Nice score on the TT Quick. It's a great album and should have been HUGE! I also recommend their first EP and their follow-up "Sloppy Seconds".

........and YES! The MAD Ep ROCKS. This is the style that Stay Hard and The Pack is Back should have been in! I found the TT Quick quite enjoyable.

Picked up Styx Equinox on 180 gram vinyl in the mall. The A&M albums were released on Friday, since I own decent copies of the rest Equinox was the only one I needed. I can say I am not impressed at all, at least with the packaging. Everything looks like an original release and even the inner sleeve is paper. I was hoping for at least a poly-lined inner sleeve. The vinyl itself was covered in fingerprints and debris. I almost returned it but decided to wash it first and that seemed to do the trick. Played "Midnight Ride" because a saw an imperfection "speck" on the vinyl and it did not skip so I assume it will be OK. Will give it a full listen tonight.

Playing Side 1 right now. Sounds really good but I am not sure if is a remaster. As I said it was the only vinyl from A&M I was missing. I still need the Wooden Nickel albums. Maybe UMe will eventually get those reissued. Just flipped to Side 2. Midnight Ride kicks!
