Wilson Phillips' The MOOG Source




For the Wilson Phillips fans out there. via this auction:
"I used this monophonic Moog Source synthesizer on the Wilson Phillips tour in 1988. I put it in storage after the tour and haven't touched it until now. It's in excellent physical condition except for small strips of tape on the top that had the band's set list. (I chose not to remove them since I don't have tape remover solvent to clean off any residue.) I had a tech look at it and he said,"It powers up but the key contacts have tarnished and need to be cleaned and the internal battery needs to be replaced so it can hold user programable presets in it's 16 memory slots. His estimate on the repairs was $100.00. This synth is being sold in as is condition. My photos turned out a liitle grainy but be assured this synth is in excellent phisical condition. Local pick up in LA is fine."

  2. Owning this is really like having a bit of history. Where would we be today without the combination of the groundbreaking technology Moog Source and timeless music that is "Wilson Phillips"

  5. I too loved the knob on this thing. So smooth. If the Little Phatty had Source knobs I think I would be more interested in it.

  6. While that first single was a more than a bit pants really, I really liked that album.

    Light as it may be, and the vocal style was sweet but impersonal, but I'm a big fan of Glen Ballard's writing and production, and there's some Steve Lukather's guitar work which is amazing.

    And yes, I *am* posting this anonymously... hehe
