Listening to these mp3's will sure beat breaking out my old moldy sleeve to get to that vinyl! Great record from start to finish. Thanks.

Wonderful album!! The sound in some tracks is a little messed up, though (especially 5 and 6, also 3)... could it possibly be dusty turntable needle (sounds a little like it), or is that just how the lp is?
Thank you!!
