I got my copy a couple of years earlier when I made my one and only 
visit to the Liberty Music Shop.  I was on my way to visit with Miles 
Kreuger and I passed by the shop that I had never seen before nor knew 
where it was before, and they had just one copy of it with a slight 
pinch-warp.  Since I was on my way to see Miles, I didn't buy it 
thinking I'd ask him if it was available elsewhere (and perhaps he might 
have extra copies himself).  He said he was already out of copies and I 
should go back and grab it, which I did.

I've asked Thomas for some, as Leah has always wanted a copy and this 
would be fine to house a CD dub of my LP.  I have already found her a 
copy of the 2-LP MGM revival.  It's a great show and a great 
back-story.  Too bad the movie was so cheesy, but what you could see of 
the show itself inbetween the sloppy love interests unnecessarily added 
are great.

So actually you will NEVER run out of sets by augmenting the originals 
with CD-Rs.  Now if you could only come up with copies of the spoken 
word stuff you did for Intersound like Never Again.
