Ok c'est arrivé en bon état. Délai d'attente un peu long mais c'est loin l'Amérique!
Rating: - good, but not as good as 'Lost in the Stars'
This might be a five star disc except that the producer, Hal Willner, had already created Lost in the Stars, with some of the same people (Lou Reed, Charlie Haden).
