hi. i mail-ordered this 12" as well after reading some very positive
reviews on the list; however on the subjective level i thought it was
on the mediocre side. the indented cardboard packaging is beautiful not to
mention the gorgeous thick vinyl pressing, but that's about it. actual
music on there just a tad above your usual limpid 95 era Booth & Brown
done by (whole) numbers. i mean, where's the passion?! future awaits..
