Reviews
My version had no CD, obviously this wasn't included on some pressings, but for me not really a problem.
Sound is fine, even if there are some background noises on side B which were minimized after cleaning twice, sleeve without any notes, simple paper sleeves inside.
Well done compilation.
2xLP: two tracks less than CD (included with vinyl) and no liner notes.. :-(
Soundwise fantastic.- Top sounds here!!!
