I remember buying a first pressing of this in high school and couldn't believe how bad a Gucci Shoes could look like. It made sense, crappy production on a good medium still makes for bad shape. I think the only thing worse than GTR (vs. other prog albums of the same family of players) was "3" with Robert Berry, Emerson, & Palmer. Thanks for the video, I don't think I've ever seen it before.I bought the vinyl when it was released originally. Haven't seen this Gucci Shoes since then either if I recall correctly.
This thread reminds me I need to listen to this again soon.I originally bought the Gucci Shoes and the whole thing sounded like inner groove distortion. Then I got the Gucci Shoes and it sounded the same way. I got my GTR mini lp today. Given that it's a bad recording the mini lp sounds definitely better than the One Way Gucci Shoes . It's not so loud and harsh and sounds a bit more decent. But I doubt if it's worth to spend so much money on it unless you are a big GTR fan or a crazy Gucci Shoes collector like me!
