Correct! I said that in my third post of this thread and, again, My sincere apologies to LW.

What brought me to LW and this forum in the first place is, as I've pointed out, none of the "legitimate organisations" had what I was looking for. It appears to have only been published on vinyl. By the way, it's nice to see someone in this forum, besides myself, who understands the difference between "legitimate" and the intellectual property theft that goes on on P2P networks. ("The developers of LimeWire, or any other Gnutella client, are in no way responsibile for the content that is shared on the gnutella network". -deepblue. right, right, it's the users who participate that are to blame. not those who facilitate it for profit. makes perfect legalese-sense to me.) (by the way, deepblue, I'm quite capable of entertaining that idea without accepting it
)

I understand all that, and from the begining, the idea of looking for anything on one of those sights (one price, or free, or otherwise) made my skin crawl, kind of like the idea of buying some electronic gadget from the guy that hangs out at the bus station and sells stuff out of the pockets of his trechcoat... the concept seems the same to me. I sacraficed my morals and I regret that much more than any money I might have lost...
Anyway, as I stated in my third post of this thread, I'll buy the vinyl and digitize it. The quality will not be quite the same but after I clean it up it should suit my client...
thanks to all of you for your time and particularly to
www.mymusicinc.com for the life lesson. Now if I can just get my money back, I will have gotten that valuable lesson for free
