Just get it, at that price how can you lose?

Defintely. Steel Mills closing, a deceptive tax cut (48 cents a person will
"rescue" the economy), high unemployment, a new Bush recession...it's the
past all right.

I forgot to mention that cassettes were also compressed, even more than
albums because they can only handle 35 dbs.

In a better place, if you ask me (see, if I believe something it applies to
all). And isn't that what Pete was saying with I'm Free? One of the things,
I mean. That's how I read it, as the moneylenders and sellers were thrown
out of the temple in the New Testament, and "Messiahs pointed to the door"
as Townshend saying that the established religions are so corrupt at this
point that you're better off on your own, with a one-on-one relationship
with the Big G. Leave the established religions and seek your own spiritual
enlightenment. And so I personally believe as well. So the Dead Sea Scrolls
reportedly said (although curiously they've been surpressed by the Catholic
Church).
PS: I'm definitely not a Democrat. Never have been.

If Rock And Roll Creation isn't a hit on The Who, I don't know what is...it
even has the WGFA synth piece in it.

If this is true, I volunteer my services in any way. I can make CD copies, I
can upgrade the sound if needed. Jeff here can attest to my skills in this
arena, and I'll be more than happy to submit samples for your consideration.
And, if it needs to be said, my main drive is the preservation of historic
Who material.
