Have a friend who has it, and he brought it over and we plunked it down. It's not recorded all that well or something, but it's not very interesting. I was really disappointed, since I had heard such good things about SH&W. However, I realize it's a concept piece so I can't judge them based on that. Packaging is really cool, though. Oh, and the B-side is at 2 rpm.
