Greetings Andy et al,      I once had an  LP copy of Ramases'
"Space Hymns" I believe  . Only reason I bought it was the wonderful
artwork of Roger Dean . The LP also folded-out to 2-3X orig. size.
......You can't do that with a tiny CD booklet......

Alas, I can't recall anymore if that Ramases LP featured Tron on it...
Anybody out-there can expand on this ??
