NOT A PIRATE
Ina press release from Music Media International, Roy Lindau, President of MMI, the worldwide sales rep's for the station disputed the "pirate" tag that the Laser had been given by the press saying that "unlike the pirate stations of the past Laser 558 is a legal radio station, since the ship is registered outside of Europe, transmits from International waters, is owned and operated by a Panamanian company and staffed and supplied by citizens of the United States, the station is in the opinion of counsel, entirely legal". On Sunday 27th May, a new deejay joined the line-up, Paul Dean, who'd last been heard on offshore radio under the name Paul May on RNI, some ten years or so earlier. Laser posters, tee-shirts and a video were all advertised on Laser from the end of May, these were obtainable from the stations address of Music Media International, 341 Madison Avenue, New York NY 10017 USA. With any goods ordered you automatically became a member of the Communicator club and received a membership card.
