p.463- Concerning Jimmy Page's Hybrid amplifiers, it would be more correct to say, "Photos from the era show him using 4120 heads with Rickenbacker amplifier cabinets. Page presently owns a pair of 7120 heads." (Added 12-01-08)
pp.530, 531- In 1968, Celestion reversed the order of their date codes. From 1963 to 1967, they were arranged as Day, Month, Year. From 1968 on, they read, Month, Year, Day. Also changed in 1968 was the alpha sequence. Instead of continuing on with the letter "N," 1968 began a new sequence with "A" representing the year. Of course, there were exceptions. At least three examples have been found from 1969 and one from 1973 using the new alpha sequence, but the old order of Day, Month, Year.
