I’ve naturally ordered the orange vinyl from the SDE shop! Also a green vinyl version at RecordStore if this is of interest…

Thanks for the order Dave!
I also think this is one of Iggy’s best albums, every track is great. I’ve always wondered why it seems to fly under the radar – I assume because it was on a smaller label and poorly distributed on release? I didn’t realise it got a poor critical response – that is absolutely mystifying to me. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!
Igster’s best album, critics be damned, an absolute classic.
Interesting to note that Zombie Birdhouse has a Blondie rythme section, Chris Stein (bass) & Clem Burke (drums)!
My favourite Iggy album. Although I have the double CD from 2003, couldn’t resist a new remaster so preordered (you can’t have too many copies of this).
Classical I’m, long overlooked. I have the original CD release but if it’s a good remaster I am sorely tempted
‘Classic album’ that should read
Hi Paul, about how much to ship the CD to the USA? I will order from the SDE shop if it doesn’t become available over here.
Thanks
Can’t remember exactly… you can add to the basket and do a postcode check for shipping! Thanks for your interest :)
Will do, thanks!
Never mind ‘Angry Hills’, all hail ‘The Horse Song’! :-) Good to see this album hit the light of day again.
The Horse Song is one of my favourite Iggy songs. I’m so pleased this often overlooked album is getting a re-release. Does the vinyl come with a download plus the extra track?
Angry Hills… classic tune!
“Angry Hills” is a phenomenal song. I have this on my SDE wish list.
