The latest rip in the never-on-CD series is Blue Zoo's LP "2 x 2" (1983) plus a bunch of singles and b-sides. There are good mp3 rips of this album on the Web (check out Fade 2 Grey), but I couldn't find any in FLAC.
What I most appreciate about this band is its stylistic diversity. Except for "Cry By Cry," my favorites are not the synthpop show tunes, but the more off-kilter ones: "John's Lost," "Open Up," "These Days," "Chameleon Waves."
I divided the files into two downloads:

p.s. Somewhere in the world there is a cowboy who is NOT smiling. My copy of this 12" has a flaw, so the beginning of this song sounds wonky. If anybody has a good flac rip of this song, please post. Otherwise, I might eventually buy another copy.
