Thank you SO much for the rip.
I had this LP in high school, and it saved me from small town blandness and boredom.
I still have it!
(but no record player)

Thanks for helping to keep this album alive. Folks might be interested to know that we're doing a limited red vinyl pressing (450 copies) to coincide with a Feb. 11 2010 show at Cafe du Nord in SF. Some version of all the bands will perform, along with some surprises that we're still working out.
