THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
DAVID ESSEX...Rock On  (1973)
Rock On was released 40 years ago in 1973 and it reached number 32 on the U.S. Billboard album charts.  The title track is one of the most recognizable hits of the 70's.  Def Leppard also did a fantastic version of it.  It's that great of a song.   The rest of the album I had never heard before.  I went in thinking that none of the other tracks would be near as good as "Rock On" and I was right.  The rest were ok.  The album starts off with "Lamplight" (which David wrote with the Bee Gees) and I was like "Uh oh, this won't be good!" Next was "Turn Me Loose" which wasn't very good either. Not looking good, but the rest was a good listen but "Rock On" would be the only highlight for me.  My rating would be a 2 out of 5 stars.

This is an excellent short article concerning Postscript limitcheck mistakes.
I do have one inquiry, however. You claim not to
publish using a printer line. Could you clarify your explanations?

Well thats the initial time ive heared that there is a reset button on your cartridge, you can conserve cash
by merely using this suggestion, does this mean i can easily fill
up the cartridge myself and push the remainder button and my printer will certainly approve that the cartridge is full.
