| "magic" stampers? Drifting off topic a bit, but what the hell. Groovey, I can picture Murry's attic room.Mick Taylor left the band after "It's Only Rock and Roll" but he left behind a legacy of beautiful guitar work, the solo on "Time Waits for No One" among the cr... | |
| Best way to clean CD player lens? In the Sony Service manual for your unit they recommend that the ONLY way to clean the lens is with compressed air. I have the same unit as you and I have the Service Manual.Regards, | |
