The first, self-titled Everyman Band lp, on ECM, was my introduction 
to Torn. I remember buying because the front-cover blurb said 
something about the band members having played with Lou Reed and Don 
Cherry, I figured that had to be a pretty eclectic mix. Great, 
burning fusion stuff, with some killing guitar solos. Converted me to 
slobbering fandom for life! Did this ever get issued on CD?
