liszt - concerto pf 2

Do you mean like the covers left lying around or is wreckage some kinda software or what.

the former. stuff i had to resleeve while cleaning up.

It's from 2010 and I wish I'd heard it in time for list consideration, but whatever. Fun southern-tilted garage rock from Athens, GA.
