It's still available ... and identical to the original issue aside from
"Egg Records" covering up the original Major Bill label. Also, the reissue
has all the lyrics included, which aren't in the original (or weren't in
mine, anyway).
 
It's an okay album, but definitely for completists only. One note: my
girlfriend swears that the title song was used extensively in the movie Mrs
Doubtfire, but having never subjected myself to Robin William's drag-fest
(on film or otherwise), I can't be certain if this is correct.

My copy, the Major Bill version from 1991 and made in USA has no mention
of the Black Hole Records, either in a logo or fine print.  My catalogue
number reads MB0191.  No lyrics either on my version, so this leads me
to believe that YES - there are THREE different versions!
 
- Major Bill Records 1991
- Major Bill Records/Black Hole Records ????
- Egg Records 1993 (to cash in on her signing to Capitol, perhaps?)
 
Anyone have further details??
