    This less than perfect 128kps rip is the best I've found of this hard to find disc. Thanks to the original poster on Soulseek. http://rapidshare.com/files/393500375/Nasty.zip

    what heiku said!

    btw, that Jeff Lee Johnson looks interesting ... is there a link that I missed? (very few things on DIW not good for a spin)
