    Just listening to Joni's Miles of Aisles. Incredible sound quality. Great set, brings back memories of when I saw her in London in1974, backed by Tom Scott. Set is worth it for this live album alone.

    Have had the Smithereens “The Lost Album” on pre-order with Amazon since early August. Now all shipping is delayed until the 2nd week in October for an estimated Oct.11th delivery. Other proper record stores have their stock and I wouldn’t recommend Amazon for this release even though the band’s own web site link points to Amazon. (That and the item is only available from secondary sellers now.)
