Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"
as regards the above-mentioned site, all i can say is CAVEAT EMPTOR. some egregious and incorrect claims have been made in the past regarding reissues. a very effective salesman, to be sure. got a good amount of my money until i wised up. YMMV. 
Neil Young - Like a Hurricane
