Stuff from Australia goes out of print too quickly. Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun (the real version) was re-issued and went out of print before I even knew it was out. Now is sells for a shitload of money.

At least I did get my hands on a rare German issue of the Tarney/Spencer - Band Run For Your Life. From what I've read only 1500 were made back in 1993. Anything that has surfaced since has been bootlegs.
