I have this, though it has side 2 on both sides, anyone else have this?
hparchietekt Mar 4, 2019
Totally agree with other reviewers about the quality of this pressing - VERY quiet!
djrich Jul 27, 2018
I have owned DLSLP1 from new and I can say hands down this is the worst pressed sounding official LP i've ever owned
Analogueduplicate Jul 29, 2016
Awful press, You have to crank this one. Superb otherwise.
nlgbbbblth Jul 13, 2016
This is the version I grew up with - Potholes In My Lawn as the closer on side 2. I've copied it to iTunes in the same order.

"The Magic Number" was obviously inspired by "Schoolhouse Rock - 3 Is A Magic Number", written by Bob Dorough.
