Concluding this blog's slight detour into the Prestige Moodsville series, here's the rather elusive 'The Bad and Beautiful' from Sam Taylor!  Material is a bit slight, but it's well played by some
great underrated players.  A bit nicer fidelity from the original and rather rare Prestige Moodsville stereo pressing.
