    Is the 2005 CD issue the first occurrence where A Place To Survive has no fade-out?

      Side1: a2 C11 4 side2: b1 C 12 1 If anyone has earlier matrix than this, or just like this one, in a nice condition for a sell, please write me.

        Ignore the detractors, this is a superb album, my favourite of theirs, rivaled only by Still Life and Godbluff. Highly recommended.
