Yeah, the 'Greatest Hits' was released on Anthem Records as they are the
vault-keepers of his entire catalogue. Alas, his seven or eight solo albums
may never be released on CD because Anthem has not been actively re-issuing
anything but Rush at this point. Universal Music, who distributes the label,
have first right of refusal on re-issues (which is the song and dance I was
given when I tried to license these albums as 2-fer-1's) so, until Universal
decides that the world needs Ian Thomas, he remains a buried treasure.
Oh, and he is the funnier sibling of SCTV comedian Dave Thomas.
