Another 95 cent(after tax) pull. It was so filthy I had to take it to the sink. Surprisingly no scratches under the layers of dirt I had to clean off. Sounds great now.

Now time for a classic. This pressing isn't great. I might need to find a better version at some point, but it was $10 new so can't complain too much.
