Shame... musically very nice but just too much surface noise.

Before the days of audio cartridges did people use rusty nails?

It isn't my favourite but wow this is a showoff piece for Richter.

A great performance. A great sound. But I just dont dig the tunes.

Deb.

That's a cool cover art tho.

Yes, it has the cartoon funk of the 1950's about it, but i don't think it's quite that old.
