Has anyone ever heard this album? I know it was a limited press of 500 by Tuff Gong. And from what I've gathered copies were only sold by the group to friends and family. I have been curious about the album for quite some time.
Thanks all for any info!

Yeah. I was given a rip of the album from a board member on another forum and I must admit it was a brilliant set in every way. Good lyrics, production and vocals. Wouldn't mind having the set on vinyl although I can't see myself paying any more than a quarter (or less really) of that eBay price.

Thanks i really like the sample clip. I would love to have that someday, that price is way out of my range however.

With all due respect for the artists and people with a different taste, I recall this is as an awful album. I'll try to give it a second listen, after parking it in the basement after a couple spins. Sometimes, albums require repeated listening to grow on you, but if I recall correctly, this one was just a disaster.

This is why it will probably not be re-issued, another sign of its below standard status.

I received a promo copy of this, and it sits on a shelf after one or two plays. I pulled it out last night to see if it sounds as I remember it back then, and time hasn't helped.
