LETTERS We Goofed! I enjoyed reading your first issue of HiFi & MUSIC REVIEW; especially the article by Herbert Reid, "Don't Murder Those Recordsl" There is, however, a very grave error in the caption under the picture on page 68. The statement is made that Staticmasters contain radioactive plutonium. It should read radioactive polonium. There is a very distinct difference between these two elements, and ... we believe that your readers may be unnecessarily concerned about the safety of Staticmasters. Richard M. Evleth, Pres. Nuclean Products Co. El Monte, Calif. Read the above letter and weep This guy Herbert Reid is a creep He can't find the right particle F or his article -Ed. What's in the Offing? Since the price of most records has been raised, I would appreciate a report in one of your future issues on some of the "low-priced" records. I recently purchased one of these and was quite pleasantly surprised by the all-round good sound and lack of surface noise. William McGuigan Staten Island, N. Y. I know at least one reader who would find most useful a thorough treatment of "stereo-architecture." What shapes and sizes of rooms are most congenial to the stereo illusion? William S. Vincent 88 Morningside Drive Weare happy to advise that an article on "low-priced" records is in the works and scheduled for earl!! publication. Our staff is researching the stereo room-acoustics situation and its findings will be in print as soon as practicable. - Ed. Thank You!!! Congratulations on your wonderful new publication. I read the first two issues from cover to cover and found them positively intriguing. I am proud to be a charter subscription member of this fine magazine. Frank Buzzell Grand Haven, Mich. I would like to tell you how very much I enjoy your high fid elity magazine. It is most up-to-date and informative about 8 the newest in recordings, etc. I feel your publication serves as a guide to better music appreciation. Eddie Pearhllan Lafayette, Ind. May I take the liberty of extending my appreciation for the fine article in your May issue entitled "If HIGHS Are Here, Can LOWS Be Far Behind?" by Warren DeMotte. Speaking as one not too familiar with the technical jargon of the "hi-fi engineers," but as a musician and music lover, this article was most informative and understandable. John H. Brown, Jr. Springfield, Penna. I appreciate the method your reviewers have of telling what they believe to be the best recordings available. I'm sure the record companies hate you, but I love it-keep up the good workl Bill Mitchell Houston, Texas Oops, We Goofed Again!! It looks like somebody goofed in your photo department. The picture of Bunny Berrigan in your "Jazz Hot" story (June, p. 26) ain't Bunny. It's Larry Clinton. Good story, tllOugh, and how about a picture of Bunny to even matters? Herb Field Chappaqua, N. Y. A case of long hairs in the soup. Here's a picture of Bunny Berrigan to make amends. -Ed. Berrigan Clinton Missing Flip Side I missed "Under the Flip Side" in tlle May issue. I hope this isn't a permanent loss as it was one of my favorites. Irvin Patten Sacramento, Calif. In the May issue "The Flip Side" page was gone-why? Please put it back-it made interesting reading. Andrew E. Kovacs Brooklyn, N. Y. Back in June, but missing from July is the "Flip Side" page. Unfortunately Editor Ferrell came down with a case of m easles iust at deadline time. H e is on the road to recovery and promises some last-minute information on hi-Ii equipment faT the August issue. HIFI & MUSIC REVIEW
