Are these recording really rare? I think so the one you heard was a mastercopy I recieved from SAMCo in 1991 I'm sure I have almost all of the Hot line recording on tape somewhere ? Is it worth me trying to find them in amongst my several tons of junk. It would be fantastic if you still have those recordings and it certainly is worth the trouble to go look for them ! Edwin OK, I'm not making any promises but I'm fairly sure they weren't erased or thrown away. So I'll start digging around my junk pile as soon as I get a spare moment. They are not originals but I recorded them from the telephone while calling the hot-line but if I remember correctly the quality wasn't bad. Ian

At the time these "Hot lines" exixsts I never had heard about. So it would be a fine thing to give this to the public as a view to the past. If you can do it I would be very pleased and I am sure a lot of other ones are interested in it. If you want I come along to help you to sort the tons of your stuff out ;-) Thanks Wolfgang but I think I'm the only one who could go in there and come out alive :-) Ian Wolfgang Ian Spencer schrieb: Colin included a recording from one weeks news on the latest Sam Revival CD.

Sam Coupe Hot-Line Update
Well some good news I've found the first tape which covers the period Aug89 to Feb90. This was the earliest phase of the hot-line and covers the period before the first shipments in December and beyond. It was fascinating to hear again the problems with the main board, the change of graphics from 64 to 128 colours and the Heathrow warehouse fire where the first keyboards were stored.. I'm busy cleaning it up no it's not going to be hi-fi and then I'll put it up on my website or somewhere suitable as soon as I can. Ian
