I only accidently discovered the CD version while I was in the process
of trying to
create a clean transfer of the LP to CDR. It looks like a semi-official
release, i.e.
it definitely sounds like it came from tapes, because the quality is way
past what the
LP sounds like. However, there's no bar code, and from what I see, it's
only been
marketed in Japan, who are big on this sort of obscure stuff.
The only real problem I found with the CD was that they jacked the
volume up on all
the tracks except the first one, which IMHO is the best track on the LP,
so it needs
a bit beefing up (which I did for my MP3). Otherwise, a real nice
reissue job.
