Reviews
Anyone who at least a passing interest in this album should do well to avoid the Wounded Bird reissue because it is just totally unlistenable. No idea what kind of tapes they used but it sure ain't the original masters or they have screwed up the thing in the transfer to digital because it sounds like you are listening to while through the thin wood walls in your appartment while your neighbour is playing this album. Again, avoid at all cost.
