Aye... I have a double cd of them and the first disc is material they did as The Gaylords. Have Junior Campbell's solo album " Second Time Around" which includes his two hits "Hallelujah Freed" and "Sweet Inspiration". Here he is playing his Strat upside down:

Just mentioned on the news that Dean Ford lead singer of The Marmalade has died at 74. Had a number of hits in the 60s including these two. Loved the backwards guitar on the classic Reflections If My Life.

Done a search on eBay for SACD Hybrid and found nearly 3,800. Mostly classical and some for as little as about £5. Got a Poco 2on1 Cantamos & Seven for about £13.70. On a label called Vocalion. Use quadraphonic mixes. The seller has 33 sacd titles including the likes of Billy Paul, Deodata, Art Garfunkel, Weather Report. Some interesting standard cd titles if a bit of mood music is your thing, including the likes of Hugo Montenegro, Percy Faith, Syd Dale, Paul Mauriat. ebay.co.uk/itm/401559830503A review from a pleased US buyer:

Opera: To each their own.
I've tried with/without the ad blocker and don't get your issue.

Give Opera or Opera Mini browsers a try. I like Mini and have been using it for years on mobiles. They have built-in ad blockers which can be turned on or off. Never have problems with ads when it's on. Couldn't believe the number of ads on AOS when I disabled it.
Have Chrome too but use Mini most of the time.

What really sad news.
I will always remember him as Deputy Editor of Hi-Fi Answers/The Audiophile. He always seemed to do his own thing. I remember him using an Audio Technica Soundburger in the office, which he showed in his profile picture in the Q & A section for a while. He was, of course, really enthusiastic about The Rock turntable, which was his preferred deck.
Either last year, or the year before, I did a search for him, wondering what he might be doing. I found a profile and learned he was still committed to vinyl, and The Rock turntable - and Pioneer. I did think he looked a bit frail.
Really sad news.

Tim. Tim. The older I get, (61) the less I feel I know about anything. I'm not an out-and-out zealous believer - or an out-and-out skeptic; I just have an open mind.
The list offered are regarded as such simply because off their training/job and their use of logic and reason. A pilot could judge the speed of the "phenomena" he is following more accurately than anyone on the ground watching it.
Evidence? Haven't you watched the link? Try it. What have you got to lose? The "phenomena" he talks about lasted over a protracted period of time and was witnessed by numerous individuals including 4 TV crews from around the world. Read anything by Timothy Good. I can't see you wanting to wade through YouTube and separating the idiotic from the creditable. If you're willing to have an open mind, I'd say there's plenty of "evidence", if you have an open mind.
Here's Buzz Aldrin. y'know, him that went to the moon. You can dismiss all but the first 33 seconds, if you want (it's only 3.52 in total):
Expert witness?
I would imagine you regard Lee Harvey Oswald as being responsible for the JFK assassination - the greatest of all conspiracies! No doubt you don't think there is creditable "evidence" to the contrary.

The average person might view individuals with a belief in UFOs as a tad deranged. But what they fail to grasp is the mountain of evidence from "expert witnesses" including police, army, navy, airforce, commercial pilots, test pilots, high-ranking navel intelligence and others.
One such individual is Bob Oechsler. His particular expertise is in robotic systems. He did work for NASA on the design of the robotic arm used in the space shuttle to deploy payloads. Not someone you'd readily put in the "nutter" category. Here are some of his observations. Audio's not the best:

It's still the most powerful (early launches caused damage to buildings 3 miles away) and successful rocket ever built with no fatalities or loss of payload.
I had the Airfix model and the Lunar Landing Module.

Interesting.
Nearly forgot. The Saturn V was the culmination of work done by German engineers the US took to the USA after WW2 in Operation Paperclip and headed by Werner Von Braun, responsible for the V1/2. An absolutely awesome feat of engineering.

Anyone listen to it?
Discovered it recently when trying a radio app Simple Radio that I finally got round to trying on my mobile and the sound quality caught my ear. Tried listening from the website but thought the app sounded better. Been listening today and discovered Harry Manx and Tom Rigney, amongst others.
Couldn't find "A Single Spark" on YouTube, which is what was played, of decent quality, so here's something else:

System is the key word. It's also why bake-offs of one type of component are of limited usefulness in my opinion. Howa man Chris! We all know. We all know, the real merit of bakeoffs is in their effectiveness in creating havoc on forums. And a fine job they do too.

Signal was lost and I refreshed the page.
5G on the horizon. Much faster broadband speed. A film taking 8 seconds to download. Has a latency (speed of data delivery) of 1millisecond, compared to the brain's 250, apparently.
