  1. As long as I can see, you had another post about the Gervay Briot album, but it was removed – and actually there’s in nothing about it in the whole internet (only a russian site with some loose tracks, but not complete). In the Discogs page is appears as 1991 release, not 1985. Can you post it again and help to solve it all?

    1. the artist asked for the download to be taken down, which is why it was removed, and judging by the record being blocked for sale on discogs it seems as if he very much wants it to stay offline. i’m honestly not sure about the release year, though i see it listed as 1985 in a few places so possibly the 1991 date refers to another pressing? fingers crossed that all the secrecy means there’s a reissue forthcoming!
