I think n Australian CD store has a set of the first 3 CD's available, but
it's about $50 from memory. There's nothing wrong with my SecretTeaties,
sound wise. It's great! Sharper and clearer than the vinyl, with good
dynamic range. No complaints at all. Mind you I like that early, kinda
thinnish, abrasive production style, but this has transribed to CD without
losing anything IMO. I don't know what pressings the complaints are about,
but mine's a US pressing on Columbia; nothing exotic about it. It doesn't
suffer at all from the muddiness of the first album on CD.
