Re: Question about an Atlantics LP

Jeff (bigtikidude) - 12 Sep 2005 23:10:15

Ivan,
How did I know you were gonna answer my question.
HHMMMMMMM????? I wonder/ :)
Anyhow, I sw the bombora album on e-bay and although it looks
similar. I have to say it's not Identical to the one I saw.
And those tracks don't ring a bell either.
Now I'll have to go look at it again
I'm still not going to pay 45 for a beat to hell record. But
maybe a bit if it's a harder to find one.
How many cd's did repritore records do of the Atlantics?
were they 2 fers or what. are all the tracks the same as the
Cannetoad/CBS cds?
I wanna get all the good stuff possible. Is the 2 Cannetaod
sufficient?
thanks,
Jeff(bigtikidude)
