This is good quality CD. The sound is rich, detailed and filled with quality instruments.

Got into this album via the Mala remix of Cay's Crays. That track on a dub soundsystem is something else. Crowd at a DMZ gig go nuts for it.
Brilliant album though! Might have to seek out a VG+ copy...

A must have of Fat Freddy’s in my opinion. I think the first 2-3 albums a band releases shows their original sound.

Hope is my favourite song.

I saw FFD perform at Bluesfest, Byron Bay, Australia and they were outstanding. The crowd loved them.

Disk C and D have cracks and pops from bad pressing. I requested a new copy but had same issue aswell as the copy off a driend of mine. Dont buy!

I looked over my record and tracklist and I think this is the pressing I have.

My copy has a few crackles/pops in the surface noise and was purchased new. Wet cleaned with a Big Fudge Record Friend and used a sticky roller and brush before playing. It is possible it's something in my setup, but it might just be the pressing.

Anyone else's centre labels on the wrong side on disc 1?

I’m looking for disc one (sides A & B) as mine is damaged if anybody can help.

The last copy was sold for 150 euros but discogs deleted it.

What is the difference between this press and the next one? I would like to find out without opening since is sealed. Thanks to all

It seems difficult to pin down which pressing I have of this album. I purchased it brand new in New Zealand in 2018. Does anyone have the matrix numbers for the 2005 NZ pressing?
