Meredith Young-Sowers: Agartha: Personal Meditation Music - Spectrum Culture

Agartha tape help needed:
I spent too much money on eBay trying to get a clean, complete set of original Agartha: Personal Meditation Music. I missed two of them: Emotional/Sexual & Intuition.
I want to keep this original set together and will pay whomever won them handsomely. Please reach out!
