Over the weekend I notified two friends I could think of off the top of my head who stood a chance of wanting the "Follies" CD -- and neither has responded. Summer vacations? Mad at the world? Who knows. But I did my duty. My duty is done.
I posted of my adventure with the LP late last night. In summary, the sound was not only DOA, I had a warped-sounding off-center pressing.
Everyone was going cheap on pressings by this time. I love the nice Capitol discs of the late 1950s, early 1960s, with the rainbow on black label design.
