Hi,

Some of you may have seen this before....

Anyone else penned an ode to their Fairlight?!

Do his recordings exist anywhere?

Cheers

Hi,

I remember having seen (definitely!!)  an LP (or even double LP) 
called Battlefield Earth (as mentioned in the text) some years ago in 
a 2nd hand record shop, made by the Scientology guy L.Ron Hubbard 
about whom the mentioned website is.

Cheers

Roland

Hello to all in the group...

I don't think I have ever actually posted before.  I've been a member
for quite some time but have usually been busy and haven't had the
chance to get involved.

The post about Ron L. Hubbard recording piqued my interest.  I
actually had the opportunity to work on that very machine a few years
ago.  Apparently the Scientologists had it in storage for quite some
time and ended up selling it at a local music store in Los Angeles
(Black Market Music).  I know the owner of the store and several of
the employees.  I got a call from them being I was the ONLY person
they knew who had a Fairlight and knew anything about it.  The machine
was a very interesting series I that had been upgraded to a IIx. It
had some disk drive issues and noisy/low output problems but was
relatively intact.  Unfortunately the interesting sound library as
mentioned on Ron's "Ode" page were nowhere to be found - perhaps he
kept the disks hidden away somewhere for his own samples....

I do recall that they ended up selling that machine to the hip hop
group "Outkast", which I think (as an American) is a very amusing
history for a machine owned originally by Scientologists..

Best Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

That is so weird, I was in LA a few weeks ago and planned to visit BMM,
but unfortunately went there in the late hours of the day, and I missed
the shop. Could have made a discovery :)

Best regards,
Harald.
