It blows me away "pun intended" that 1983 & 1984 are not beloved like say 87/89 or 77, The boys were on fire in 84 and the previous year. Also JGB was on fire in 82/84 but they never release these years, Its the best kept secret.

This is why I Love 84' was just listening to the best of 1985 Bird Songs & this is better. Says a lot as I also love 85' Spring 1984 was epic imo!

Epic! I like some 83-84 versions BUT this is Alabama Getaway just about perfect.
