    Already hearing comments from friends that purchased this and are disgusted with the poor audio quality from a recording dated from 2019. Lack of bass and a “ tinny” type sound.

    We need a full show from '69 of The Who, with the complete Tommy, in 5.1. Well, that's what I want, anyway. No interest in more recent year performance. I'm happy to settle for the original album, and live boots from the Golden Years. Pete has said that he now hates live performance, he only does it for the money, which means it lacks a certain spark.

    Another 2 key released...Melanie Martinez "Portals" & Boygenius' full length debut...got the "Crazy Horse" aka Talbot Molina Lofgren Young record, and it's pretty good but kind of odd...surprised it's on NYA Records but not part of the ORS series in the actual NYA, should be #053...why isn't it??

    I have heard the new Zombies and is surprisingly good. They don't try to sound contemporary yet it doesn't sound old either.
