Back to the original topic (sorta), Gibson deserves a boatload of ridicule for these monstrosities: the "zoot suit" Hideous!!

Not much constructive to add, but the first post in this thread is about 50 kinds of awesome! That first album was pretty great

Seriously!! It's been an eternity.

So how is the CD of Summerteeth that comes with the new LP? Does it sound better than the old Reprise disc, or is it just a repressing of the existing cd (identical mix/mastering)?

But lyrically is where the battle is definitively won by Tweedy. Songs like One Wing, Country Disappeared, I'll Fight and Ev
