    How would you rate "Total Eclipse"?
    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    Matches my memory of that album. The reason I'm asking is there is a used copy of "Total Eclipse" in the record store around the corner, and I'm debating whether to blow $10.00 on it?

    I have it, fantastic playing (especially by Steve Kindler on killer violin!) Sadly, the pressing I have is of substandard sound quality. The condition is very good, but the overall sound is a bit dull and lacks dynamics.

    Is your pressing better sounding?

    Pressing is ok.
    Slightly worn but not at all bad.
    Have it on CD too

    Do you have Black Sheep and Like Children ? - only falling slightly short of Oh Yeah
