That's a great album.
Every time I listen to one of his albums I get so mad at the way the music industry is rigged.
Someone as talented as Glen is should be way more famous than he is. It just makes me sick.
I'm just glad I have all his work! Everyone I play Glen's stuff for becomes instant fans!

So everyone can now hear "Hole In My Pocket" on CD (I just have it on a cassette)

"There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time slips through.."

Comes out November 14 from what I saw, how awesome. I was lucky to get Glens "Retrospectacle" on eBay for a lucky 10 bucks!!!

Any idea where we can order the CD?

I'm very much looking forward to this reissue. Now I can find out why everyone else is so enamoured with Mr. Burtnick. I know almost nothing of his work outside of his involvement with Styx.

Listen to Kiss your ass goodbye on Cyclorama and Welcome to Hollywood and you will have your answer.

heh. Um, "Talking in Code" isn't exactly Glen's "best" work, but it is definitely a collectible classic that has a few gems (Little red House, Hole in My Pocket, Perfect World). For my money, "Palookaville" still gets the most mileage, as well as "Retrospectacle" & "Heroes & Zeros." Obviously, "Welcome to Hollywood" is worthy of any praise it can get too. (But Palookaville is still my favorite).

"Talking in Code" is such a novelty because it is *impossible* to find. Like I said, it has its moments, but don't let that be the end-all-be-all when it comes to forming your opinion about Glen's music. It was made when - like 1984 or something? LOL - and sounds like a Molly Ringwald/Rob Lowe soundtrack.

My real copy with OBI cost me $200+ a few years back. So yeah, I know. There are quite a few boots out there.

The Limited Edition of H&Z that Glen reissued with the extra tracks is near impossible to find. I stupidly sold mine about 10 years ago and saw it once on eBay since and paid much more for it.

I have the H&Z reissue and didn't realize it's such a coveted item! I'll gladly sell mine if someone wants it. Maybe I'll be able to pay off the mortagage now?

Glen really needs to release his stuff on Itunes.

It was sold in the 90s when mail order was the only real option and they were limited. That said, I would value it somewhere in the $50 - $75 range, but no more since H&Z is easy to find on CD; just this edition is not.
