    I used to listen to this record with my friends, when we smoked hash in the 8:th grade, -78. Today I came across it,I payed 10 kroner- equivalent to 1€ at the Salvation Army. But hey.. I got a light blue inner sleeve. “DZ” at the dead wax. Anyone else who knows about a light blue inner? I’m sure it belongs to “I Robot”. Colors are too “matching”.. Anyway. All the best from Stockholm!

      Awesome sounding LP, with a razor-sharp yet spacious presentation rendered on whisper-quiet vinyl.

        One of the best soundings records in my collection. Never heard the MoFi 2x45rpm but if these are way better than this one I will be mind boggled. For the prices they ask on discogs it is a no-brainer. Do yourself a favour and buy it!

          Blown away by how good a fairly clean copy of this record costs, for $5.00 CDN it was a steal in my mind.
