Happy New Year DjPaulT and all of you fabulous BTG readers!!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and got what they wanted off their wish lists! I really had a nice time and even got a Christmas present I never knew I wanted. What I mean is, is this album, courtesy from you, Paul! I had this album once and I remember recording it on a TDK metal tape for the best quality. It’s been years since I’ve heard it and I am so surprised that Paul has ripped it so we can all hear it again. I… Read more »
