"The man from God knows where" has been spinning on my disc for nearly a month now,
and it certainly will for quite a while yet. "Just listened to it" and "listened to
it once" leaves me with the feeling that you guys haven`t done your "homework". Most
classic albums tend to creep under your skin after repeated listenings, and yes, "The
man from God knows where" is a classic. Try again folks.
