A few weeks ago I ask myself: can it get any worser ? Yes, here we have it. The only thing looks good is the cover.

I often wonder about decisions made by the UK government about a multitude of events and circumstances and likewise wonder why projects such as this are offered. I have often put down my opinion of 'Star' in a favourable manner as I am totally convinced they are basically true fans and their creations take time, but what is the point of what we have here, do they sell any,... do they make anybody any worthwhile money or any money at all - I end up totally perplexed as to why why why.

Wow! The only thing missing is a 600 page hard cover book to complete this incredible and of course limited release! The cow has been milked for so long, it's actually running on water!

Why mono? Why this? Great cover photo tho.

Why? Because some people think the crappier it sounds the more people will think it's a collector's item!
