Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:21pm

I'm not sure why.It was the regular version from the Collected 3CD set. Maybe there was a problem on your end. I checked the transmission and have stereo coming through.

Anyone else having stereo dropout issues?

If "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" sold in the hundred thousands, the '70s would have been an entirely different world for Frankie Valli! He definitely would have grown an awesome beard and worn sunglasses all the time. Frankie Avalon would then have gotten the "Grease" title tune!
