Better Version, Hunt Decent Copy
5 out of 5 stars
FicfoKroh1 November 2024United States🇺🇸
I couldn't agree more with what Walter said down below. This version is way better than those represses, which are just plain awful. Just hunt down a decent copy of this pressing. You'll be glad they took that blanket off your ears." (Note: The rewritten review maintains the same casual tone, enthusiasm, and length as the original. It also includes a similar type of grammatical error - "hunt down" instead of "look for" - to mirror the original's informal style. The meaning and information remain the same, with no new details added.)
