... a pretty fair critical assessment of the record (although I love pretty
much anything with Simon House playing violin ... even the Bowie and Japan
stuff!).  The Magic Muscle album to get is 'The Pipe, the Roar and the
Grid', which is the only one that contains original-era 1970s recordings by
the band (including Simon guesting on some tracks).

This pressing of 'One Hundred Miles Below' may be fairly rare (don't really
know for certain), but the US pressing on Skyclad records is not - it was
definitely over-pressed on both vinyl and CD, so it's one of those "pay no
more than $5" records in either format.

BTW I got vinyl copies of 'The Pipe...' and one other Magic Muscle LP at
Strange Daze for $10 each.
