Add MHO to yours Achim. I hand't listened to this in some years - my copy
of the CBS LP (which I bought the day it came out) being almost worn out -
until I picked up the CD 2nd hand a year or two back. I "sampled" it at
around 11 p.m. and was so gripped I simply had to finish.
Of course, you and I must be fibbing.....
