Wow!  No more than 30 seconds after I ask about a comparison between Mobile
Fidelity's QUAD and the new version before someone posts a response.  I'm
impressed.  But someone else is napping out there because 90 seconds have
gone by and I've yet to get an answer to my question about Rhino's reissues
of John's albums.

On another topic, if WW1 does announce a broadcast of Quad, I'd like to set
up a trade in advance with anyone taping it.  Out here in the wilds of
Southern Ilinois we lack a decent radio station but I'll need that tape.
I've got a fair selection of Who & Townshend material to trade, so e-mail
me if you're interested.  Thanks.
