Well, I completely disagree that the later efforts are "dull", but I
do agree that the first two albums are much more interesting.  Of course,
that just might have something to do with the fact that the first two
were produced by Alan Parsons.  Anyone else notice the similarities in
"feel", for lack of a better word, between Ambrosia's first two albums
and "I Robot" and "Tales of Mystery and Imagination"?

I've read that WD-40 is not the best choice for this sort of
application.  It contains both highly-volatile petroleum fractions (to
help it penetrate stuck mechanisms) and heavier, more-viscous fractions.
Over time, the ligher fractions evaporate; the heavier ones remain
behind, but may eventually become somewhat gummy.

For proper lubrication of delicate mechanisms, I'd recommend something
like watchmaker's oil or instrument oil - these are highly-refined
lubricants (single-grade, I believe, rather than being mixtures of
several different oils).  They don't evaporate or get gummy.

Sewing-machine oil would probably be effective (and is easier to find).
Or, try one of the high-tech lubricants containing Teflon in a light
machine-oil base.

New York - - Lou Reed

Never seen the graphics part, though.  I hear that it shows stuff like
guitar chords and lyrics as the song plays.  Kinda cook, mostly useless.

Guadalcanal Diary has at released *at least*
Walking in the Shadow of [a||the] Big Man
Jamboree
2x4
Flip-Flop

I've heard none are being produced on CD anymore, although I believe
Noteworthy still has Flip-Flop.  Also, a friend of mine in Atlanta
has said he has a cassette of rare (small 1st release?) stuff, but I
know nothing about it.

I know that Jeff had been working with Hillbilly Frankenstien after
GD's vacation began.  At a bar I overheard small talk about Murray
still doing some on-the-side work.  (Didn't he mess around with the
Golden Palominoes for a while?)  I'm almost sure Rhett had a baby.

Probably many misspellings above.  Roll with it.

It is indeed a bootleg, but Italian law lacks, so the small 'stamp' (SIAE or
so) makes it legal. I found some of them around regular shops here in Holland

About the official CD's:
cd vol. 1 subtitled 'the shorts'.
vol. 2 (forthcoming) subtitled 'the longs' (or so)
the 2nd ontains musical box/firth of fifth/dominoes/...
the better part of the show !!

Hey...

Ive been trying to find some CD's that are sort of rare...I know what label
they are on, and you know how Cd's/tapes etc. have that little note saying
manufactured and marketed , with the record label and an address?? Well the
label that the CD's are on(as of a lot of other labels) are in Manhattan NY,
and I was just wondering could I possibly go to the address, and hope to find
out how to get these CD's, or is this just like an executive office, not really
open to the public?? I guess the other option is to write letters to these
addresses, and hope for a response, but I was just hoping that rather than
waiting for them to get around to my petty requests, and *hoping* that they
respond, Id rather just go to the address since Ill be in the area...Anyone
know about this, also does anyone have any type of  addresses/phone numbers
of places that order rare CD's just in case none of the rest work?? Its not
so much as these are rare CD's, but they were released overseas....Oh, and a
question about CD's released overseas, which are also released on US labels..
Particularly Big Life, which are based in Manhattan but usually are crosslisted
with overseas labels...Is it possible to get info from the US labels, or would
I have to contact the overseas label???
                                                       THanks 4 any info..

A little lubrication is maybe a good thing, however I would recommmend
going to a fabric store and buying some sewing machine oil.  WD-40 is
not intended as a lubricant.  Sewing machine oil is fine grade of machine
lubricant and it comes in small quantities so you don't have a lot of extra
when you're done.

The only thing I can think of as to why the vendor was selling them that way
is that he used them or  something and then since no one would buy something
like that for full price, you got them for half...If the artwork was included,
and the jewelboxes were sealed in plastic still, then I would have said that 
they are trying to recycle or something...I just bought Sade's CD, for $8 and
it was brand new, still in plastic, and sealed with that Sony hologram sticker.

Why didntya just ask the vendor??!! *smile*

He has Dream Sequence @ $32.95. He lists it as a German import

Heh heh.

I've been storing them at 56.3 degrees which is Brewster's angle for the

Interesting, I'm a member at Columbia House and literally, haven't said
a damn thing to them in 9-12 months.  What happened?  Well, the latest
mailing had a neat little attachment indicating that instead of buy 1 CD,
get 1 for 1/2 price, I was now up to level 2, which meant buy 1 CD, get
1 for $5.99.  If I purchase 2 CDs (at full price, I assume), I move to
level 3, which is buy 1 CD, get 1 for $3.99.  I haven't entirely done the
math, but it sounds pretty decent to me.  Better than anything I've gotten
in the past.  Just nowdays, it's so much easier, and sometimes cheaper,
to buy at the local CD shop, rather than wait for Columbia House to pick
up the latest.  Oh well, I'll review their catalog and see if there's
anything I want.  Maybe if I'm silent for much longer, I'll automatically
make level 3 :-)

I know for sure that the CD-ROM player for the Turbographix-16 video game

I also know of a friend who has displayed CD+G's on his Amiga, but I'm not
