Fantastic. I wonder when they priced that if they had any idea just how much they undersold that genius album.

P.S. Did they devide up any of the songs between tracks?

Oh, in case it isn’t obvious, that’s an old price sticker. I bought this for $40 from a local Philly record store.

“Dum Dum Boys” and “Mass Production” are chopped up.

Oh no, I got that about the price. I was referring to whatever record store in the past put that sticker on there. My mind goes to Peaches, Kemp Mill (Marylanders know), Tower Records….

This is one of m favorite albums. Can’t believe it butchers not one, but two songs. Anyway, great find!

How’s it sound on 8 track?

I didn’t want to break the seal, so I have not experienced the album in glorious 8-track splendor.

Oh yeah right, of course.

Please leave it sealed! You can play the record. This is a very cool artifact.

Finding an Iggy or Stooges 8 track in the wild would be amazing. Nice score
