Minulla ei ollut kumpaakaan levyä vielä FinnArctic-aikoina, vaan lainasin Sonores Antiquin LP:n kirjastosta, siirsin sen koneelle ja laitoin jakoon. Pari-kolme vuotta myöhemmin löysin Kampin Levykauppa Äxästä kappaleen, jonka takakannesta puuttuu bändikuva ja kotelon sisältä se iso vihko. Plääh, mutta sainpahan itse musiikin sentään jollain oikealla levyllä. Ei tarvinnut tyytyä enää itse tehtyyn CD-R-kopioon.

Joulukuussa 2013 Tavastian levymessuilla löysin tuon toisen, paremman kappaleen, jossa on vihko tallella ja bändikuva takakannessa.
