Thanks for this underground compilation.
Marcos
eh... "Grey Man" stops halfway through the song and "The Sun Shines From His Eyes" switches to a completely different song for about 5 seconds, then goes back.
at least both songs were comped elsewhere
That's strange tickle,
I proved it and the files seem to be ok. Has anybody else the same problem? If it is so, please post a comment.
Thanks for making this available- I'd been looking out for it on eBay for ages...last time it came up it sold for over $100!!! Crazy price.
I've since found out from a Sweet Floral Albion review that it was only ever issued as a CD-R (but advertised as a proper CD when it went on sale) and the reason "Grey Man" ends abruptly is there was no room left on the disc for the 2nd half!
Shoddy to say the least- I shall strike it off my wishlist straight away and enjoy this digital copy!!
Fantastic album! Thanks so very much! Tickle was right, "Grey Man" does cut off before the end. Fortunately, that song can be found in its entirety on the album "Voyage Thru the Sugarcube," which is posted at the Twilightzone blog. Thanks again!
Steven
Fan-bloody-tastic comp.!!!
