sidewinder Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Definitely of interest - when I read it was by ‘Real Gone Music’ I was thinking that it was by the other lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I got the green vinyl version they put out a little earlier this year. Looks like VMP also did a color variant. Great record. The legit RGM label does some good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark13 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Bought the Japanese reissue on account of of rave reviews here and gave it a few spins. In all honesty, I do not quite understand the fuss. It's a fine record but not the unequivocal masterpiece it's claimed to be. At least not to my ears.

colinmce Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I think about the Joe Daley box he was working on all the time. Still hope someone can take the reins on that one day, but I'm not counting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Wasn't it something about a change in policies of his licensor that made it impossible or too expensive to license more reissues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
