So misleading, clickbait pratfall, but I still enjoy them all. Great collection.
There’s nothing misleading about this. I look forward to seeing my old favorites remastered or put on vinyl, or expanded, or whatever. A great source, for me at least. Keep up the great work Matt.
Cindy Wilson’s music is phenomenal. I wish she hadn’t wasted her time and talent in the B-52s.
