Not anywhere I can locate (although the album before this and the one after have been). They were released by Osmosys so maybe you could ask them? I think they are at (if they are still going) OSMOSYS RECORDS (5 CIRRUS, GLEBE POINT ROAD, HUNTINGDON, CAMBRIDGESHIRE PE18 7DX ENGLAND - TEL. (+44) (0) 1480 436677) ... That was current in 1999 anyway. It may be a case of browsing for the album and keeping fingers crossed.
