Reviews
Any ideas about a US version where the side A runout is something like (HXPR) P PAL-30340-GIA? It could be 61A, or G1A. It's baffling.
i have this on the c'd version that contains third through to 6 or 7 and i have to say this is easily the worst sounding mixing and production i have ever heard.
if you want a migraine within 5 seconds this is a sure bet.
avoid at any cost , - 1000 out of 5 stars !- speaking of classic : complex astonishing imaginative disorganized and amazing *****
