   Never heard of it. Not likely to bother.   
      
      
    C> In 1971 (more of us around then?) the #1 song was "Joy To   
    C> The World" by Three Dog Night   
      
   Now, THAT was a favourite of mine.

   Very nice. I have about 1100 LPs.

   That's too bad.  I took great pains to preserve my LPs.  I     
   bought extra onion-paper sleeves and replaced the typical     
   factory paper versions.

   Hmmm..  genuine vs print wouldn't have made a difference from     
   the point of view of an audience.   
      
      
    C> What are your musical memories?   
      
    C> I love the era from '67 to '86 best, I'd say. . . Before   
    C> was too bubble gum-y, & after became too new age-y & pop-y   
      
   I dunno.. I have favourites across all the different decades.
