Discogs also shows an entry for open reel tape. The only other “full album” cover that I know of is Camper Van Beethoven’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk.”

the whole "Let It Be" album covered by Laibach comes to mind as well... and it's definitely a weird album, being by Laibach, with crazy music arrangements and that impossible to forget lead voice timbre!
I'd say you have to give it a try. ;)

Yeah, but it's weird. How's it make any money? Lots of great old top 40 tunes, Joe Cocker, Beatles, Carpenters, Heart, etc. Very little DJ interruptions, in Spanish. Can't say I've ever heard a sales ad. Granted I don't understand the DJ, because of the language, but how do they make $ to operate?
Locally in Ohio, IHeartRadio has taken over so many stations and it's too damn commercialized.

there are ads .... but few and far between...you ask a question i have often asked myself...i first came here in 05...and have been a radiodos fan since discovery...they often play uninterrupted music for lengthy periods...they must have a money tree in the back lot...
 
they do have english djs...they appear to be older expatriots...they often play remotely from tamarindo..an extremely popular surf/beach community....tons of tourists...over 2 000 000 tourists visit annually...airtravel...dont know how many visit by cruise ship or cross the land border...
but i do understand why it is a popular place to vacation...the people are very good to me here...

CCR....The Concert.....A reissue from 1980 on Fantasy Records, Berkeley CA. They did a good job, sounds excellent.

I have a copy of that on vinyl. Bought it brand new when the jacket had "at Albert Hall" printed on it. Never did open it - still sealed. Consequently, I've never heard that recording before.
 
Velvet Underground on the new DAC. Been hopping across some tunes I'm familiar with and my initial impression is that it's pretty transparent but a little light in the bass. Still trying to compare files (I have several different digital copies of Hotel California from Hell Freezes Over, for example, plus my HQ vinyl copy) and there is some variation between them, plus the vinyl is now played on the new Pyxi preamp, which has a better bass response so there's that.

But it plays with the new Mac OS so it's already better than the Tascam.
