1989 CATALOG COVER

This catalog had "The Miracle on Allergy" a pamphlet we found in a music store in South Carolina. If you want to read it we have scanned it and it is in this Archive section.  As you can see we proclaimed that this was our last Parts Edition.  Steve was sick of doing parts plus every year good old parts were getting harder to find.  He had also decided to go into vintage Hi-Fi although Corey Greenberg had warned us that we would not get along with audiophiles.

Remember when the Cold War was suddenly over and it was the end of History and we were just going to have Peace all the time? That unfounded optimism inspired this cover design.  We had the F word spelled out in our orignal design but the printers refused to go with that one.  A few of our customers didn't recognize Lenin and thought that was a picture of Steve.

We were really in to Tubes at this point.  Yes, the cover is a bit suggestive!

Before Photoshop!  I guess it looks a bit crude now.

 "Family Values" was a big buzzword for the politicians of the time.

This was our last printed catalog.  Charles Bennington of WGNS Studios is a computer expert in addition to being a musician and studio guy.  He offered to bring Angela Instruments into the modern age by creating an Online Catalog on the WWW. As our catalog had grown it had become more and more of a huge task to get it done each year and we were ready for his good idea.  Charles created our website and also taught us, two computer illiterates, how to operate it.  When we announced we were ending the printed catalog we had many unhappy customers.  One caller informed us that going on the internet was a fatal mistake, that not that many people had computers and that he would guarantee we would go out of business.  Since this was about the three hundredth time someone had told us about how we are going to go out of business we weren't worried.
