Comments and Reviews

Bodston SUBS 12th Jun 2014		That takes me back. My Dad used to have this in his collection. I wonder where that went?
Graham7 11th Jun 2014		Front/back covers now added. This is an amazing cover (thumbs up: G&L), the rings on the front change as the cover is tilted in the light. The back looks almost playable!
