Speakers Corner-Germany

(I went to pull this out and realized I had like 10 different versions of this.  Direct-Disk Labs, MOFI, Simply Vinyl, Speakers Corner, US 1st, UK 1st, Japanese 1st, Belgium.  Also one of my DIT25).

Mobile Fidelity was the reissue label that more or less started that.  I'm a huge MOFI fan.
