| So whats your favorite music themed movie? BLOWUP !!! Score by Herbie Hancock, but that Yardbirds' performance really took the cake. | |
| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? ... sadly also rather more expensive. This is a second system and I'm working on a budget, I'm afraid. Nevertheless, thanks for the information. | |
| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? Hi Larryken, thanks for your words of warning, I'd probably go through the Dutch distributor/dealer, but then of course I'd be restricted to Mk III, hence my question | |

| Great Jack Bruce Albums,which ones? Songs For A Taylor(the single song that tears me apart, however, is Folk Song from the album Harmony Row, endlessly sad and achingly beautiful...)Also: Live at the BBC (go for the triple CD release), and for something completely different, check o... | |
