As far as I can make out, this was never officially released to the public but was released to libraries and other institutions.

If anyone can fix me up with a copy of this (my Bill Laswell holy grail) I shall be indebted for life!

    I'm looking...pulling out all the stops trying to find it. Any chance you have access to a University library? It's possible they may have it or can get it from another University.

    Holy Grail is right! But it's gotta be out there somewhere.

    I think it really only went to Japanese libraries. But I can ask my son to try at his uni...one of my followers is living in Japan, will ask him and also I know someone who works in a library in PNW! Who knows maybe we will strike lucky.
    I have been searching for years. Actually just thought that I might try the big fat satanist (he is usually good for the Japanese stuff). Dave the silent watcher pops in on occasion to this blog so he might be able to help and of course there is also Stylo from 'Music:Hertz' who still pops into 'Exile' from his travels and oh I am feeling optimistic now LOL!
    I didn't mention that I am pretty certain that there is a film of the musical journy too did I???
    Fingers X'ed!

    Downtown Music Gallery has CD-R copies I believe. The Japan Foundation only donated it to 'qualified institutions' as well as music based businesses...
