Super Hot StamperTraffic
Welcome to the Canteen
(Item #: traffwelco_1907_2)
Our Price: $199.99
- Excellent sound from start to finish for this Island import pressing with both sides earning solid Double Plus (A++) grades; super quiet vinyl too!
- These sides are big, rich and wonderfully present with plenty of space and an energy level that's off the charts
- "... the playing was exemplary, and the set list was an excellent mixture of old Traffic songs and recent Mason favorites... Welcome to the Canteen's status as only a semi-legitimate offering was emphasized by the release, after a mere two months, of a new Traffic studio album on Island (The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys) that undercut its sales. But that doesn't make it any less appealing as a summing up of the Winwood/Mason/Traffic musical world" - All Music, 4 Stars
