i remember tom recchion back in the days when he could be seen behind the
counter at poo-bah records in pasadena (mid-70's old town incarnation). 
he's an
amazing talent, as a musician and graphic designer (he designed the black
velvet/dayglo collector's edition reed/cale "songs for 'drella",  among 
many
others...); this should be good!
