I have _Gentlemen Take Polaroids_ and _Tin Drum_ on CD, and agree with your
summation of their stature.  Could you please be of some assistance regarding
two other Japan albums.  To the best of your knowledge, is either of
_Quiet Life_ or _Assemblage_  available on CD?

I have _The Waking Hour_ by Dali's Car on CD, but have searched many a
music store for Mick Karn's _Titles_  :-(
