Heh - but I have not done the very same!    There's a fair amount of
vinyl I would willingly now go in search of again.....

I'm worried tho' that I find myself recommending "In The Beginning"!
"Text of Festival"  is excellent and ItB does have chunks of ToF in it
(if I remember correctly), but I didn't realise I'd quite gone that far!

Clearly beginning to lose it here.....
