This album is missing the first 2 seconds of the first song.

"The first (and best!) song on the CD starts very herky-jerkily as they left off its first two seconds. What a rip off! It's going back and I'm never buying anything off the collectables label again. Album-ruining mistakes aside, this is not one of JGW's better albums anyway. He sounds a lot more produced and formulaic in this outing than on earlier works (Lone Ranger, Ain't That a Bitch, Real Mother For Ya-I suggest you get them on vinyl). "I Don't Want To Be President" and "Mother in Law" are pretty decent tracks, and "What the Hell is This?" is one JGWs best pieces when the beginning of the song is there. The rest of the album is somewhat weak (but still Johnny "Guitar" Watson).



I really hope another label reissues this with a better (and hopefully complete) CD transfer."
