I think this is a re-release. You can buy a version on Amazon Canada released in 2002.

It's been released a few times since 1999, including an American pressing at one point:

All previous issues of this material are out of print. The new version from Talking Elephant will likely be remastered and repackaged.

Anyone know if it's any good?

Bump with confirmations from Talking Elephant -- their 2017 edition will have new cover artwork (now shown in the first post) and will be remastered.

@Geff: It's not the greatest sound quality, based on previous pressings, but the recordings are otherwise unavailable.
