[Comments]
I am honoured to present a first-ever McCannon/Dledin collaboration. The official tracks of the album are sourced from a UK pressing, transferred using my standard setup and cleaned by me. Two bonus tracks are included:
1) an extended stereo version of "(Just Like) Starting Over", sourced from a US promo 12" single (Geffen PRO-A-919);
2) a mono version of the same song, sourced from a US promo 7" single (Geffen GEF49604).
The bonus tracks were transferred and cleaned by Dledin. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank him for his highly professional job.
