Charly - Thanks for your comment. I saw those recently as well. I have been in-touch with the heir's to the Brunswick Record label (Mara & Paul Tarnopol) and have actually forwarded your comments. They are indicating that they are planning to release our album along with others on iTunes, Napster and Rhapsody for North America. I certainly would like to see a legitimate re-release. Just so you know none of the Mcluhan musicians has ever seen one cent as far as royalty's. We understand that Brunswick had a fire and all records as far as sales were destroyed. There were previous litigations, etc. surrounding this. It's hard for me to work unilaterally to try to encourage a re-release or on related issues because more people were involved (specifically Dave Wright who would have composer and artistic rights who I haven't been able to locate). I am personally happy that the internet continues to give life and encourage play and hopefully not distort the quality of the original production. Thanks again for your comment.

hi, folks
it's a pity that there are only illegitimate issues of the CD to find:
first was a poor minisleeve version by japanese POOR HOUSE label, now an edition by a lable called PICAR (ALSO ILLEGITIMATE)is on sale world wide. being located obviously in central or eastern europe, copies are already on sale even in JAPAN...
hope there will be an official issue one of these days...
