Reviews
Edited one year agoFor the pressing in this listing, this is the earliest pressing of this rare and classic lp before they changed their name to sparks. The other pressing of this lp has the sparks name change on the labels where this pressing has halfnelson on the labels so make sure to pay attention to that detail when buying this. This is the one you want if you are looking for the earliest 1st pressing. As with any Todd production, the hi hat, cymbals and mids are front and center but I also like how the bottom compliments the top and the separation is phenomenal
