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... Get you some software that will convert it to CD and remove the barbecue sounds. I have used Audio Cleaning Lab for some pretty scratchy vinyl with good results. Takes a little playing with to get it right, but worth the effort to preserve your good wax.
