Fairlight-CMI

Hi Peter
The Pet Shop Boys had two Series III when touring. One was their own and the
other was rented to them. Gerald on this forum has one of their Series III.
It came with a few songs still on it. NICE..... Both Series III were sold so
they don't have any now not unless they bought one very recently.
regards
Colin

Does anyone know if the PSB's owned their own Series III's or did they
belong to the people involved on their projects, ie Trevor Horn, Andy
Richards, etc?
