Re: Racked Series III on eBay

2005-06-11 by David J. Wilson

Hi Peter,
so Chris Hughes had 3 Fairlight's (1 IIX, 2 Series III) ?

I ran into Curt Smith from TFF in L.A. this past Christmas time,
I had a quick chat with him as a TFF fan, I asked him if
they would be working with Chris Hughes again.  He said
Roland was back in the UK talking with Chris about future
projects together.  So hopefully they will do more work together.

that rack Series III is really interesting looking.

cheers,

David
