Thanks again Cliff, and a special shout out to the always fab Mojo Magazine, I've posted a bunch of their fine CD inclusions before, but I'm sure I don't have em all (I'll have to check, maybe we can get the whole series/collection up at some point? Anyone have a majority of the Mojo releases? If so we can cross-compare them against what I already have and we'll try to maybe compile the whole series.
War in a Babylon, perfect Sunday jammin'on this Labor Day weekend!! Thanks.
