I'm listening to cd's and would love to have it on vinyl. No complaints though this is a great album.

This is the famous 3 sides Kirk with the fourth side blank and the jacket containing the warning 'do not play the fouth side, it will damage your stylus' ... Only the 4th side isn't really blank but contains a personal message from RRK to the faithful. As RRK would say, 'Bright Moments'.

Very cool ... I thought the set was only on cd ... not that there's anything wrong with that.

A nice mono copy of Byrd in Flight. Really nice lp and well recorded on a 1960 pressing.
