it's interesting, and surprising to me that this post brought out such strong contrary opinion. Everything is being reissued these days, and everyone does interviews on obscure "art" radio stations. As for this album being an "audiophile" recording - I guess I never considered it so, especially since my first copy is a CD that's so overly compressed it could never be mistaken for one. That said, I have always like JW's voice and and vocal style, and I really like the songs on the CD.
Since posting this I have received my purchase of the "reissue" and given it a couple of plays. It's much better than my original CD version, but still not nearly as good as my vinyl copy, nor as good as "The Well" or "The Hunter". That's a little disappointing. The 4 bonus tracks however make the RI worth purchasing IMHO. But if you find JW's music lame, or the lyrics depressing then of course don't bother.
