Takes me back to my first CD listening experiences. I listened to this album so much, and relistening now and listening in HI-FI headphones, I can't believe how good it is. Second half is probably my favourite — the way the tracks flow together—I always loved the Mean Mr. Mustard + Polythene Pam combo, but really Golden Slumbers + Carry that weight might be my fav combo.
