    I recently received a copy from Craft Recordings in the USA, and it's on red vinyl. It's also labeled CR00465 with the barcode 888072269187. The back cover states it's Made in the U.S.A. The sound quality is absolutely amazing.

    Driving around in Diller's Bug with Po, the three of us belting out every song on this album with all our souls, is a memory I'll always treasure. Life wasn't always a walk in the park in the middle of nowhere, but having great friends and real music definitely made it more bearable.
