I've thought that this might be a good way to record my beloved vinyls in order to preserve whatever value my vinyls have left. Does anyone have it and for that matter, would it be a good buy? Thanks in advance, Tera I've had a CD recorder in my computer for just under a year now, and I love it. It is both cheaper and more versatile than the stand alone models, but it can be a bit difficult to get up and running properly, depending on your skill and the age/quality of your computer. Although recording vinyl would definetly be easier using a stand alone, recording to hard drive and then cleaning up the song using a sound editing program like Sound Forge gives you a lot more control over the quality. If you want more details, just ask.

William T. Cocke writes: Some of those '70s party/latenite stoner albums saw some hard use. You're telling me? Back in the early and mid-'80s when I was filling in the holes in my prog collection with used vinyl, I'd *constantly* get albums with gatefolds (which is 95% of every prog-rock album ever released, after all...) and stems and seeds still lodged in the inner cracks of the gatefold jacket. What was that Rush collection of their first three albums? "Archives?" Man, the records were in good shape, but that one had burn marks on the jacket and the inside of the gatefold looked like the thing had been sent up in a shipment from Mexico.

Same with American Stars 'N' Bars. Some of those '70s party/latenite stoner albums saw some hard use. And if you do happen to locate a copy of Time Fades that is even playable, you then have to decide if you want to have the insert that originally came with it. It was about 20" x 30" and included all the lyrics in longhand (just like After the Goldrush). I never really thought about it before, but I have to admit, I haven't seen too many copies of this one hanging around, so the copy I found (with insert) for about 5 bucks now seems like a gift from the gods. BTW: Has anyone ever seen a vinyl copy of Ragged Glory that WASN'T an import?? Been wondering. Lance . . .

Jerry Currey writes: Now, I must admit, I had to look up Pallas. Never heard of those guys. British prog-rock band of the early/mid-'80s; probably second only to Marillion in terms of popularity in the rather anemic prog revival that took place in the U.K. around that time. I know of at least one album by them, though I think there might have been a second. They sounded quite a bit like a cross between "Relayer"-era Yes mixed with the Moody Blues. --Jon Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wollaston, Massachusetts

Jerry "chuck it" Curry says: You make a valid point, Mr. Cocke.but I need the room. I'm going to ditch every last bit of it, once I move to another media. Probably 75% of my CD collection is destined to be sold as well. Consolidation, my friend. I'll scan the covers and the liner notes and that's that. I hope. Wow. Although in one way I'm drawn to that vision of minimal physical possessions, I know I'll never achieve it because I love them as artifacts as well as for their content.

Re: neil's steel/used vinyl
HA! I'm still laughing at Dina's presumption that I had a sudden urge for minimalist living. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't want to start a pissing contest where I offer a total number of my vinyl, books, CD's, and musical instruments. I just quite frankly don't have enough room for all of my stuff and still try to afford a house. So, I'm making contingencies.

Reply to: RE: neil's steel It's Ben Keith. In fact, I don't know that Neil has used another steel player other than Ben. Of course, why would you want to Keith is terrific. Simple, yet evocative parts. He's kind of the Mark Knopfler of the steel guitar world.

That would be Ben Keith who has provided some particularly melancholy steel guitar over the years on most of Neil's recordings.

Re: neil's steel
Excerpts from internet.listserv.postcard2: 3-Feb-99 RE: neil's steel by "Walker, Jason"@acp.com. I'd hafta say that I reckon "Tonight's The Night" is the greatest rock album ever - it's red-eyed, wrecked, hungover, loud, soft, melancholy, drug-fu**ed and beautiful. If there is a better rock album out there, I ain't heard it yet. It's an excellent album, but I wouldn't even call it my favorite Neil Young album. On the Beach has that honor, and I hope Young Reprise see fit to reissue it on CD soon. Carl Z.

Re: neil's steel
Son Volt, incidentally, do a killer version of "Let's Go DownTown..." Or they used to. All this Del-Vetts/Stooges stuff is fine, but I'd much rather see them put that, or "Aint No More Cane", back into their repertoire of encores... Stevie
