I had this on vinyl. I lent it to a friend in my home state so he could rip me a digital copy. In fact, I let him take all of my records at the time (probably 2011 or 2012) and he said he would make digital copies to CD, MP3 or whatever I wanted. Anyway, this was the first thing he made for me. I had not heard it in years. I was glad to hear it again and he scanned the sheets that came with it and emailed those to me as well. Then in the summer of 2013 I finally got around to getting a turntable. He asked if I wanted any of the records back and I said only the Styx Special! So he planned on getting it back to me and said he would go ahead and return all of my records. I did not get to Tennessee that year and he did not come to Florida. He said he was planning on dropping them off at my parents when he had time. Anyway, in Nov of 2013 he was killed in a car accident. Pretty tragic event, we had been friends since 1980 when we were kids. His wife would call me in the days and weeks after his death but I never mentioned the records. Then on one phone call she mentioned the records and said "He had a bunch of records are there any you want?". I said "yeah, several of them were mine and if you don't mind I would like to get them back". Then she reneged on the deal and didn't give any of them back. She stopped calling as well because I believe mainly she was calling me for information... Smoking gun kind of stuff and dirt or secrets he may have had. It was quite odd. I kept telling her I was over 500 miles away in a different state so I had no idea what he did on his free time. Before he passed away he told me she hired a private investigator to follow him around. He told me a bit about it and that the guy never found anything on him so it was just a strange situation.

Anyway, glad someone finally posted it on YouTube it's a good listen.
