Well, I got the Rock Candy Records reissue of "Beatin' The Odds" in the mail today and I must admit I'm a little disappointed. Apparently they used a vinyl as the source material because you can hear the (I don't know the term for it, help me out someone) "drag" of the record. It almost sounds like a tape is dragging over some of the songs. I hope that makes sense to someone. That really sucks because this is a KILLER record.
On the other hand, it has 4 vintage Farrar live songs as a bonus. I'm not sure if they were previously unreleased though. The CD dates them as from 1980, but their website lists them as 1981, so I have no clue.
