It would be interesting to hear the original version
of the album - wasn't it all re-recorded for some
reason?

Anyway I don't have a problem with the production - I
just don't like the songs on it. I've tried listening
to it many times and it does nothing at all for me. 
And I HATE that plinkity-plonk jazz organ in the
background! 
I'm afraid TMTYL has joined my other 'hardly ever
played' CDs (like Zones) :)
