    1. I have the original vinyl and do feel this album deserves a remastered vinyl release

      1. Frankly, generally I still prefer the old dusty vinyl... but Esoteric Recordings decided to produce only the CD edition. The original edition has a wonderful cover by Chief Druid Dave Loxley who makes it a real 'piece of popular art'...
