Help! Need O-Positive

Postby SwampThing » Sat Feb 21, 2004 4:49 am

Any fans of a group called O-Positive. I think they were a Boston area college rock band in the late 80's. I have a copy of their independent release called "Only Breathing/Cloud Factory" on CD. I hadn't listened to it in probably 10 years, so I pulled it out and the CD media degraded so bad it wouldn't play. Has anyone else seen this happen to CD's that were manufactured in the 80's?

I bought another copy of EBay recently and it has the exact same problem. I tried it on no less than 6 different CD players.

I'd like to get a CD-R copy if anyone has a working copy of the CD.

Thanks.

I have Only Breathing on vinyl, might have Cloud Factory as well. Will take a look. I could always dump them down to CD for you ...

Thanks for the offer. I have a few of the songs as MP3's. I'd really like to get a copy of the original CD.
