This was briefly in print on CD awhile back, but I never grabbed one. I still have the original vinyl though. Can't say this one stuck with me like Nothing To Fear or Only A Lad, but still, there's some great stuff here. I like the manic opening track the best.

By watching the trade in bins closely I've been able to score some out-of-print CDs fairly cheap. Most are in top condition, going for anywhere from 25 cents to ten dollars. Maybe this will turn up.

I'm hoping. It's not an album I play often though, and I prefer good ol' analog anyway. Still, it's nice to have a complete set. I can only think of one used shop in our part of the state that might even carry it. Many others are no longer taking in CDs.
