Comments

A cut-out hole on the cover.

This vinyl is one of the presents from Görgen Antonsson-san. Thank you so much :)

Inside The Groove

A comical version of “Aesop's Fables” for children's entertainment?

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

It's maybe because I am a Japanese, not native English speaker, that I cannot fully enjoy this album. Few musical interests, full of comical dialogue between the brothers. No fun for me.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

1 out of 10
