Haven't heard Tora Tora Tora yet. Anybody here have it? If so, were you glad to get it, or did you just shrug your shoulders when you listened to it?

Personally, I reckon it's a great set of stuff but it'sa probably not worth paying through the nose on eBay for it. If I had some webspace I'd upload it for the world as you can't legitimately get it anymore...

I own a copy of Tora Tora Tora and am more than pleased with it.  The artwork alone is a testament to the record's worth.  I think it stands up there with the trilogy on vinyl and Colossus of Destiny as some of Mackie's best layout.  

All of the tracks are great although the sound quality is spotty at times.  The excerpts from the radio interview and the White Zombie commercial are hilarious (I started an aborted Melvins mixtape with the White Zombie commercial just to throw the intended recipient off).

That being said, I recommend hunting it down only if you are a completist.  It is very difficult to find (I stumbled across my copy at Amoeba...) and very expensive (...and ended up paying $75 for it).  It would be much easier and cheaper to download the tracks or trade with Beto...
