Has anyone in Europe managed to find a copy of the LP over here? I really need it for my super scientific comparison videos but it costs a fortune in shipping, customs and service fees buying it from the US. *crying emoji* I'm in the UK and bought a copy of the LP from a store in the US. Hadn't managed to find the CD or LP anywhere here. Love the album, by no means a masterpiece, but its hodgepodge and quirky character make it a very enjoyable listen. Still don't get why this didn't (at least) just get a worldwide CD release.

At this stage, I would be more interested in the CD. It sounds strange to say this, but CD's cost less than vinyl now!The price of CD's was what turned me off about them back in the 80's. When I see the price stickers on CDs I bought back in the ‘90s, I could cry! They’re a fraction of the price new now, and the mastering’s often far superior. If I had a penny for every… or the £14.99 back, at least… The thing is, you can walk into almost any charity shop these days and buy 3/4/5 CDs for £1 and cover the gaps in your collection. Have managed to find some wonderful stuff over the last decade. Used to only be able to afford to buy 1, maybe 2, a month in the 1990s. LP prices at the moment are ridiculous. Visited a HMV branch the other day and was shocked to see their prices (up to £29.99 now for a single LP?!). The only reasonably priced item I saw was ABBA's last album, at £12.99 (probably due to a gigantic overstock everywhere).
