But make sure to keep this README in place, thank you. I'd also like to encourage everybody to buy this record. A vinyl rip doesn't really convey the great sound of a real vinyl playing on your very own lineage - no matter how good it was made. Also you should support the artists by either buying their stuff or attending their shows - simply make sure that you buy your stuff somewhere where the artists get their revenue and not some major label! ~killjoy
