Musically, it's not his top-notch work, but the sound quality on this vinyl is absolutely phenomenal. It truly amazed me. I was about to toss it out since I grabbed it for a steal, but the moment the needle dropped, I was blown away by the incredible dynamics and presence packed into those tiny grooves.
