CD or LP?...

Before you shell out a massive $33 at Buysoundtrax, try buying the CD directly
from the source - Hip-O Select. The price there is a much less painful $17.49.
The bad news is that for some unknown reason they will not ship to Europe.
However, if you have a buddy in any of the countries they WILL ship to (which is
just about everywhere else) then you could get them to buy you one.

I notice that Soul Brother in the UK have it listed for about £19, though there's
no indication of whether they have it in stock. Might be worth a try though:

I got mine from Dusty Groove America, though they don't always have any in
stock. It comes in a cardboard sleeve, a mini-replica of the original LP packaging.
It's not a bootleg, and sounds superb.

Thanks for the tip catfellah...
I was wondering if it was ever released on CD since no mention of it here and no mention of it being a CD or LP in BSX's description even though I don't think BSX sells LP's.
I didn't even bother to e-mail BSX since they sometimes take a long time to respond which eventually I would have done anyway in addition to search somewhere else for a better price thinking to myself that I would get a quicker response from you people in this forum.

Thanks again!! ;- )

I can second catfellah's description. Order it direct from them. Also available is Willie Dynamite. As a guilty pleasure, I also ordered the Joey Heatherton CD being offered with a truly great cover, uncensored.
