Far as I know, the EP was the only Monroes release, and no, it's never
made it to CD -- no big loss, because honestly, "What Do All the
People Know?" is the only good song on it.
Insult to injury: I have that LiO compilation too, and I don't know
who that picture is, but it definitely AIN'T the Monroes! Based on
the photo on the EP cover, the Monroes were rather elderly, pudgy,
balding gents who had latched onto the new wave for a final stab at
relevance, and if I remember correctly, the photo on the LiO comp is
of some young glammy poodle-hair band of the Hanoi Rocks ilk.
