        Geeze - $50. I guess that's US, too. I only ordered it about a year
ago, so I assume you can still get it pretty easily.
        I quite like the stuff on this album - in fact, it would be close to
the truth to say I LOVE the stuff on it. It's got more of an intimate
feel than the album versions of particularly Test Tube Conceived, e.g.
the version of "Fly on the Wall" is IMO much better than the album
version. As long as you can put up with the poor keyboard on the album,
it's great.
        My suggestion is - get it, but order it, as $50 is far too much for it.
But then again, I'm a total Calvert fanatic, so take my advice with a
pinch of salt, if necessary...
