Stop what? Its about goddamn time we get the original vinyl mix of Ruben.

Stop? It's for this kind of stuff that I keep supporting ZFT (for the Project/Objects, I didn't like at all stuff like the Birthday Bundles and the way they treat coverbands, but we're getting off topic)

"I hope they all get an indigestion, I hope, hope, hope, hope, hope!"

I want this!

I'll be glad to have this, since my LP and vinyl rip suffer from insufferable hiss/click/pop syndrome.

Is it the one with Chad Wackerman drums on? That one sounds terrible. Blasphemy if you ask me. I´m glad I have the LP version.
