Comments and Reviews

Record Collector 3rd Apr 2024		I do have this album its a classic best way to listen to this is with the lights switched off.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS ● 15th Apr 2019		The booklet that came with the USA release was much better then the Aussie one. Consequently I stocked both local and US imports to let the customer decide which one they wanted. CBS borrowed my copy of the original radio broadcast and used it in radio adverts to promote this release.
Lee Wrecker 31st Mar 2016		Dun Da Da Dun Oowee Ooo Ehhhh (my version of the motif in the music) Hi Whassup, this wasn't here the other day (just checked and it's been up for months - I have got confused with CD version) or when I started doing my scans. If I'd known I'd have just done the cover but I've doggedly ploughed on and scanned the whole thing. So the gist of this is that I will upload my scans anyway and put them up for moderation. Congratulations on getting the whole thing done with a camera and creating the listing. I've noticed that you've been getting a lot of Australian albums in which is great because there are only a few of us regularly cataloging for Australia. I had got all my vinyl up to date last Nov. but lucked into a a couple boxes two weeks ago that were going to the tip and this album was in one. So now I have about a hundred more to put in and hope to knock them off in the next month so I can just do new stuff again. Anyway, I'll get back to the scanner but keep those Australian albums coming in. I'll be adding some label variants and a different back cover to your entry of After The Gold Rush tomorrow but at least I know that that is there - this one caught me by surprise a bit (it shouldn't have). Cheers, Lee.
