I've owned it for over 20 years, it was shite when I got it, it's still shite today. IMO of course. There are a few tone deaf weirdos around who claim to like it (yeah right) and I'm sure they're about to pop up and disagree with me. |
Well said...I can't stand Ummagumma.
Haven't taken it off the shelf for many years.
