REPOST Request:  My oldest request at this point but I could only add one fresh vinyl rip to last post--this is the Touch And Gone album.  However, I need to add much more to this post and part of the reasons I was holding on to the request.  At any rate gettin' 'er done today so I can beef up the post later one.  Per Discogs:  Real Name:  Gary Malcolm Wright
