Glacial Pace's online store is now selling copies of The Fruit That Ate Itself on both CD and LP. Both versions have been out of print for a while now.

In other reissue news, The Moon & Antarctica is also being re-released on CD on August 10th, but there are expected to be no differences from the original 2000 release.
