I love Joe South

I'm thinking you're probably about right on the number to have pressed. I'm not expecting to make any money on the LPs, I'd just like to cover the cost of them if we can. We have some legendary studio musicians playing on it so we thought it would be nice to have some LPs , they seem to be more collectible than CDs
