I'm so happy I bought this version - it sounds AMAZING. Bass on this release should be a blueprint for all future music.
B.A.Harkins Aug 21, 2021
In the runout matrix of my copy, it’s not MCR Se, it’s MCR Joe.
Now, on to more important stuff. This is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks from one of my all-time favorite movies. RIP “Joliet” Jake Blues, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, “Mr. Fabulous” Alan Rubin, and Donald “Duck” Dunn.
