Nope, Thats not the problem I've got. The CD has the label on it of MADNESS,
and something totally different that I don't recognise (neithe do any of my

I have the two remote controls to the Kenwood dpc-721 and the dpc-321.  One
is a standard cordless remote, and the other is a remote that plugs in to the
headphone jack.  Let me know if you are interested..

I beg to differ -- I have it on CD.  Zarjazz JZCD2.  It may be out of print
now, but it was definitely available on disc when it was first released in
the UK.

I know that they're round inside the square plastic. I'm talking about
the whole thing taken as a whole unit. But I noticed an exception to
this since the MD is labeled as 'MiniDisc'.

I am shopping for a CD changer. But reluctant to pay the premium for the
high price model and need your opinion.

I remember some time ago in Stereo Review magazine that the sound quality
in different CD is mininal, so a $199 changer will sound almost as good as
any $499 ones, the feature might be less, but as far as sound goes, they
are about the same, is this true?

Reply  will be really appreciated.

I am unaware of any stated reasons, but I suppose it due to a combination
of the following:

1) Despite the title, it has almost nothing to do with the movie [which
   just happens to be amoung the absolute worst movies ever made]. The
   original LP came out due the the legal necessity of suppling a sound-
   track album for the movie. With that commitment fulfilled, any further
   unnecessary association with the Rainbow Bridge movie is probably not
   looked upon favorably.
2) The album was put together under Michael Jefferey, not Alan Douglas,
   the current estate musical director. Thus it suffers from "not made
   here" syndrome.
3) I seem to recall Rainbow Bridge was deleted from the label to make room
   for _9 to the Universe_. That one hasn't shown up on CD either [but IMO,
   unlike RB, its no great loss].
4) [insert disparaging remark about Alan Douglas's control of the Hendrix
   music legacy here]

The reissue of Numbers With Wings and Beat Hotel doesn't necessarily
portend any additional reissues. NWW and BH were both issued by RCA
(with whom Razor and Tie made a licensing agreement). Nuts and Bolts
was issued through the now-defunct Jem Records. I believe the same
applies to Drums Along the Hudson, though I'd have to check to be sure.
At any rate, completely separate licensing arrangements would have to
be worked out for this material. And from what I hear, most of the
material controlled by Jem is still entangled by a myriad of lawsuits.

Call Spindle Records, 613-228-0001.  They're a Canadian-based (Ottawa
I think) music store that will mail order to the U.S.  They frequently 
advertise in Goldmine.  Recently they were offering the Lightfoot set
for $34.99 (US) which is a better price than I've seen in the local import
stores I frequent.  I've ordered from Spindle Records and find them to be
reliable.

This is not a problem.  Not all CDs are "eq"ed to the same level.  Classical
music, in particular, demands a greater dynamic range that the CD format
graciously provides.  This means that the volume for needed to produce the 
"medium" level sound is push further to the "right" (if you can visualize this
on a graph).  Thus you need to turn the volume up to produce a sound level that
you would expect to be "medium".  Be warned this tends to make the "louds" very
loud, but this is desirable in most music, as then the "softs" are audible.

Hi Paul,

I'm in Norway, and I wonder would you like to send these two sets there.
I will pay the shipping cost (but first I'd like to know how much will
it be). There's one thing I'm concerned. In the USA the Beatles LPs had
different songs comparing to English versions. I'd like to have only
original English versions. If you could let me know the contents of one
of the key discs (e.g. Rubber Soul which was definitely different in the
USA), I would be able to determine are they English or American
versions.

If it's OK for you just let me know (the best if you E-mail me your
phone number so I can call you directly).

Best regards

Vagif.

(gee, I can feel the heat being turned up as I compose this repsonse... :) )

Well, if I say "yes, they sound the same", the next person might well complain
that my ears need to be replaced. If I say "no, there's a difference" then
someone may think I'm a 'nutty audiophile'. So how do I win? I cheat...

Here's my advice: pull together a handful of discs, some of everything you
might listen to on the player. Go to a dealer (or a few dealers) with the discs
and ask to audition a few players. Try to match your home system as closely
as possible (speakers, amplifier, etc.) In the end, you're going to have to pay
for the changer and listen to it for however long it lasts, so trust your own
ears and wallet. :)

At that speed, it would've taken almost an hour to download.
Is it 1) legal 2) possible for anyone willing to post

As well, am I right in thinking that the files are not actually

Anyway, this isn't really that uncommon.  I can remember LPs that were
this way.

My favorite CD "bug" is on one of the Front 242 CDs (I think it's
"Tyranny, For You").  The last track's time is too long, so you end
up with 11 minutes of silence after the music ends.  Best of all,
it's a Sony(tm, probably).

which They Might Be Giants album are you talking about?

if it's Apollo 18, the tracks you are talking about are all collectivly
called "Fingertips", and there are 20 of them.  most of them are less
than a minute or so.  if you look at the listing on the back of the
case, the listing goes:
16 Hypnotist Of Ladies
17 Fingertips
38 Space Suit

they are intended to be separate tracks, and there is even a reference
to them in the liner notes.  
"The indexing of this disc is designed to complement the Shuffle Mode of
modern CD players."
that way, when the player is jumping around randomly from track to
track, you get a little snippet of an almost-song between the
full-length songs.

of course, if it's a different TMBG disc you are talking about, you
prolly have a defective disc.

I don't know if they are still being manufactured or not, but the "professional"Panasonic DJ CD players have/had a variable pitch control on 'em. Beasts ran
around US$1200.00 list. I know, at one time, that J&R Music World sold them.
They also could be cued to the very beginning of a track, had ultra-stable
transports (for them boomy-bass situations), could be synched to another unit,
etc, etc. Neat units, if you could justify the cost!
