It is a marvellous insight into one of Frank's quantum leap years. Shame a disc was wasted on "1984 UMRK Re-Mix" though. I'd rather listen to the damaged tapes than that surgical and completely incongrouous botch job. Some great material on here that easily makes it worthwhile all the same.
-
One of the best cd sets hands down. These 2 albums sound perfect in mono and the extras you get are amazing as well! -
'Lumpy Money' is quite a good title and utilitarian in its brevity - however were I in control of the project I would have called it "We're Only In It For The Gravy'.
