Ah, your post made me laugh :-) Thanks for that. I don't know. I
have a sad history with Tapes. Went into a 2nd hand shop with a
"friend" and I spotted a white vinyl copy of Tapes, hauled it out of
the box and proudly held it up. He LEAPT across the shop-floor
yelling "that's mine" and wrenched it out of my hand and bought it
while I looked on in stunned amazement. And the bastard already
has a normal vinyl copy of it anyway.
That didn't help much to imbed my love of Faust. Not their fault, I
know, but the way it happened.
Lesson to be learnt : Always go shopping alone of with people
whose taste does not exactly overlap with yours to avoid trouble.
