i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him

He says his family is on the road with him which is great, he's mostly playing weekends and keeping weeknights free. A good way to split the difference so he's not doing back-to-back nights as the months fly by, but I hope he knows he's not gonna let us down if he needs to catch his breath

Some of the remix choices I'm fine with, some I'm not too enthused about.
But I'll be real I bought this mostly for the art packaging, which might be one of the best LP packaging in my collection, and to have "Speed Kills" on a physical release. It's the full length version too, not the edit!
The bass is THICK on this pressing. Memories of cranking up the MAXXBASS on my Sony discman were strong.
