Reviews

When you have an old master like Greg Calbi involved, you know the vinyl is going to sound great and this is no exception. A classic vintage vinyl. It doesn't get much better than this. -
Edited 9 months agoFound a super mega clean copy at my local atique and oddities store for a fair price and after cleaning a little, putting it on the table, and turning the volume up I am completely over the moon with the sound of this! Everything just sounds perfect to these ears! Absolutely silent pressing and the highs and mids are so layered and clear. What a great early album from a great band from my youth.
It is semi see through yes... -
I have a copy with a gold promo stamp on the back that includes a 3 page stapled typewritten biography about the band and its releases up to this point on I.R.S letterhead -
-
I have a copy of this LP that is stamped "MRΔ26395x" in the runout. Can't find any info on what that means.
-
I have a 2 Disc edition, but can´t find it anywhere on the list.
