Perhaps not esoteric or "fringe" but the Chester and Lester album can bring pleasure
I own the record but not much interested in the content. All the songs seem to sound the same and I dislike the banter between Chester and Lester.  
Have you ever been blocked by an E seller here?
@mahler123............I am the original poster and in no way was I whining or complaining. I was simply asking if I was the only one. However, I have learned one thing and that is to stay away from anything you may be selling. If you have nothing ...

Erik...……..I am just wondering, is there something specific?  I have been a reader of that magazine since the mid 80's , so I am curious.  I know that a former reviewer tried to make a profit off of his "demo equipment".  While I am sure that they...

Deep Purple, "Machine Head"Deep Purple, "Made In Japan"      Both on vinyl.Thanks Uber.  Waters can be an acquired taste.  Took me 3 years before I could really like it.  Love both Radio KAOS and Hitchhikers, but absolutely hate "Is This The Life ...

@eric_squires...………….I believe what you said regarding TAS, they are the worst.  Stereophile?  The former editor John Atkinson has more integrity than most all of the other magazines combined.  What reason do you have for saying that?
