I'll have to give remastered "Baba" a relisten. Hey, remember that horrible remix of "Baba"
from the '80's where someone put some kind of echo effect on Moon's drums which made
them sound real weak? Remember this? I used to hear it on the radio & it made me pretty
mad because that was *extremely* obvious & uncalled for. It might've been the first MCA
cheapo CD version. I'm not sure 'cause I never bought it!
