The Adventures – Two Rivers (Extended Re-Mix) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

NEW Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

**I realize that only just posted this single back in February of this year. Since then I have made some equipment upgrades so I wanted all four singles that I have by The Adventures to all sound the same, and be recorded with the same hardware. I am just weird that way. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this series.

Recorded using:
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable with Ortofon 2M Bronze stylus, Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 phono pre-amp, and ADL GT40a USB DAC.
