Must be 40 years since I last heard it, and didn't care for it enough to buy. I'll see how I get on with it now, and if I like it enough I'll put it on my vinyl wants list.
One of the first LPs I ever bought.Quote:

Gordon, the proprietor of Action Records had this playing while I was in the shop - funny how sometimes, despite the 'lesser' sound system, you can enjoy the tunes more than at home. Or maybe it's just me. Maybe I just relax into the music when not thinking about speaker placement, VTA, room acoustics, or whether changing the cartridge was a good idea...

Great Album. I often enjoy hearing an Album more in different / unexpected environments.Quote:

It's been a few years since I last played this.

Disc 2 as that starts with 'Cortez The Killer' which is epic.
