Got it for cheap years and years ago in some used record shop in Manchester , CT . Since it does have it's share of scratches and surface noise ( not to mention a few skips ) , I don't listen to it as often as I'd like . As far as I know this record was never released on CD , which is a shame because the group does some super percussive covers of tunes like Softly , As In A Morning Sunrise ; Cherokee ; and Misirlou . Talk about percussion , we 've got Burmese gongs ; Japanese shamisen ; wind chimes ; boo bams ( tuned sections of bamboo with skins as percussive heads according to liner notes ) ; ipo ( Hawaiian gourd ) , etc...etc... Just wondering how this LP rates in the MD discography ? I'm tempted to pick up a nicer copy here in Japan for $ 30 . Fair price for a VG++ ?
