If you direct people from this site to msn.com there should be a really good reason. Indeed it is: Christgau has written reviews about Langford/Mekons stuff before, but this a specially nice one.  Read it and then go to Verse Chorus or Bloodshot and order it.

As Robert Christgau says: That the package sells for barely more than what a CD costs is another reason why I love him.
