Brian May and Eddie Van Halen jam on the theme song of a British children's
TV show.  That particular track is cool (although Eddie outshines
Brian in this case), but the rest of it is indeed pretty uninspired.
The liner notes say Brian never intended to release it at all, but was
talked into it.

Actually, this is the main reason I started this thread.  The two discs I
mentioned sound real bad when I put them in my 5 disc player along with
other discs.  They are just SO quiet.  (BTW, it was _712_ from Shonen
Knife not _720_ like I mentioned)

I would love a CD player like the one mentioned above - but why oh why do
they limit the amount of discs it can remember.  Memory is so cheap these
days it doesn't make much sense.  (A more reasonable amount would be 1024
discs or more.)

Hi I am interested in buying a CD player with cassette deck(s). My budget
is about $400-500. I looked into an AIWA NSX330 system. Does anyone
give me some idea about aiwa systems. Besides quality, I am also interested
in aiwa systems because they come with both 110 and 220 Volts and I want
to use it in both systems. Any other suggestions. My e-mail address is

        I didn't catch the beginning of this thread, so please ignore if I am
redundant.

        Shabba Ranks is growing substantially in popularity now that he is
being pushed by Columbia.  His is the "dance hall reggae" style, and the
_As_Raw_as_Ever_ album is definitely worth a listen.  Also recommended are the
radio interview CD _Rawer_than_Ever:_An_Interview_with_KRS-1_ and the _Trailor_
_[sic]_Load_a_Girls_ CD single, if you can find them.  He has a new CD out
called _Extra_Naked_; I have heard only the title track, and it's pretty good.

        Some of the Adrian Sherwood/On-U stuff is pretty good reggae.  You
might want to get a copy of _Pay_It_All_Back,_Volume_Two_, which has lots of
good songs on it.

        On a related note, Atlantic Records has a new series of old '60s ska
hits.  Volume 1 is superb.  Buy it.  Dunno about the others.

        Check out Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Lee Perry, Yellowman, Coca Tea,
Shinehead, Eek-a-Mouse, and Prince Far I if you get the chance.

If they're new -- as in new releases, and not old stuff or overstock
that's been cut out -- they're probably promo copies that have fallen into
the hands of the store selling them.  You'll find them with holes drilled
in the jewel case, holes punched through the booklet or UPC code, and even
with "PROMOTIONAL" stamped onto the disc itself.  (They do this so people
can't return them to the record company for credit.)  Otherwise they're
identical to every other copy you'll find.  Someone along the line got
them for free and made a tidy profit, though. 

On several occasions I've found and bought promo discs for albums that
haven't even been commercially released yet.  It's nice if you can find a
store that gets a steady stream of this stuff . . .

The second single came out a week after the first, and lucky you, you get
to buy it separately -- a practice which isn't new but which is suddenly
becoming sickeningly popular, especially in the UK.  I don't know which is
worse, having to buy *two* singles at import prices, or the fact that a

John Peel Sessions. Genesis is included. Any idea where I could obtain a

CD.  I (probably like many others) have been impatiently waiting for the

I heard, somebody got the rights and were going to re-release the albums.
Anybody got the scoop?  Yes I know about the Ryko "Greatest..Vol 2" and the

Probably most people who are interested know that Todd took over production

But, Vangelis did rescore most of the Director's Cut the way that he wanted
to do it in the first place, so there could be the possiblity of him allowing
it to be released now.  I have also heard a lot about Vangelis not liking
Ridley anymore after Bladerunner was released the first time, but I guess that
this attitude has changed since he worked with him again for 1492.

Hopefully, both of these soundtracks, if they come out, will be completely
digital recording.

	For people who are buying CDs as a medium for the music rather than for
the physical disc this should not pose any problem. In less than 18 years it
is a very safe bet that mass (computer) memory will be so very cheap that
a small consumer electronics box will be able to hold all the precious music
data from hundreds of CDs and thus make the actual playing of CDs directly
unnecesary.
	There should be no copyright problem either since I'm sure the record
companies would much rather you did this instead of taking them to court for
selling an unreliable medium.
	Don't worry digital storage will come up with the goods...

Yes, they were released long time ago.  I believe Empire Strikes Back is available on several versions, including the original soundtrack and the Dolby Surround version (Star Wars is probably available in several versions as well.)

A Swedish newspaper recently said that MeatLoaf will release a single
