ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ...
I sold more hifi gear playing that Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds recording than any other back when I did such things. People would flock to the system just to listen and stay there when playing. I bought it on a whim when it came out and was playing in some record shop whose name I don’t recall somewhere near Wilmington DE. |
Your question really takes me back. Been so long, kinda almost forgot there was even a time I was caught up in such things. If you would have asked me then I probably would have had a conventional answer. Now though its hard even to imagine going to a store where they would have even one component I was interested in, let alone two, and that they would have speakers I own is beyond fantasy. So the straightest answer I can give is I wouldn't bring a CD. Don't need a CD. Would listen to whatever they have. Seriously. So totally last millennium. |
millercarbon By your explanation, you completely fail to grasp the question: it is not about the equipment, it is about your experiencial worth to others to expand their musical data. Now of course you can choose to not participate in 2 ways: the first is what you have done, and the 2nd is to just remain silent... So either press yourself to reply in a helpful manner or piss off... Maybe this is something too difficult for you to do? I say the above respectfully because you have contributed with other forums I have started and your opinion, when on topic, is greatly appreciated. But none of us gives a rats ass if you're not in the same boat as us or just chooses to be surly so you can corrupt a reasonable question... Again: thanks to all responding and aiding me in expanding my musical experiences... |

Of course when you play WOTW for friends they are amazed, and as you say, it keeps casual listeners attention longer than typical. However, the comment I remember best was from a friend of a friend. My friend and I were into it, and his friend walks into the room, hears just a few secs Mars Death Ray sounds , says "What is this, Rawhide?" and walks out. Are you old enough to remember it, the part where he slowly and drawn out repeats Rawhide a few times. Ohh Wah... Ohh Wah Raw hide .. Raw hide Funny and memorable. https://www.google.com/search?q=rawhide+theme+song&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS881US881&oq=rawhide+theme+song&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j46j0l4j46j0.8246j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 |
