every early TD and Froese album in some form somewhere...
it might even be jerome froese... i can't remember...

my "aqua" vinyl in on virgin [domestic promo pressing]
very trippy stuff.
recorded using some sort of "artificail head" stereo process.
[mentioned in the liner notes IIRC]

i do still have most of the receipts for my old synths,
along with the repair tags, and a pile of old roland
and korg product catalogues and one-sheets... gear porn.

there was a comedian a few years back talking about
a particularly popular use of record sleeves way back
when... it was really funny, but trying to retell a joke
is usually a bad idea... it was something about:
there used to be these things called records...
and... how pot used to have seeds in it...
