equipment used Yamaha QY10 for sequencing and tone-generation Casio HT700 was still in great use during this time Guitars: Black 'Nadine' chipboard strat copy Hondo red 12 string strat copy, Franconia bass guitar FX: Boss chorus pedal, Aria overdrive pedal, Pearl flanger pedal Boss Dig. Reverb / Delay JSH analogue delay box Atari ST for sequencing Casio SA-1 for very crude sampling		general Three albums' worth of songs, and an extra album's worth of instrumentals were recorded during this time period - my extreme disillusionment with all forms of commercialism made it impossible for me to profit from my songs. They begged, they pleaded, they broke in and tried to steal the master tapes but I never released any of it....I knew one day I would be able to distribute without the greed of Record Companies overshadowing my Art. So send me a large postal order and I'll mail you a CD.

all value of suffering material originally catalogued on four CDs

front covers and a selection of tracks below 
 

These four cds contained a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, in roughly chronological order.
Eventually I decided I wanted to separate the three vocal albums onto their own disks, and added a fourth for selected instrumentals.
These four Value of Suffering albums can now be viewed (and heard) directly from the 'albums' page:
