Hah! I didn't even notice that. I guess I can't type and watch football at the same time.

It happens all the time; I think people are just lazy sometimes. I see the one with Art Blakey, but the song is “The Sky is Crying,” and there’s the one with the picture of Bob Marley, but the song is “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” (which has caused an uncountable amount of confusion).

Chicago Blues Today. Vol 2. (3 Vol set. This one is stereo. I have a mono set too.)
The mono set is best IMO. I will likely flick this stereo set off.

I have Vols. 1-3 on CD. I’d much rather have the vinyl; except, James Cotton signed the CD...
