New (to me), and very good it is too, CD:-
Another well preseved (1977) Cat Stevens gatefold - Also available on cassette & 8 Track Cartridge 
The ending of "Schoolyard" never fails to make me smile - "Kinell Kinell, oh F**k Off" 
. Another killer Synth track, really well recorded.
On vinyl
SACD-rip streaming in high res......
Sinopoli's Madama Butterfly is a work of pure genius. One of the all time best opera recordings IMO
