Customer Reviews
Well, It's On CD At Least...
In this age, I would have hoped a fully remixed version would have been done, but you can't have everything. For starters, if you've heard of that 'horrible mix job' of the original album, that's the mix used here (sounds mono most of the time, but close listening reveals MINIMAL, and I mean minimal stereo separation). Maybe there weren't any tapes available for that purpose? Who knows. Anyway, this is a good album, it's no INDIAN WAR WHOOP or MORAY EELS. . . but instead it's a twisted country-rock album with occasional relapses of Rounder craziness. If you're not used to the Rounders this may be an odd album for you since other band members take vocals (Stampfel and Weber only get half the album), but on it's own merits, and if one can cast aside the bother of the mixing, GOOD TASTE IS TIMELESS may well prove to be, well, timeless.

Finally the Wait is Over!!
I think it's one of the finest Country Western records ever made. When I read the linar notes on this CD I was shocked when Peter Stampfel hinted it might not be his favorite record. A bold statement! I addmit I'm somewhat prejudice having purchased my first copy in 71, wearing it out & finding my second copy in the late 80's @ a record show & wearing it out. This the way C&W should be. It's not the processed, souless stuff from todays C&W radio. It's a toe tapper from begining to end. Fun songs,well written & played. It's in my top 5 C&W records of all time. If you just found the Rounders this is the one to own!!.
