Ouch is right.....I got my copy in 1998 for 10 bucks.

Ever since I first heard this back in 2000, I always thought "Light In The Sky" (12:27) was the most overlooked gem of the bunch. I can't think of another song that has quite the same vibe--a dark, brooding groover. Maybe "Little Dreamer" comes close.

Love Light in the Sky. That melodic riff in the chorus is only about 35 years ahead of its time. Not sure about the "farmer's daughter" rambling, though. Always thought it sounded like Dave off the cuffed this baby in the studio, like they sprung this tune on him. Never heard anything like it in club boots.

So I got my copy Friday..pretty fast service...Came with cover and back art..no jewel case..I knew it wouldnt be a top notch recording..I was right..sounds good on my laptop and car if turned up loud enough..I do like these versions of the old stuff...raw and full of energy..the extended solo on SGMAD should have been put on vinyl..Piece of Mind is a great tune...love the faster Little Dreamer..

Love that stuff.....so much energy.
