Since then, I've gotten a few LPs of their from Ebay, again, as I NEVER seen to actually SEE any of their LPs in any record shops. But, if anyone is interested, I absolutely HIGHLY recommend the Bear Family CD compilation put out a few years ago. it has 30-something tracks on it & i just love their European-style (German, really) ATTACK on the steel guitar..very aggressive & unlike the melodious Native Hawaiian style. It's a great listen.
