That was awesome.  Filled in a few gaps of the pressing process like how the masters / mothers were made.  Funny seeing bare hands and cotton balls and a gallon of acetone.  Silly me, I used to wash my hands in the stuff when I was a kid getting resin off from making surfboards.  Got a few albums that were pressed at that plant.  They are usually held in high regard.

Rasputin's in Berkeley did a lot of commentary on their little dividers. When Styx' Mr. Roboto came out, they stuck a pallet of them by the front door with a sign {paraphrasing except for the profanity which I remember pretty clearly}: "We just want to make it easier on you kiddies who aren't going to buy anything good while you're here, just this crap from a crap band BUT DON'T THINK OUR SHAMING YOU IS HAVING ANY EFFECT ON SALES BECAUSE THIS FUCKER IS SCREAMING OUT THE FUCKING DOOR! Thanks."

I'm trying to resist the temptation to replace my repress of Houses of the Holy. It sounds pretty good. Probably not nearly as good as the RL.

Now I know what all the talk was about. This is the most dynamic, mind blowing, 3D rock record I've ever heard.
