I respectfully disagree. I'd own this - even though I know people who pan it -
simply for the mix of "Pocket Calculator/Dentaku". Of course, I've owned
everything they've recorded and would recommend of most of it. BTW, a lot of
what they played on their last tour were versions very close to those on "The
Mix". They sounded fine to me.
