BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
Frighteningly Re-Ripped Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on October 15, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first!

Big Hug,
Paul
