    well I'm glad you asked......I bought it about 3 weeks before I left
    the UK and think its absolutely excellent.In fact,I	heard the song
    "sucker punch" on WAAF this morning and it brought back how good it
    was.But since I don't have a cd player,I can't hear it! 8(
      The main song writer used to be in a band called "The Quireboys" who
    also were very good.

1014.4GOES11::HOUSEAren't you glad I asked?Tue Jun 07 1994 19:176
    How much trouble does it take to buy a lousy CD player?  Get out the
    crowbar and pry open that wallet of yours and go buy something!  Don't
    forget to cover your face with a hanky first to protect against the
    ensuing dust...

    The last one I bought, a used portable, cost me $40.  Not the most
    modern unit, but it was in excellent condition and works great.

    I've been to a lot of places and they don't have what I want!I don't
    want a multi player model but I do want Technics!The only model I found
    was at least 3 years old and out of date.

    	There's nothing wrong with Technics.
    
    	My entire A/V system [besides the RS EQ I bought used] at the
    	house it Technics/Panasonic.

Saw them at Donington Monsters of Rock on Saturday.  I've never heard them
before but I thought they were pretty good.

The only band to use fireworks on their set.

      Check out the pawn shops.  They usually have a lot of CD players
    that are very cheap.

    new hyundai.

    yes,I want Technics.They aren't the best but if I wanted to buy the

    I read some where else that there a Wildhearts ep called "Caffeine
    bomb",can someone give a track listing as the Wildhearts released a
    single that wasn't on "Earth versus..." but was a good song!I think it
    was the first single they released.
