Agreed on the need for a vinyl release on this. It's the only Ali Farka Toure album that isn't available on vinyl and World Circuit recently did first-time vinyl pressings of Savane and The Source, so I really hope they do this one too. It's a great album -
This beautiful album really needs a vinyl issue - some of the singing on this is as stunning as the playing.
