Impossible to find any of their music on Amazon or Ebay. I have the LP and a few singles but i would think they'd of had a CD comp by now

[@secallen]

They did reissue AUthor Author on CD a few years back

[@VincentPresley]

Cherry Red just gave it a deluxe CD reissue with tons of bonus stuff

[@PeterChoyce]

@@VincentPresley yes i must of found it and bought it 1 year ago !
My only complaint is NO ADULT/RY - just one very poor live version. That guitar is my favorite of the entire 80s decade - WTF? They should of highlighted the original single. I think the B side was THEY CAME AND TOOK HER, which got on the comp just fine - the A side slays tho

[@mckracken]

@@PeterChoyce the B side was Horrorshow, also sadly missing. I guess FAST records didn't want to play

[@robertking1279]

In what quality do you have these tracks?

[@Vibracobra23_Original]

Hi Robert. Tried to PM you, but couldn't. I 've got fairly pristine versions of all which, I think, I've uploaded individually to my Vibracobra23 Redux channel. Got similar copies of the other session too, though all are 320kbps mp3. If you PM me your email address I'll be more than happy to send. They're yours anyways!
