Soft Machine 3 was one of my first albums I bought at Wallachs Music City in Topanga Plaza
I pick up this double album see pictures of dudes with hair down to their shoulders and each record side of this double album was a single song. I bought it and I was hooked.....

Damn. Third was one of my first LPs, too! And i, too, was hooked! I'm BLASTING it through the Surround Master now. Exquisite. Return in Power, Mike!
