Yeah, that's my favourite all time version. Great sound and atmosphere on that bootlegs too!

BTW Anyone seen the Sergio Leone film of the same name? Great spaghetti western if you like that genre. It was shown recently at The Filmhouse in Edinburgh and I went along and saw it on the big screen - superb!

Probably my fave from Alchemy as well. (Even better than Sultans)!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o

The repeating bit you say is just mind blowing.

Hey Maarten.... imagine MK & DG dueling on this song.!!!!

Only about 20 miles outside the city centre and I went to university there so it's like my second home.

No probs. You name the time and place. I think somewhere in Edinburgh would be best and weekends for me.

BTW You don't live very far from Phil Cunningham (South Queensferry).
