  3. Did I wrote "Matthias" anywere at the post?????
    It seems you know from whom I've got the LP!? Or...?
    BTW - he is still recovering from a heavy fracture of the leg...at the moment he's on rehab.

  4. The dedication is on the back cover scan. And no, I didn't know about M. and the fractured leg. I wish a fast recovery!

  5. Oh yes - forgot about it.
    Charles Sullivan was in contact with Matthias Winckelmann from ENJA then.
    Obviously they didn't make an album...
    There are plans to release music from the ENJA vaults.

  6. ...I thought you knew about M.W. from "...and the leftovers" where I've posted the album before.

  7. No, I have to disappoint you. I guess I missed out on the leftovers while they were still up/available.

    As for the various coexisting enja labels, man... how many great albums are still in their vaults that never made it into the digital format. I'm looking forward to plenty of treasures. Maybe they could rival the FMP efforts on d:o/bandcamp. I wish them all the best!
