Remember we met that guy from SPFC a while back? Here’s an interview with the founder of SPFC, and how he got the Machina II vinyl. Interesting read, and a few gaps in history are being filled in!

Agreed!!

I know every song on that 5-cd compilation like the back of my hand. Some of SP’s greatest songs to date are on that compilation.

sure-

in a way that’s like IT—

but:

DA got this copy of MP and that’s what we’ve got copied now on our hard discs et al…

still:

as far as I know NO copy of the original MP set has surfaced to this very date-
nor have we seen any images of this one!

as this was a present for close-ones and relatives and collegues this might have looked different to/from DA’s copy set…

still curious to see how that one would look

plus: yup – to get a hold of one of those, damn! now: THAT would be the ultimate addition to any collection, right?
