Anonymous said...: Ah, The Redskins. I was one of those wary at the time, but with hindsight, I was wrong to be so. My collections only Redskins record - the 12" of (Burn It Up) Bring It Down (This Insane Thing) gains more cred weight with each passing year.

Thanks, Carole.; November 23, 2008 at 12:30 AM
