I'm looking for the Pink Floyd 1-CD "My Uncle is Sick Because the
Highway is Green" (Oil Well), but only if it's a factory-pressed
silver original real CD (not any unoriginal CD-R copy) that has all of
the original artwork that it's supposed to have and is at least in
excellent condition (each piece of original artwork as well as the
original disc).

So if you have it available, could get it for me, or know where I can
currently find it, it will be greatly appreciated if you could let me
know - thanks.

i'll teach you to turn away.

Comments: It's another Oil Well release, and they're infamous for
cheap packaging and purposely incorrect information. Obviously,
Wolverhampton 3/8/67 is incorrect; what this disk is instead is a
motley collection of BBC recordings like "Julia Dream" that everyone's
heard before, along with a couple of old "Ommayad" songs, direct from
the vinyl ("Rain in the Country"). Don't bother with this disk. -ANON

My Uncle is Sick... seems to be a recycling of Ultra Rare Trax 1. *Pay
no attention to the "live in Wolverhampton" labelling!! -ANON

why such interest?

Well, I've already been aware of the comments & other info. about it
on the old Floyd RoIO Database, but thanks anyway. I can't explain my
rather strange CD collecting habits, but in this particular case I'm
interested in it more as a collector's item rather than for it's
actual musical value.

Yeah I understand, but it's not even considered a "collectible" other
than the fact it's an ROIO. You money would be better spent on any
release from Swinging Pig, Great Dane, etc. Oil Well was one step above
the Shinola label...who was a truly horrid label back in the day.
