Frank wasn't getting any money from       all that vinyl and the quality of those audience recordings were terrible- the       very thing I sought out in Frank's stuff was the precision of his vision, high       production        standards...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
