Elizabeth ★★★★★

Wasn't expecting the full 1977 session to sound this warm on vinyl, but the lavender pressing is dead quiet between tracks. Finally getting the songs that got cut from the '79 release makes this worth the wait.

Robert ★★★★★

Only three songs made the original 1979 release, so hearing the full session on lavender vinyl is a treat. The pressing is quiet and warm, and the unreleased cuts fit right in with the ones I already knew.

Thomas ★★★★★

The extra tracks finally make this session feel like a full album instead of a teaser. Hearing the complete 1977 recordings on lavender vinyl is a genuinely different experience than the 3-track version I grew up with.
