I don't know which side of the seas you are on but i've seen copies in
philly, new york and in jersey and phoned a record store in Cali that
had more coming in. I'm not sure how penatrating bootlegs can be but i
was assuming it was a re-issue. Stateside that is. Anyone?... So we can
put a rest to the long legacy of Organix posts? :)
