Alright, which version is the best to get on this? I'm assuming the Plain is garbage as usual? Is the 2018 Sony-We Are Vinyl the way to go?

Sorry if it's been answered, I scanned through and couldn't find it.

Finally have a chance to sit down with this…

My wife summed up my initial thoughts very succinctly “very nineties in there.”

My wife summed up my initial thoughts very succinctly “very nineties in there.”

Yup and there is nothing wrong with that. I was about 30lb lighter and a hell of a lot more hair on my head.

Coming from her, not even remotely a dis. Her music tastes are pretty much - the nineties and pre1980s rock.
