I found the re-issue of this album by Ramp (original
was released in 1977 from Blue Thumb/ABC, right?)
available for $ 8.99 at: http://www.dustygroove.com/
Just got one myself, after looking for this album in
eastbay, southbay, sf, Tokyo and never had a luck
with.
Speaking of re-issues, I'm very happy with the
re-issued CD of James Mason (got it in HMV, Shibuya,
Tokyo).
