The Who Quadrophenia 140g Vinyl 2LP

I purchased the Classic Records 140g vinyl Quadrophenia reissue from Todd The Vinyl Junkie a few months ago. While musically it sounded great, there was a bit more background noise than I care to accept in new vinyl, obviously most noticeable in between songs. Cleaning the record on my VPI didn't improve it. Todd gave me a full refund, but told me to keep the record since Classic Records had gone out of business. I then purchased a copy of the Geffen 180g version, which is fantastic. So I've got this Classic Records version, played once and still in plastic. I don't want to sell it because of the pops/crackles in the quiet passages, but I think it makes for a great Karma!

So............

First person to guess who I picked in my bracket to win the NCAA's gets it. Warning: I know nothing about college hoops, and picked my bracket choices by flipping a coin. I'll give you a hint - it's not Louisville!

Edit: One guess per post. After a wrong guess, you must wait 3 hours before posting another guess.
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Nope! Why do I have a feeling this will be won on guess #64? No one has even guessed any of my Final Four yet! Remember, this was all determined by coin toss....
