Ah... You were the one I didn't bid against. I have seen the US Gold LP perhaps 3 to 1 to the Japanese pressing but the Japanese will have better vinyl. I have the 8 track and can live with that for now. Was actually one of my first Q8s from a local record ahop for about 10 bux. Got Cat Stevens Greatest in the same batch of 5 tapes. Now that I have access to most of the quad reords and tapes I want, I have decided not to get too greedy and just buy when it is affordable and convenient. Now, just to save up for new styli and get a Q8 deck wirking that suits me. I have at least 8 or 9 that all have something wrong.
