Pass In Review

11/23/2008 Dr Wingnut Things to find Comments Off on Pass In Review

I was watching the latest Looney Tunes Golden Collection (Volume 6) with the WWII cartoons on it, and remembered this really great LP that my parents owned.  I had made a cassette from it and I wondered if it had ever been released on CD or if there are MP3s of the tracks anywhere.  It’s really an awesome album, and the cassette copy I have is really noisy.
