    I ordered Remember Two Things but was drunk when I did.... 2 showed up at my doorstep and I went back and I got charged for both. If anyone wants it at cost.... Get in touch. I got one for you still sealed.

    That sucks, but is hilarious at the same time.

    I just got a new turntable yesterday but couldn't complete the setup because I need to extend the RCA's (they are like 3 ft). How does the LP sound? Smooth?

    Yeah I mean it's more funny than anything. I haven't had a chance to spin it yet. Plan on getting around to it this week sometime since I'm pretty busy. But yeah... I'm sure someone out there wouldn't mind one at cost.

    the vinyl sounds great. unlike the big whiskey and away from the world vinyl versions, they put some effort into making the r2t vinyl worth the price. a recommended buy.

    If it was actually limited you'd be in great shape. I've only had a chance to listen to the 1st LP so far and I thought it sounded good.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    It's an excellent deal. Only problem is that I already have RTT, and I don't like Away from the World. So spending 48 bucks on Big Whiskey won't happen.

    Am I in the minority by saying that I think the band was much better with Butch Taylor than without? I think they were at their height with him in the band. The piano made a huge difference and crafted a fuller sound. By contrast I know it's heresy but I don't love Tim with the band. He's like an axeman, thrashing on the guitar when the test of the band is in a jazz groove. I like the acoustic tours, but would trade Tim back for Butch any day.

    I heard one estimate that they pressed 10,000 R2T's.

    I think it has to be at least 15K based on the numbers I've seen posted.

    Wow. 15,000 is a huge number. I'm all in favor of a large run, though. The artist sells more and the flippers make less. As it should be.

    I wonder what the average number of records pressed is for a release that isn't limited edition?

    The whole limited edition thing is a joke if over 5K. Away From The World was supposed to be limited as well.
