Reviews
Edited one year agoFunking great find at the Modern Times record store pop-up in San Diego, Sports Arena area... $9 and flawless!
It's time for an audiophile pressing of this one! Mofi, Acoustic Sounds, Impex or Speakers Corner. Please!!- There is a typo on the song length for "In Love We Grow" on the album. It's over by around a minute!
