[Vintage-Audio] Come On Guys!

[peter markavage]

I seem to remember having a bunch of the SQ LP's, a few done in the QS
format, and a bunch done in CD-4. They're hanging out in one of my
closets. Have a bunch of 8-tracks that we use to use at Lafayette as
demos. Not looking to add to the collection. I generally don't spend much
time anymore sitting in front of the hi-fi stuff. When I have free time,
I generally spend it listening to 6 meter static.
