A guilty pleasure here in Valhalla too. How much?!
Good to know that I am not on my own 
It is a bargain at £85, considering what the package includes it isn't actually bad value, not quite sure how I will play the tape though.
Its good you asked people to "go gentle" on you Paul

His recent job on 'The Yes Album' is an absolute beauty.
John.
Couldn't agree more really John, if there is one man to do it justice it is Steven Wilson, can't see it happening though unfortunately.
