The frat house across the street used to crank this album when it came out, not sure what the system was but it was block-crunching loud. The album started that killer wave of great guitarists and singers and albums with only one or two bad songs. I want to go through my cassette collection and find the older tapes, they were cranking out VH Tapes for years, I'm not sure what years I have for this one.
Haha! Awesome! Well I hope you find some of your old tapes! This one appears to be a 1978 original and it still sounds so good! Though I won't lie, it started getting stuck a bit so I should bake it to see if that loosens it up a bit.
I have boxes of my tapes, I never got rid of them, it's just a matter of pulling them out and looking them over. Sometimes I get stuck researching them, with the internet now it's fun to see all the different "pressings."
