congress, with 'Velvet Underground & Nico' and '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' being selected. Other music acts whose tracks have made it into the collection this time include Carl Perkins with 'Blue Suede Shoes', Paul Simon with 'Graceland' and The Ronettes with 'Be My Baby'. No news on how Phil Spector feels about that last one.
Recordings selected for submission aren't just of music, of course - former US president Franklin D Roosevelt's 1941 speech declaring war on Japan is also being submitted this time.
