Haven't heard it myself though.BTW Chiho, if you think your DNA-... | |
| vintage record albums You could post a few of the ones you suspect might be worth something here and responders could try to advise you from their own experience and published resources. As far as I know there is no way to use the web to figure out what stuff is really... | |
