I believe it was, but was taken out of print in fairly short order. I have the LP and have been looking for a CD copy for a number of years.

Another "rarity" on that LP is the original 45 mix of "World In Harmony". I don't think that has seen the light of day on CD (those Vaudeville Years and ShowBiz Blues set versions are outtakes or alternate mixes)

So basically, that CD, however rare it is, is the only CD with those two tracks in their original forms. Definitely one to keep an eye out for. If anybody ever finds it, it may well be reasonably priced because most sellers would not necessarily know about its unique properties

While we're on the subject: there are 11 tracks from the pre B/N period that are not (easily) avilable on CD.

From the 'Jeremy Spencer' album:

Linda
Mean blues
Here comes Charlie (with his dancing shoes on)
Teenage love affair
Jenny Lee
Take a look around Mrs. Brown
Surfin' girl
If I could swim the mountain
Teenage darling # (B-side form the 'Linda' single)

Fleetwood Mac:

World in harmony
The purple dancer

Also, 6 tracks from the B/N period (all B-sides).

That first Jeremy Spencer solo album is really a great album, perhaps showcasing Jeremy's amazing talent for mimicry more than any other album. I'm still very pleased that I managed to obtain a CD copy of it. Nothing better than listening to "Take A Look Around Mrs Brown".
