I'd been waiting up her in the frozen north so long for the two reissues to
come out that I had the guy in the only decent music store (not a chain store)
order them from the states. Two weeks later or roughly a month after the actual
release date I finally got them in.  Guess what - the infamous skip.
I brought it back and he ordered another one - the Canadian pressing - FINALLY
being made available. The day I came in to pick it up he showed me the ICE
article saying that the discs skip on certain players. I took the new disc
anyway as I was damn sure that it would also skip if the disc skips on
CERTAIN PLAYERS. It was sad proof that I didn't just have a fluke bum disc.
But a disc with a slight flaw - annoying as it - was better than no disc at
all.  Surprisingly though the disc played perfectly.

THERE IS A GOD.
