I can remember what a gold find it was to have this on vinyl before it got digitally issued on CD. I paid $90 for my copy.

Hi AJ! I was lucky back in the day to have a local record store that was filled with CTI, Project 3 and other stuff that nobody but collectors and DJs cared about.
  ♥ 4:33pm
A.J. MACHETE:

↳ Funky16Corners @4:27
A similar thing must've happened when I took a trip to San Diego in 1998. A Tower Records was closing, and there were a bunch of CTI's (with multiple copies) that I stocked up on. The Deodato Prelude and 2 were among my finds.

For a long time nobody cared, Jazz snobs looked down on CTI/Kudu, but DJs knew there was heat on those records.
