ill by-pass the assessment of ahc, but im curious what u consider "prime"
perry? ill grant u the wacked out stuff from black ark studios is
definately "prime" but so are the two sherwood produced albums "from the
secret laboratory" and "time boom X"...if those two dont have "humor" and
"character", i really dont know what does....
