    This thing sounds really cool and is great fun to listin to. The music, as mentioned below, is really essential. Packaging, artwork and booklet are really well done. The quality of the audio is as good as possible. It’s not audiophile quality, but as earlier said, i really like it !

      Reasonably lo-fi recording, BUT...the music is a revelation! There's trace elements of ideas and motifs that would surface in a year or two on their canonically beloved works, and...their arrangements and treatments on these cover songs are wholly unique. Errico is mighty here!

      Obviously, beautiful package, and...the booklet is essential.
