    Hi Roger,
    Same here, Elements is a fantastic album which could do with a proper cd release.
    Cheers.

    Hi Roger...any chance that Elements will be re-issued in the near future...it is one of my personal all time favourite LP’s and my original LP is a little care worn...Best Wishes Simon W
