The playing is lean, mean, and always built on a groove.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secret Stash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68228618354967,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/The_Cats_-_The_Cats_fc09d701-318f-45b5-a847-26b7ebe4320f.webp?v=1793975838","url":"https:\/\/sisyphusrecordworks.com\/products\/the-cats","provider":"Sisyphus Record Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
