Since I've been banging on about them they've become pretty well-known, and
the CDs are easy to find.  I can't take credit, I just spotted them early.

That is pretty cool.  The "car's on fire" sample, incidentally, is by Lee
Marvin.  How cool is that!

I do have F#A#oo and SLOW RIOT FOR NEW ZERO KANADA on vinyl - my F#A#oo came
with the penny that had been flattened on a railroad.

How cool is that!
