We should be so LUCKY!


Most master tapes of analog recordings deteriorate badly over time, which is 
why you see so many old recordings touted onthe television for sale as 
Remastered Digital recordings of the same material.   

It is believed that the new techniques of Digital will last forever,  
allthough that depends upon who your talking to in the Audio Engineering society.

There certainly is no shortage of source material for re-recording any of 
Elvis hits, as was quickly evidenced 24 hours after his death by his Record label 
and all the TV Marketers.

Heck I have a whole studio full of master tapes I wish sombody would buy by 
the inch for souvenirs.  I wonder if those folks would like to buy them for 
resale once they run out of the originals that they are schlocking now.   It's 
not like anyone is going to try and play them back or would know they are the 
originals with out that littel piece of printed paper attached that tells them 
they are and that they really did not get ripped off.

  For Sale:  $ 50.00 + $10.00 Shipping and handling,  Rush delivery add $5.00 
:  Pet Rock anybody?  A little old but well cared for and preserved for it's 
age, is fond of listening to OKOM music on 78 rpm records.  

I will put mine right alongside the genuine dust from the Mt. St. Helen's 
volcano eruption,
I also have some ash from Mt. Vesuvio's Eruption as well I could part with.

Cheers,
