    My copy has the labels on the wrong side. "Then" is the live at union chapel songs and "Now" is the original studio songs. Came direct from the man and was signed by him too, so swings and roundabouts and all that. Trebley AF on the A (actually B) side

      Yeah there's something about the A side that feels really cold. This is my first Bragg record so I have nothing to compare it to, but it sounds like the guitar is pulled out of it. (The B side is very full and well mixed though)

        is it just my record player or is the treble so dang loud on this record?
