You can download 'Sixteen Days-Gathering Dust' from iTunes only as part of the 'Full of Dust & Guitar's' EP. Sixteen Days (reprise) has never been released on CD or download, therefore please find a vinyl rip below. | This video for Sixteen days-Gathering Dust was found at the end of a video cassette of a 1985 documentary on 23 Envelope so it could possibly be official, though it doesn't look it. This home made video for the tracks looks nicer than the one above. |
