Looks interesting! I'm a big fan of that first Grapefruit album!

Thoroughly enjoying this one at the moment... the "new tape transfer / multitrack mixes" are outstanding! The sound is so clean and clear it's hard to believe these are almost 50 years old - a massive improvement on Repertoire's 2005 release (which I still love, don't get me wrong). Terrific job by RPM!
