45 RPM, 180g vinyl

I also have a copy of this issue and really love it. I see that you spin it fairly often. I listened to the original release the other day. The 45 rpm, 180g kinda of leaves it in the dust.

It really does. There was more music in the studio than the original release or the CD reveal.

I liked the Avett brothers album. How is the new Arcade Fire album? I heard that it is very disco influenced, which is not my favorite musical influence.

Mad River

Quote

Mad River was an American psychedelic rock band.
Mad River formed at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in April 1966. The band took its name from the nearby Mad River. By March 1967 they had relocated to Berkeley, California. There they came to the attention of cult author Richard Brautigan who launched the band into the growing hippie culture. They released an EP on the independent Wee label before signing a contract with Capitol Records in February 1968. The group's lead songwriter was Lawrence Hammond, but all of the members sang vocals. They released two albums before disbanding in July 1969.

Gerry Rafferty ~ Can I Have My Money Back ?

Quote

Can I Have My Money Back ? is the first solo album by Gerry Rafferty. The distinctive cover design was by John Patrick Byrne and was the start of a long working relationship between Rafferty and the playwright. The LP was well received, but performed poorly in charts and sales, in part because Rafferty had just left a well known band, The Humblebums. The album also saw Joe Egan come on board, and the pair formed Stealers Wheel shortly afterwards.
