Burlap and Satin

Another dozen LPs to add to the growing stack, with what reads like a Dolly Parton clunker based on AllMusic's review. I was swayed by a profile in Word or Uncut, and the observation that a lot of her strong albums have tacky sleeves, like White Limozeen. In this case, tacky sleeve, tacky album.

I had no luck finding clean copies of Rolling Stones original Decca 45s - they all appear to have been sandpapered or scratched mercilessly, and I looked through perhaps 30 across three stores.
