Yes! In the late 60s/early 70s when I was buying anything "...Space Odyssey" related,
I had that album pictured in the third video down. Wanting to hear more, I bought a
copy of the full work on Philips and, I think, Caprice (which was releasing some fine
tape music pieces at the time).

I have the suite from the Odyssey album also.  

The full opera on Columbia, in a box set, was actually in my hot little hands for a few seconds at a record show, until the proprietor pulled it from my paws, saying, "This is not for sale."

That's why you're bringing records to shows - to show them! 

The music is fantastic, though.
