Hello Pedro,
First of all, sorry for my English.
Thank you for your welcome message.
I do not understand when you write to me "You can ask from a moderator to change the title…"
What do I have to make exactly?

Thank you also, pout your link Discogs.
I’ve got the original SCAN LP, but I did not have time to work above !!!
I must be also stupid, because I was incabable of uoloader image on my message ;(

Thank you in advance for your answers. Very good day!

Doug.

Douglas Quaid, I sent you a PM.

thanks douglas, a rip from roots!!! 🙂

Great little gem of a share. Actually the original score was written by Gerald Fried and although I haven’t listened to either version fully yet, it seems that this LP is Quincy’s take on some of the original with some of his own inspirations put in as well. I may be wrong, but many thanks for giving me the opportunity to compare the two versions. Greatly appreciated and again many thanks.
