Re: Laswell's rarest

Haha...yeah I searched forever for Rituals and it was eventually given to me by Nic Bullen...this was way back...I had sent him some music so he sent me that one from his collection in return...Silent Plankton I found in Japan(love that record)...

You lucked out on the Mijinko...sometimes it works out like that...

Always been curious what YLA-mago sounded like...never was able to track that one down...

Rituals was one of those oddities I thought I'd search forever for and just came across it randomly in a used CD store for something like $22. I'm sure everyone has a 'find' story. I miss those days with actual brick and mortar places.

Which they did because I was able to fax them a letterhead for the promotions company I worked for. Total luck. The best part was not only that it was free, but they sent it second day air to the States!
