How many different ones are there??
At the moment there are only 14 Lamelles, each tuned in a different way.


Introducing the band...

Jeff Beck on guitar
Herbie Flowers on bass
Ginger Baker on drums
Boris Blank on keyboards
Miracle Mile on Lamelle

And make some noise (!) for our guest vocalist...
Funny you've choosen Herbie flowers to play the bass; He was the bass player from Curved Air and later on he played bass and tuba at SKY.
SKY was a typical (and rather dull) late seventies rock/pop ensemble playing some classical works in poppy style.

We left our guest vocalst behind in the tourbus with a bottle of whiskey during the gig.

Something else?

You decide.

Coconut Audio ("Your Audio Journey Ends Here" - yeah, right) is run by a crazy Swede who called himself Patrick83, and managed to get himself banned from Head-Fi. Oh, did I mention that he's crazy? At his prices, it's more crazy like a fox.

Does anyone remember CDV?

http://www.cdvideo.info/

I found some old photos of a couple of discs that I once owned. From memory, the gold surface colour was indeed vivid and the sound quality of the audio was really rather good too.

The two examples below were bought for pennies (literally) around ten years ago. I sold them and a handful of other titles a little while back. At one point, those New Order CDVs were selling for £50.

LaserDisc players never really took off over here in the same way that they did in the US. I didn't get a chance to watch the video content on any of my discs. It is nonetheless, an interesting format, albeit mostly forgotten today.

Cool, Daren. I'm no stranger to CDV or laserdisc. I have my Pioneer laserdisc player connected to my AV entertainment system. I watch the odd movie and music concert on LD, but I'm not sure where I stashed the CDVs.

That's big price #s for CDVs in demand.

Strong, Rough, Aggressive....

Glad I still have some of the first edition from 1981:

The very first edition of the famous RUDE cymbals by Paiste, 33 years old and vintage now.


Strong, Rough, Agressive... (but most of all very Expensive..)
