As you say, it looked like chipped beef on burnt toast, regurgitated. Can't remember good or bad about the music, though I remember "early" Dave Mason fondly. b.s.

Per Bill's comment, clipped from the AMG: Alone Together represents Dave Mason at his peak. Later releases would betray lyrical shallowness, forced rhymes and cliched guitar licks. But here, everything comes together perfectly. The original vinyl release of Alone Together was also noteworthy for the marble grain of the record itself -- as the record played on the turntable, the tonearm appeared to be floating through the clouds. -- Jim Newsom, All-Music Guide
Re: Butt Ugly Vinyl
Speaking of Butt Ugly vinyl, do y'all remember picture discs? I got me a Sex Pistols "Bollocks" one. It's gonna make me rich one day, or just collect dust in my record collection for the rest of my life. Neal Weiss np - Hole
