I'd be interested in seeing MacArthur Park, I didn't see any metnion of it
on the ADIOS site.  I think almost everyone likes this off Classic
Brass... not up to Maynard Standard perhaps, but Pete Roberts is still
quite rude.  There was some discussion on the list a while ago about how
'unfortunate' a published version was, I'm glad we now have a choice.

Sentimental - havn't Studio just released this too?
