Actually the sound is pretty good (just had a cool 'hipness-of-vinyl'
article in the local paper this sunday (http://www.mercurycenter.com); nice
picture of the cutting lathe at Fantasy Records in Berkely (aka Dave
Brubek's label)) and Keb disses Fatboy in the linernotes, but, calling him
(fatboy) young must mean that Keb is in his 50s or 60s considering Norman
Cook is over 40. Though the liner notes are an amusing read--he must have
many enemies in the music world, but, obvously he doesn't care.
