    This is pretty awesome and yet no one’s posted a review after 8+ years. It’s cheap and it’s great. Pressing is good despite RSD release. Get that 20 bucks out of your shirt pocket and buy this. Play it late at night when you’re shitfaced and sing along like your friends don’t care. These recordings got me through some dark days.
