Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Fairlight Not used in Recording ZZTop on ebay

2012-12-03 by Peter Connelly

Hi Greg,

I am the previous owner of the machine that is now on eBay. The gentleman I bought this from, Erik in New York, in 2002, informed me of the possible ZZ Top history.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Cheers,
Peter
