Dean Winchester 09-11-2005, 11:51 PM yea I agree a lot with Graffiti Bridge. I didn't get the album until after I saw the movie on HBO and I saw the cassette (this was 1992, cassettes were still "ok" then I guess, lol) in a $3.99 bin and ended up playing the sucker non-stop. I paid full-price for Diamonds And Pearls before then, but yet I listened to GB a lot more.
