Thanks for the post. Along with Big Dipper, one of my all time fave 80 bands and "Room" is one of the best tunes of the 80's, period. I'd kill for digital / CD versions of the first two Suns records. My scratchy vinyl is all I have.
You're not the only one thinking that All Night Lotus Party is premiere--one of the best records ever! Does anyone know if this is available on CD? I have a cassette copy, but would love to upgrade it. Thanks.
I've been checking and checking over the years and, no, All-Night Lotus Party is still not available on CD. I'd be glad to make you a duplicate of the vinyl copy I transferred to CD but the sound quality is about as good as any vinyl LP you could purchase used on-line. Send me an e-mail with your address if you're wanting me to make a copy and I'll get right on it.
