Right, Meco did a lot of those albums back then. When a big SF movie came
out, you almost waited for the Meco album that would pop up on AM radio the
same week.

But some may remember that the original LP version of the CE3K soundtrack
came with a 45 RPM of a pseudo-disco version of the theme that John Williams
himself did! Ripe with "wakka-wakka" guitar and everything. Strangely (or
not) this cut hasn't made it onto any subsequent release, no matter how
otherwise complete it may be.

  Well, there were the Meco Monardo albums, a sort of jazz/disco
contemporary ensemble with Suzanne Ciani using Buchla synthesizers for the
electronic stuff.  I think I read somewhere that Meco runs a software 
publishing company now.

I apologize with he list for posting a message that was intended to be sent privately to Paul but it is IMPOSSIBLE to email MOTM, I tried for several days and yet there is not a phone number on the website but a free call number that doesn't work from outside the States.

Hi Paul, I'm Enrico from Italy
Several weeks ago I placed an order:  mult + 410 + 820,
I'd like to ask you to charge my VISA now for those items (if you didn't
already) since the dollar is almost in parity with euro at the moment but
it seems it is starting to go up again. So do it now, no matter if it will
take long before you ship.
Thank you Enrico

Sorry again for the O.T.
