I agree with Mike, sometimes it is worth looking through 2,000 cutouts
for that one you've been looking for for years. Just cause it's a cut-out
doesn't mean its not any good.  An lp will become a cutout not just
because it is not any good, or slight defects, sometimes it is just a matter
of overproduction on the record companies part.
