    Thumbs up

    Hah! Be sure and show that to Brian (laserist), he'll get a kick out of that.. That will be 'worth something', someday... It's 'worth a lot', now, as a piece of history, but.. I'd bet, someday, such 'collectables' will be worth more and more.. ie: not that long-ago, someone paid north of $3500. for the original-artwork from the 'Laserock' show-promo material.. Also, soon, 'Laserock' T-s will be for-sale, cause, 'Sting' sported one, when they were in LA, in like, '77, doing an album-release show, and came to see the shows, etc.. there's already a ton of 'pre-orders', from what I hear!

    Thanks for the find / post, Fle..

    Hey Jon,

    I'm pretty sure I saw the 1/4" master for those spots when I was spelunking in Studio C... The audience comments and the interview could have been from '73 but "current :60 radio spot" seems unlikely - especially on a 3.5 inch disk (not invented yet & even if - nobody had a PC yet...) - after all laserium opened in Nov '73 and I doubt they ran radio spots that early unless the station gave LII a credit line...

    still - a bit of history

    Hi,

    Slightly off topic, but I guess we have all seen this?

    You're right - my Fisher Price "Smart Phone" led me astray...
