    My hopes were high until I read that it might appeal to "fans of fusion, extreme prog and filthy freak out bursting blasts from outer space." img src="http://waxidermy.com/bbs/images/smiles/26.gif"1 b, 21b, 21b, 21I bet they were unreleased for a reason.

    I was in the Mellotronen store a couple of years ago when the owner was bragging about the Sabu master tapes he had, and how they were way better than Afro Temple and all that. I took it with a grain of salt, but I'm glad to see he's putting out stuff, and on vinyl to boot.

    Still need to figure out where this is available - how a Yank can get a hold of it. Even if it's MP3 downloads, anyone got a link?

    So you picked them up after all, Rey?
    I'm guessing the Sabu/Shihab LP is more to your liking than the Burned Sugar LP.

    Yeah, "Arroz Con Leche" is great. I can't wait to play that out 3-4 AM style when people are well drunk and happy.
