Speaking of The Fall on CD. I have a Fall CD (one of VERY many), which actually jumps! Well, the CD doesn't skip, the tracks jump! It was obviously mastered from the vinyl version of the album, and whoever did it, wasn't listening to the damn thing when he did it. The LP jumps, so the CD recording does! Can't remember which CD it is off hand - but it's either "Fall in a Hole" or "A Part of America Therein". I was going to return it to the shop, but the problem would have been on all copies of the CD, and it seemed to me that they would be unlikely to get the recording sorted out properly, so I hung on to the one I had. RJH I have the CD-Rom "Free-speech..." as, I assume, many of us do - I think it's still available. In fact, it was produced by one of the list members. To be honest though - the video is a much better thing to purchase. It sounds far better! It is more expensive (is it still #30?), but it is worth the extra. I often play it - with the sound routed through the hi-hi, but hardly ever play the CD-Rom.
