Gibson Les Paul Traditional

The Les Paul Traditional Electric Guitar got its name because Gibson gave it all the traditional features you expect from a Les Paul: mahogany body and set neck with rounded '50s profile, maple top, and a pair of Gibson's '57 Classic humbucker pickups. One significant, yet not-so-traditional improvement the neck has been Plek'd on Gibson's Plek machine. The neck and frets are analyzed by a computer-controlled robot and then the frets are filed to an accuracy of a hundredth of a millimeter for optimal action and intonation without string buzzing.

Don Harper - Homo Electronicus

A little while back we featured some library albums by jazz violinist Don Harper. Those of you with truly exceptional memories will remember that his main claim to fame was that he was the composition tutor for Mr Snookles back in the 1980's. Well, that and his involvement with the BBC radiophonic workshop in it's glory days with Delia and Roger and co.

This album pushes the envelope as far as the electronic library genre is concerned. It contains some extended pieces of 10-15 mins duration in which the sonic possibilities of the fabulous analog synths of the day find full expression.

John Wallis - Beat Rhythms

This is one of those "Saw the cover - had to have the album" records. John wallis was an Australian James Last - wannabe band leader who put out a number of "Happy Party Vibe" records for the local market. The girl doing the funky Emu on the front lets you know that subtlety is not the foremost quality of the music. Still, good fun, and probably worth something because of its scarcity...
