I've been hoping this got a vinyl treatment for 20 years. I had no hope. But then it just hits, and mastered by Bernie Grundman no less. Couldn't be happier!
That's a great set, for sure. I always loved it that this band came from a small town in western New York State (Jamestown) that I lived near for a couple of years in the mid to late 70s (two separate years, and I moved back to my home state of California both times). I've often wished they had formed earlier or I had lives there later and caught them in their early days. I've also always wished either Natalie Merchant had stayed with them or they had changes the band's name when she left. It's just not the same group now.

It's not the same and the lead guitarist died of alcoholism in 2000, so it's been a long time since it was these 10k. I'm not the most sensitive guy in teh world, but any that I have I owe to my love of her in my formative years. She was the first musician that sang to social causes that I really absorbed. I love her to this day.

Thanks! Reissue. Sounds great. Been on my wishlist for a long time as it was the last R.E.M. studio album I needed to complete their discography but had been out of stock everywhere. Now to carve out some time to do a full discography listen.
