    It should be noted that the only version of this CD readily available
    is missing the last track, "Whenever, Wherever", & that the mastering
    is incredibly poor.

    There was a Japanese version that def. had the last track, & probably
    better mastering, but it's pretty impossible to find these days.

    And it should finally be noted that this is a CRIMINAL state of
    affairs, as the album is a masterpiece.

    Well, at least the Rotary Connection catalog (minus their excellent
    Xmas album, _Peace_, which I happen to have an extra sealed copy of)
    is in print....

    Anyone know of a complete Charles Stepney discography? The man
    should be as well known as Quincy Jones or the Mizell Bros.--
