If you have this CD, you know how good it is. If you don't, beware: you will listen to nothing else for months at a time. The lyrics, the vocals, main and backup, and the musicianship will blow you away. I'm no musician and lack the lingo, but the complexity of the music ends up sounding simple, in a good sense, and each time you listen, you'll hear more cool stuff lurking behind the main melody.

This will be my Christmas present to almost anyone who'll get one from me.

And two another has released the album that should be evaluated.

Thank you. The media was about as reliable in 1979 in getting out the message as it is in 2007. Sometimes people only get to hear great work by accident, almost.

So they're doing a rotten job? I've been wondering about that. I don't really get it; the album only needs listening to to get a great review.

Maybe word of mouth will help? Are there websites where fans can put something?

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

If I could only save one record from my collection, it would be that one! It's accompanied me through different phases of my life and every time I listen to it I get something different from it . . .

I bought the vinyl version of "Ghostown" about ten or twelve years ago at a record fair. In 2005, I bought The Radiators` "Cockles and mussels" Best Of which contains all the "Ghostown" songs so the sacred vinyl can finally become a relic ...
