Actually join BMJ in their 8 for the price of 1/2 special... get your
four free... pay $8 shipping. buy one during their 3 for the price of 1 month.
Pay $9 for the one CD (since it was half-price) and get certificate for
your two free, as well as your certificate for 3 more free for
completing your obligation.  Get your 5 CDs and pay the $11 shipping.
Have yourself join at another address and get 2 free (I think they
charge you for shipping on these buy they didn't used to) and pay the
$5 for shipping.  Leave the club.  So you have...

$8+$9+$11+$5=$33 for 12 CDs.  I have been doing this since 4th
grade it works quite well (with the Cassette equivilant up until
a year or two ago) So I think if you play your cards right you can
come off good, but otherwise they will stick you hard.  I didn't
add up the $.29 each month though so keep that in mind. :)

Tony's been semi-busy lately he's got a new one out called "The Long Road".
His CD's are only available as German imports.

Here's what I have on CD:

Carey, Tony
        I Won't Be Home Tonight - 290-12-001 - Bellaphon - Gmbh - 1982
        Some Tough City - 250 618-2 - MCA - Gmbh - 1984
        Blue Highway - 252 671-2 - MCA - Gmbh - 1985
        Bedtime Story - 243 850-2 - Teldec - Gmbh - 1987
        For You - 841 328-2 - Metronome - Gmbh - 1989
        Storyville - 847 505-2 - Metronome - Gmbh - 1990
        The Long Road - 9031-77029-2 ZP - East West - Gmbh - 1992

He also has another CD out called "The Story So Far", which, I believe is a
compilation of his work previous to 1987. I've seen it, but don't have it, so
am not sure of the date and/or the contents.

I was able to spot two obvious things from one of the listings
("Frampton Comes Alive" was the edited single disc version deleted in
North America for the full set on 2 discs; no Peter Gabriel "Plays
Live") that could be helpful for German disc buyers, and likewise I
was able to pick out about 5 titles for my girlfriend to buy when she
is visiting family in Munich this Christmas ... (she was also able to
find 3 albums for herself, maybe as awards for her intermediate German
class next May if they're in bargain bins ...)

Tony Carey plays keyboards on:

   Rainbow Rising 
   On Stage
   Live in Germany

(The last two live double albums are the ones for Tony Fans to go after,
since the mix sounds like it is off the console (i.e.  Tony in left channel,
Ritchie Blackmore in right, drums and vox center).

   Oh yeah -- he might also show up on some of the compilation
   albums:  _Best of Rainbow_ (merely repeats old standard releases)
            _Finyl Vinyl_ (there's some "previously unreleased" stuff)
      and   _Ritchie Blackmore Collection_ (vol II has some live
                     Rainbow tracks, from the same tour as _On Stage_
                     and _Live in Germany_).

Reply-To: segallis@su1bc.UUCP (greg segallis)
Organization: GCSD CAE Harris Corp.
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1992 18:16:14 GMT

My current full size cd player recently died.  I am trying to decide whether
to get a bare bones, full size, single disc unit or a portable player (the
ones I have found are about the same price - so cost is not an issue).  I
already have a portable that I can take to work, in the car, the garage, etc.
So I really don't need the portability (although it would be nice).  But why
should I give up all that wall unit space for a full size, if a portable is
just as good.

So my questions are this:

1)	Is there any performance difference between a portable and a full
	size (low end full size)?

2)	My old unit specified a dynamic range (signal to noise ratio) of
	somewhere around 92 - 95 dB.  Most of the portables seem to spec only
	about 86 dB.  The 16 bits of the data would theoretically make it
	96 dB (regardless of the unit).  I assume the loss is due to the
	anaolog portion of the d/a converter and amp circuitry?

3)	Is this difference really noticable?

4)	If so, to what degree?

5)	And is the extra space, power, and lack of mobility worth buying a
	full size for this difference?

Thanks,

This looks like the edited, single disc version that appeared as the
first issue of this album on CD.  The entire work is now available on
two CD's here in North America, at least.  (At 80 minutes, there were
rumours of a reissue on a single CD but no such edition has appeared

Peter Gabriel's "Plays Live" with Rick Marotta (drums), Larry Fast

opening David Bowie's 1983-84 "Serious Moonlight" tour is absent from

What are you complaining about?  If a "tamper proof" seal is the price of
getting rid of the long box, I'm not about to complain.  You can't rely on
shrink wrap as proof of virginity, especially in the computer/software field,
most dealers have a shrink wrap machine for restoring demos or returns to
"shrink wrapped" condition.

The little hologram seals can be neatly removed if you pull them off very
slowly, or you can just slit them and leave them in place.  Big deal.

Bzzzzzt!!!! You have the =wrong= pressing of Azure D'Or.
The Thunderbolt pressing is TERRIBLE! Muddy, bass-heavy, treble-shy.
The one to get is the Japanese version on Sire/Warner-Pioneer.

	Yes, this is a re-worked version of Tyger. I don't have the new
one, but I believe that the song 'Tyger' has been re-worked, plus an
additional track by Jerome Froese has been added.
	It's nice to hear that there is more bass on the newer one.
