The Dream Will Never Die - Tales of Phantasia (Studio Version of Theme from Cartridge)

Tales of Phantasia was one of the only SFC / SNES games to feature music with a vocal track (the theme song, "The Dream will Never Die / Yume Wa Owaranai"). Of course, the version on the cartridge was pretty crude - but it was still an amazing accomplishment for the time.

More than a decade ago, I'd stumbled across a studio version of the arrangement on the cartridge, featuring what sounds like an identical vocal track - and a much-expanded backing track including electric guitar and backing vocals. However, I lost the file, and since then all I've been able to find on YouTube is the version with the piano intro that was used in the OVA / PSX (not a bad version by any means, but not the one I was looking for).

Well, I finally found it, and I want to make it easier for others to find. Enjoy.

(Note, I do not own anything related to this video. However, I have been unable to find this recording anywhere - for sale or for streaming - and am making it available simply so that others can enjoy one of my favorite childhood OSTs).
