Don't get your hopes up. In the behemoth that is Universal Music Canada,
they're not very affirmative on their committment to re-issues because the
20th Century Masters are making them a killing. Therefore, Universal
remastered the original Payolas greatest hits package called "Between A Rock
And A Hyde Place" as "Payolas: 20th Century Masters". That's it for now.

Ralph Alfonso has the back story on this....I had hoped to release this
*officially* at some point. Ralph? :-)
BTW - I super-highly recommend Paul Hyde's "Big Book Of Sad Songs" from a
few years back from www.bongobeat.com
