referencing Figure 8, 2xLP, Album, RE, 180, plain127

Terrible pressing from Plain Recordings. Skips on Tracks B1 and B2, and every other song has horrible sibilance and hissing on the treble sounds. An amazing album made practically unlistenable thanks to the shoddy physical medium.

I think, this album is a turning point in Elliott's works. The whole atmosphere changes right from here: depressiveness and gloominess dissolve, making way for feeling of freedom and happiness. This album gives a "second wind", a breath of fresh after sitting in stuffy room. The songs i can mark out as the best one's are: "Son Of Sam", "Somebody That I Used To Know", "L. A.", "Wouldn't Mama Be Proud" and "Can't Make A Sound". Listenning to the album is recommended. =)
