    I was lucky enough to catch a copy from Humanhead a few years back. It's firmly hard filed in the collection. Fantastic record.

      Why are there so many deadstock copies of this record still left? It's been sitting on Mr. Bongo available for purchase for the past 2 years.

        The original 1978 edition of this Lp was made 1000 copies total, information gathered from the NIMBUS site.

            I see everyone selling this bought their deadstock copy from Human Head and are trying to flip it. Bummer ya'll are bringing the value of this record down by trying to all flip it at the same time instead of enjoying it.

              Does anyone know who did the cover illustration on this album? I can see a credit on the back cover but I can't make it out. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
