They did a CD re-release of Metal Box in a metal box for a while, they may still do I guess.

Worked in an old second hand record store in Manchester (Pandemonium Records) many years ago, on Oxford Road. The guy who owned it had so many copies of the original Metal Box in the film cannister it was unreal, most sadly slightly rusty. Even though George (he was the owner) had so many, he was always reluctant to sell one on. Seem to recall I was forever re-sorting the stock room out back. The guy was sitting on a goldmine of rare shit.

He used to record stuff onto cassette for you for a few quid if you couldn't afford his madly overpriced stock. His biggest seller in that dept was bloody whale songs. Used to record em' by the dozen.

Found a couple of pieces about the shop.
