Yeah, I agree about Charlie. He's also a hell of a nice guy, too. His solo albums since are much more mellow and acoustic driven, but still quite good. You should be able to get them at

I still love the debut album the best, but unlike you Terry, I got the CD first, then had to track down the vinyl later. It was back in the early days of CD, and when I switched from starting to just buy everything on CD rather than vinyl. Luckily, I was able to find a mint copy on vinyl for cheap in a record store last year.
