Actually, it is way out of print. There were no more than a few hundred
copies of the original Vinyl pressed, and some CD's too. What you are
probably seeing in your store are bootlegs. Maybe the CD has been
reissued overseas, but not here yet. As far as I know, Black Thought
has said he wants it re-released, but has had too much too deal with
lately (not making as much on his tour as was intended, getting arrested
for gun possesion) to sort the details out. I have heard that there are
a lot of bootlegs floating around though.
