Than 18,000 Titles In Stock Frank Sinatra Just look at the lame cover art and you know you’re into some packaged dreck. The guys www.audiophileusa.com Sings For Only the Lonely dressed in old west outfits atop a horse drawn stage coach below an unfinished freeway The Ramones ramp. Heavy!. Open the gatefold and there they are atop the ramp still dressed in silliness It's Alive getting ready for a formal meal. Heavier heavyiness! Jazz zusammen hören ZZ Top Finden Sie einen Fandango Yet there are some classic rock tunes here, like “Long Train Runnin’” and especially “China Grove,” though the riff, even back in 1973 was already a horrible cliché.

That’s about all I got out of the listen. same day! www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk May Since I don’t have an original I can’t tell you how this reissue cut by Kevin Gray at April AcousTech compares to an original, but I found this uncharacteristically edgy-sounding: more about the hard outer coating and less about the soft, chewy center. Rare Vinyl & Re- March masters February Not my thing but if it’s yours, you won’t find a cleaner, quieter pressing than this RedSparkMusic, your Speakers Corner reissue. space for new & old January music of exceptional quality www.RedSparkMusic.com/WorldWide
