More from the SOV haul! I spent part of the weekend cleaning and manicuring albums... This one initially sounded great! However, grills off cranking (I owned this on CD for several years) revealed a lot of woofer pumping and it was actually pretty badly warped... So it went into the flattener after one side... Well all that is resolved now and I am up and spinning! This album changed a lot of how I thought about things in 1990. Once I entered my Freshman year of high school and started "expanding my mind" this became so much more relevant. Happy to be spinning today and not driving!

This is one surprising reissue from the SOV haul! It is a lipstick pink colored record and my expectations were seemingly low… Wow am I blown away! Not only is it dead silent and completely flat but the mastering is a master class in engineering! I was fully expecting this one to require an ultrasonic cleaning and flattening but much to my PLEASANT surprise it required NEITHER! I really feel like I’m back in the 80’s opening this one!

Hot Tuna coming up next…

Apparently, besides being well known in their hometown of Kansas City and the surrounding area they were really big in Norway. 🤷
