So funny that you picked 801. In my early record shopping days, many was the time I would pick that one up in the store and wonder "is this any good?" I had no way to hear it and there was always something else to get so I didn't take the risk. A few months ago, I read a 5 star review of the reissue in Mojo and decided I had to hear it. Thanks to iMeem I was able to stream the whole album and fell in love. Naturally I bought it and have been blowing the minds of friends and family alike! To think I could have been listening to it for over 30 years...
I had the album years ago. Wow. Gotta get it!
