In the early days of music CDs, Spyro Gyra’s live album _Access All Areas_ was released without one song, “Old San Juan”, that opened both the LP and cassette versions, apparently due to time constraints.

I had hoped that in the age of downloadable and streaming music, this track would have been restored to the album, but as far as I can tell it has not.

Does anyone know if this version of the song has been made available anywhere?

Have you tried YouTube, or other places where the track and/or a video of it live could be found? There are ways of saving the audio if you do.

I used to like them, but they’re a little too “smooth” for my taste in jazz.
