A Humbucker works by using two coils and reversing the coil direction and the magnetic direction of the second coil. If they were put together wrong and sealed in epoxy, there's not much you can do.

My first two CD's were Dark Side of the Moon and Machine Head.
Sometimes these days, I'll get out my Frampton Comes Alive album..open it up and dump some raisin bran in the middle. I use a credit card to separate the raisins out.
Cheers!

Deja Vu is one of my favourite albums. Woodstock was on the list for the jam I went to last weekend.
The week before, as I was prepping I asked what version and was told Joni's. I put that on and tried playing with it - not easy.
I played through the CSNY version without even thinking about

I bought my first cd player in 1992 and the first disc to go with it was Aerosmith's "Pandora's Box". 3 discs actually.
I still buy a lot of cd's, the last 10 I've bought:
Neil Young: Roxy (got it on vinyl too)
Groundhogs: Crosscut Saw/Black Diamond 2-on-1 CD
Rupert Hine: Surface Tension (The Studio Works 1981-1983)
Mickey Jupp: Juppanese
Rick Derringer: All American Boy
It Bites: The Old Man And The Angel CD5 (stands for a cd maxi single)
Carla Bley Band: Musique Mechanique
Steve Hillage: Dusseldorf
Thom Yorke: Harrowdown Hill CD5
Ty Tabor: I Do CD5
I never stopped buying vinyl when I bought the cd player and never stopped buying cd's when the vinyl "came back".
I’ve got All American Boy and the Roxy (it was a Record Store Day release over here) on vinyl.
my first CD experience…was working as a repair tech at TM Sound and Lighting in FT Laud while attending UM and they sent me to Miami to to do a JVC product training course on CD player repair the same exact day of the Challenger disaster….. hard to forget..
I saw the Maniacs open for REM on the Fables of Reconstruction tour, was awesome. She actually fell offstage, and went away for about 10min, then came back and finished set on crutches, lol.
I saw the Diesel and Dust tour in Nashville, no kidding, probably one of the best live performances i've ever seen, they had soooo much energy and nailed the songs, but not in a boring note for note fashion....miss those days... Oh and first CD was Let's Active, Big Plans for Everybody. 1986, still a great album today.

Yeah, mine is an RSD version too. Great release and Tuscaloosa, Hitchiker and Homegrown have been too. Gotta get the Chrome Dreams next.
Me too. I was in junior high school when this was all over the AM radio, and had never heard of Joni. Always thought it was the original. I miss the SoCal stations back then, even on transistor radios, and buying the 45's with my paper route money.

That challenger disaster was definitely one of those “where were you when” moments in history. I was in Skokie Illinois being shot at by I assume a disgruntled employee.
A pharmaceutical company in Skokie was going bankrupt so our company bought them out. I was in charge of collecting all the physical company drug related confidential files (hard copy data) and clinical trial data to bring back to our headquarters in Cincinnati. While I was there overseeing the file collection and armored vehicle loading at the dock a couple of bullets wizzed past my head and took out some windows near me. Fortunately no one was hit and my security detail who were armed secured the property perimeter until the police could arrive.
I was moved to the security office with some of the building guards watching the close circuit cameras for potential shooters and there was a TV on in the room showing the Challenger launch. Watching the disaster in real time was gut wrenching and completely took our focus off of the security issue on site.
My first cd.
At the time, I was on senior year of high school.
And this one could have been the first.
Fun fact: I was at the store, close to school; I saw it, as I didn't have the money in my pocket, I went back the next day to buy it, but it was gone, just one. So I bought Pearl Jam.
When I returned home, my brother had bought Pink Floyd (double cd).

It was/is my birthday. We were underway (by treaty, we could only stay 3 consecutive weeks in our home port unless it was an official yard period, so out at sea a lot).
