That solved my long-standing problem (on my only computer, a desktop PC). Thank you!
 

The album, which has never before been issued in any form, will be released on April 16 in a special limited-edition hand-numbered two-LP set on Record Store Day , and as a deluxe two-CD set and a digital edition on April 22. That's so convoluted that it took me a while to get that this year...

  Thank heavens the scandalous news below is coming to light early in the schedule of primaries and caucuses. If you're planning to vote in a Democratic primary or caucus and you've been feelin' the Bern, it's not too late for you to back away! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5451/9469...
