Such a great record and "Here Comes My Girl" is an all-time top 10 pop song, imho. This pressing sounds so good.
-
Sound City put out some magical recordings. Classic album by one of the greats. My copy is a bit noisy here and there, but it doesn't matter because as soon as the music comes in it sounds amazing! Great separation of the instruments. You can tell most of this album was cut live with very few takes as it was back in the day. 15 purchase and couldn't be happier -
I am not nor have I ever been a big TP fan. I didn't even pretend I was after news of his ing. That said, I do believe if you were to own only one TP album (as I do) this would be it. -
Is there a release without STERLING in the matrix? Also there is no letter in-between the 2 diamonds in the matrix
-
I, too, have a "promo" if this LP with white timing strip and gold promo stamp on front, upper right side of cover. On both runouts, the letters "DJ" is etched. Is this abbreviated for "Disc Jockey" If so, should this be listed as a US promo?
