Hey Jeff ,
Speaking of that era. I remember a guy at high had an LP by Pete Brown =
and His Battered Ornaments - called "A meal you can shake hands with in =
the dark" complete with Cheap Thrills type cartoon on the back. CD's =
just can't compete with that sort of artwork. Now that would be a =
collectors piece.
