Reviews
Exist on CD - Label : GB Records - Number : BCGBCD23 - Year : 2015
Interesting that there doesn't seem to have ever been a CD release of this interesting album. I would love to see a nice little CD box set of all of these Obscure releases, with each release in a digipak with the original Obscure cover art. This is one of those things that, in my mind, seems like such an obvious idea that I find myself surprised that it hasn't been done.
