I was a freshman in college when I got first wind of this album. My blockmate lent me her cassette tape (yes, cassettes were still mainstream back then) and told me she loved listening to this band.
When I got home, I immediately made a copy of the cassette so I can return the tape the next day. After listening to my recorded tape, this album became an all-time favorite, even until now. Probably, this will remain as one of the top 10 albums, if I were to make a personal list.
All this years, I had to make do with MP3 copies because buying an original one was not a financial priority. I still have the tape copy back home. I keep things to remind myself how far I came through.
The CD shown in the image is a hand-me-down copy. I still can't comprehend the idea of giving up an original copy even if you already ripped your lossless files. Maybe the original owners ran out of shelf space. Who knows? Although in my mind, one thing is for sure: the original owners remained Blind on the 3rd Eye and became deaf on all ears :)))
I guess, the cliché regarding trash and treasures apply here. :) Luckily for this CD, it found someone who will treasure it.
