Laid back and relax kind of groove but have to get up every 2 tunes.

This is why I don't reach out for 45 Lps. The flow of album gets interrupted too often.

Kuma,

It could have been much worse with a 10 inch 78 RPM vinyl. Their average playing time per side was three minutes. The disc jockeys of the 1910 era had to be olympic athletes.

George Harrison. Brainwashed. On CD from 2002. Lovely music on a very warm sounding CD.

+1. And I think we see here a Mellencamp establishing his voice and music as the voice of struggling farmers in America's heartland, much in the same vein Springsteen spoke for blue-collar workers in America's industrial northeast. Later Mellencamp albums would also address American racial issues. I respect artists that provide a larger message in their craft.

Hawkwind -ZONES- c.d. in nice card cover and inserts on Flicknife label.

starts off with a couple of studio tracks and the album then segues into live tracks. One of my favourite versions of 'Brainstorm' finishes off the album; from the early '80's.
