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.
