    Not sure why this LP sells for so much. Judging by the sales history it's clearly not the rarest LP. Must be hundreds of original copies still out there.

      Great pressing, oddly puzzling playing… not sure about the music. It’s of the time and place and holds significant historical value, definitely with some magic, but it’s just chaotic, for better or for worse.

        Bought this original LP today. It sounds quite good as original strata records tend to, no odd artifacts or defects like are not unheard of

            This is being reissued by BBE in November as a double LP, so hopefully it will sound as good as the Wax Poetics version.

              Yes unfortunately the pressing is well below par. What a shame
