I have been hunting all over London for extra copies (none found yet),
and this tape may acually be available in Canada (I will find out). If
so, maybe we should set up some kind of network for this thing.

Remember: KERRANG! METAL MONSTERS, from Sony Video/LP and Virgin/EMI.
   check all catalogues in your local Blockbuster, Music World or Camelot
   for this one. it may yet be available in continental USA.
