Cash, Johnny - At San Quentin - Super Hot StamperWe had a blast listening to this album. Cash's banter between the songs is practically as good as the music itself!

Having done this for so long, we understand and appreciate that rich, full, solid, Tubey Magical sound is key to the presentation of this primarily vocal music.

The problem is simple: a glaring lack of bass

When you hear a copy that does all that -- a copy like this one -- it's an entirely different listening experience
