  1. Αυτό το cd, να θυμηθώ να το επιστρέψω.

    Το είχα πάρει πριν 2 πολύ καιρό από ένα φίλο για να το ριπάρω μαζί με διάφορα άλλα [Eloy, που είδα στο αρχικό ποστ αλλά και συλλογές της IRMA RECORDS]
    Όταν τα επέστρεψα, ο "Άργος" ξέμεινε σπίτι και πριν μερικές μέρες τον βρήκα καθώς συγύριζα, το (ξανα)ρίπαρα και να θυμηθώ και να το δώσω πίσω.

    Αυτά_
