It's hopeless.......I'm trolling the interwebs for LPs...................so easy to click click click and have them arrive at my door (much like GASing for Guilds :lol.

I've had this on CD for 22 YEARS (can't believe it's been that long) and just snagged a vinyl copy (from 1990, unopened). It's like hearing it for the first time.

(Plug your ears, geezers) :lol:

And anything you can find by BB King on Modern/RPM - I find King's pre-"Live at the Regal" recordings much better than anything else he's done.
