yes it's the same label. there are a few more random releases on vick. bob lee owned it, along with jerhart, hawk, toi, big 3, sta-set, etc. there are apparently two different presses of the emeralds that look the same but are different versions.
i sent two packages express on friday, it does cost that much and that's the only "official" service that gives you tracking. I always thought priority international gives you tracking, and apparently you can track it via the customs number, but somehow they don't officially support it.
copies turned up of this in the last year or two, I would discount any popsike prices before then. If I was trying to sell one I think I would ask $150.
I was trying to post a link to his youtube account, not embed a video, but the stupid automedia thing changed it. either way, if you go to his account it's there.

another awesome thing (for me) on the CD that is never explicitly mentioned is that there's totally an armenian soul group on it (higher feelings on kent). The photos and writing credits give it away...
volume 2 came out I think in 2009. There is a sick CD cover, a color photo of towanna and the total destruction dressed as a biker gang and riding choppers, it's awesome.
