Same questions as #1 and #2. The music added greatly to enjoyment of the show. Availability?

After the program Barrier of Spears they gave a phone number where I could order this. If it is not available they shouldn’t say it is.

My family enjoyed the show very much. I too would like to find the music if it is available.
