A PURE artist, just the way I like them!

I had a hell of a time getting this, Message Of The Universe from 1986, the first album by Mu (7) from 1971. I recently bought a reissue of the latter with 4 bonus tracks, but the idiots made it with the digital version, and it's compressed!!!

There's a CD reissue of an unknown date, with seven bonus tracks and one less song, which isn't bad, but the music of this great artist deserves better!

Enjoy!
