Reviews & Discussion
I did have two copies of this but my idiot brother decided to give one away to one of hid friends when I was abroad in the Army.
I've been listening to this album for over 20 years and have only just had the opportunity to listen to the 45-RPM cuts. I was overcome, goosebumps shimmering over my entire skin, tears filling my eyes, and was filled with yearning to melt into each track. The difference in definition (in comparison to the 2xLP reissue) is not subtle.
