This is an updated version due to being made aware of another J-Pop single from 1990, a version of 'Out Of The Frying Pan'. And so enjoy this expanded edition, twenty minutes of delicious Steinmania. These are in pretty good quality but I can't guarantee I have the best rips out there, as always enjoy, as these are very good recordings.
