    I've owned my copy of this for 20+ years and finally looked it up on Discogs I'm a bit surprised at the asking price of the only copy listed, given it's a reissue . It's an album I enjoy listening to. The listing of patent #s is something I've not seen before, and to have both US and UK is odd. Is ther any info out there about this ?
