I don't understand how anything can remain out of print, particularly in this digital age with Itunes etc. It's just asking for piracy. Surely the record company can just make it available online (or via HDTracks *hint hint*), and if no-one buys it - oh well, at least they didn't print 1,000,000 CD's.

I was also shocked when I couldn't find any of the Welch era FM on Spotify, although Bob's solo work is well represented.

Would love to see a remaster of Mystery to Me as I find I am listening to that album more than any other lately.

I'll never forget the pleasant surprise when I bought the vinyl many years ago, just on a whim because I was wanting to complete my FM discography - it ended up hooking me from the start, and I feel "Why" is one of the best FM songs ever.
