Post by Turkey Troter »

Anyone out there know if this wonderfull album is available on CD?

I had it a an EL-PEE years ago and played it to death.

I thought I had tracked one down but it was a no-go (asking nearly £100)

Almost certain my older Bro has this LP.
I'll ask him if he's still got it!

Don't know if it was ever released on CD, sorry!

The same goes for "Coming Up For Air", the second Penetration album. "Moving Targets" has been released on CD and there is at least one compilation with some of the tracks from "Coming Up For Air" on it but not the whole thing, I would love to have that on CD and get the full impact of "Killed In The Rush" et al.

As for The Invisible Girls, I've never seen anything on CD but I did find a link to a Peel session (possibly on the "Lovers of Outrage" site) which could be downloaded in MP3 format featuring "Dream Sequence", "Sympathy", "Shoot You Down" and "When Will We Learn", very stripped down and under-produced compared to the lush Martin Hannet versions on the album. It's not the highest quality either and was probably ripped from an old cassette version taped from the radio - something that I still have, in fact!

One of my favourite albums. Came out on CD a few years back.

Great album. Also worth checking out her 'Storm Clouds' album from 1989. - Haven't seen either of them on CD though.

Are you talking about the Invisible Girls album? If it has been released on CD at some point I'll have to seek it out.

Released on CD - but deleted a few years back.

"Coming Up For Air" CD found and ordered from Amazon for under a tenner. Invisible Girls album (and I think it was vinyl) was £53 minimum second hand!

That's about £40 quid more than I can afford - and vinyl too! - Guess I'll have to keep looking! :smt009

Thanks for all the info though :smt006
