None of Thundermug's first three Axe Records LPs have made it onto CD though
you can find their two late '90s reunion releases on www.musicstack.com or
www.gemm.com
Their only Top40 hit "Africa" was released on a series of comps in the early
'90s called 'Made In Canada' (they appear on Volume 3 with Klaatu and fellow
Axe Records artist Major Hoople's Boarding House).
I am currently in talks with a former Axe Records honcho about getting this
stuff released....maybe next year.
