I'm lovin' it. It has bonus tracks too, including "Another Day". I copied the files to a USB stick; the thing is portable and plays without any spinning disc at all. That's supposed to produce a low level of jitter, previously attainable only at great expense. Some of the mixes favor the bass (duh!) and some of the vocals are way back there or in one channel. I'm picking up a few new words here and there. You can hear that the eq, space, and clarity changes from track to track. It not homogenized at all. This is big fun if you are a certain age, and I am.

Instead, they listened to music. But after a while the liquor wore off, Irene's head ached and she found Joni Mitchell insufferable. 'I hate that smug quality, the self-involved journey-of-life thing is what I hate,' Irene said." Anyway, it made me stifle a snort. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
