- They did have a go at it in the form of an "Original Master Recording" LP
- (which, sadly, I can't listen to now because I don't currently own a
- turntable) I wish they'd do a CD too. I've been putting off buying
- Aqualung on CD for just this reason.
-
- Aqualung also has the distinction of being the first CD I ever heard. It
- was playing on the original Sony CD player in a stereo shop near New
- Orleans.
