Sotise, thank you so much for this one, I tried to buy several times but is out of stock....the box is 6 lp collection of live recording made by the duo sometimes with toshi ichiyanagi, maybe you may share even the other records of the box, it should be really welcome,...thank you again for this live in bangkok

It's been rereleased on cd. The snippets I've heard are intoxicating. I hope to get my hands on the boxset.
