Pretty shocking the amount of scuffs and fingerprints came on the vinyl. I got it sealed too. Luckily, all the junk on it doesn't ruin the listening experience. Besides the occasional crackle it's pretty quiet. No obnoxious pops. -
My favourite Bonnie record. Great songs and top notch audio. The music is like a river flowing. 5/5

'"The Seedling" owes its name to Thomas Campbell's movie.'
One wonders at Billy from deepest America is spending time watching retro-styled California surf movies.
