To get the album in pristine lossless WAV format, you can download it from our BandCamp page. If you download the album from there, you will also get a free bonus track, “Lady Lovely.” This track is not available anywhere else and will not be included on the CDs when they arrive.

• Speaking of CDs, we’re working on having those ready for mass consumption by the end of the month, hopefully. More news on that as it comes.
