i've only listened to the first side, but it seems like they've tried to cram an awful lot of music on to it - there's 5 or 6 tracks taking 25 to 30 minutes on there - and as a result they've ended-up with a *really* quiet cut. it might have been better to spread the album over 4 sides of vinyl, allowing them to get a much louder cut, but if they'd done that then the vinyl wouldn't be as cheap as it is - seems like 9 quid is the standard retail price, which is damn cheap for an lp! rob _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
