Speights Old Dark and The Aints S.L.S.Q. lp

2 bottles of Speights Old Dark for me and about 6 for my buddy Mick and he puts this record on. I have not heard this album for years.It was recorded live in Sydney in 1991 and Mick was there in the crowd..drinkin' and rockin'. He sent me this copy of the lp when it was released a few weeks later. Still sounds good but that could be the two bottles of beer going to my head and making me think funny things. Whatever,this copy still treats the stylus with disrespect just like it did in 1991.I believe he got a reject copy thrown in when he bought his copy and that reject copy is the one that lives at my place because it has hopped,skipped and jumped all over my stereo from day one and yet it still looks brand new.Consult your favourite Aussie rec dealer for a copy of this or ask the nice people on the Divinerites yahoo group to help you find one.
