-
agree with the previous comment, a terrific 2x LP compilation with extra tracks, but the sound quality is a bit dire; thin, screechy, no bass and hard to listen to. I ended up selling it, unfortunately. -
As much as I love owning the 2LP Oz gatefold, the sound is nothing to write home about. Very thin and reedy - maybe one too many tracks on each side?
