Okay, I feel stupid now because I found the group, 4 Hero, at CDNow, and the
title of the album is Two Pages (Japanese Import). But before I can spend
$35 ($32.49 + shipping&handling) for it, I want to hear it. Does anyone
know where I can find some samples of at least a few of the 22 tracks (20 +
2 bonus tracks)?
