I was fortunate enough to attend a 1979 David Werner show in Seattle; it was
amazing.
A couple of years ago I was reminded of this and pulled out the vinyl and
mastered myself up a copy. This stuff holds up well.

About a year ago I tried tracking down Mr. Werner. The only person I got
was his agent (who was kind of an asshole). I had every intention of
reissuing Whizz Kid on both vinyl and cd. They wouldn't even talk to me
though. I'd imagine they're waiting for "the big deal." So you may never
see those albums reissued.
