    If any kind soul has a high quality WAV/FLAC rip of this you could certainly make my day with a private message and I would be happy to send you a little dough. Yoshimura ain't getting the money for these CD resales anyway.

              Is there anybody who has some more information on the recording process of Yoshimura, and the instruments he used to create his wonderful music? I wish to learn. I suspect a yamaha DX7?
