Subject: broken CD player fixable?

Hello:

I have a TEAC CD player (component, not portable) that has this problem:
you have to push twice on the "close" or "play" button in order for the
door to shut; after it closes there is a brief whir (the CD does not
spin--I've checked) and then the player spits the CD out again.

My question: does this sound like a mechanical or a logic problem? Seems
to me something is wrong with the logic circuitry--it is confused and
doesn't realize that there is a disk  in the player when in fact there is.
If the problem is mechanical, there is some chance that I might be able
to fix the player, but if the problem is any more sophisticated, I might
as well just throw the player out and buy another one.

Thanks for any info you can give.

Ken

Hi,

   I'm a big fan of Falco and Sandra, and I'm trying to get hold
of some of their CD-singles and cassingles, that I can't get in
Australia or the US.  I'm looking for someone in europe who may 
know of some singles by these 2 artists.

    I noticed that Falco has a single at number 7 in the Austrian
charts, does anybody of any impending US or Australian release of this
single?

Any help will be appreciated,
Paul.

Get out yer checkbook.  That song is on it.

Things that I know that aren't on it:

"Suspicion" by Viv Stanshall and his Gargantuan Chums - humorous cover of
the old Elvis tune.  This was released on the RHINO Best of the Bonzos CD,
but not the EMI "BESTiality of the Bonzos"

"Waterloo"??  I'm not even sure of the title of this.  It was on an old
tape that (I think) was of their Best of the Bonzos double lp.

Lyrical snippets:

"We made a date to meet at Waterloo station
 The agency assured me you'd be there
 ... 
 ...

 It was no surprise to find that you were a pygmy
 ..."

Was this also a solo project?  does anyone else know anything about it?


Since I'm spouting lyrics, the 3CD set does contain "Labio-Dental
Fricative" by Vivian Stanshall and his (silly backup band name that I can't
recall):

"Cannibal chiefs chew camembert cheese
 Cause chewing keeps them cheeky
 
 Big fat Fred sticks furs to his head
 Because he thinks fur makes him freaky

 Benjamin bland and his bugle band
 Blowing blues bi-weekly

 How many pies can a porpoise poise
 On purpose if she pleases?"

Paul McCartney wrote a song called "C Moon", which was apparently a take off
on this - instead of square (print an L and a 7 close together) I guess he
was implying that he was circular.

(He also actually co-wrote the song in the last line of that sig, but I
guess you have a right to prefer Tiffany's (per)version...)

Actually, Sam has at least four records before "The Indescribable Wow",
all of them under the name of Leslie Phillips.  Leslie was a fairly
popular christian singer, met T-Bone, and went a different musical route.
Recollections is a collection (no, really?) of her earlier music, 
including a few cuts from "The Turning."  Christian music stores sometimes
have Leslie's work, but since they are all cut-outs, they are rare.  I have
both "The Turning" and "Recollections" on CD.  If any one wants them, Long's
in Florida (I believe) is a good start.  Also, if you really want music
store leads for Leslie, subscribe to rec.music.christian.

Yeah...the Brit. ska band The Beat (Mirror in the Bathroom was their big hit I
think) was known as the English Beat in the US to avoid confusion with a 
US national act of the same name...

That's the only one I can think of...

I listened to the albums a couple of times when my sister shoved
them in my face, but they didn't do anything much for me.  They
were okay, but nothing to jump up and down about.  But then i 
saw them in concert in a little place here and i was completely
blown away with the show.  I heartily recommend their live shows
to anyone, even if you were only lukewarm about their albums.  I
would describe them as something like the Pogues meets Faith No
More with a great fiddler thrown in for good measure.

BTW, the album still doesn't really thrill me, but i would go
see them again in an instant.  Highlight of the show was a super-
charged version of "Devil Went Down to Georgia" (you all know
that song, admit it) and a ten minute jam of one of their songs
involving a didjeridoo (sp?) and extra percussionists going
absolutely wild.
