   Its a pity that this is the first time I've heard of the 5 CD version, or   
   I'd have grabbed a set. But G&S Music has sold out of it and doesn't seem   
   to expect any more will become available, while even the steaming, fetid   
   pile known as Amazon only has the 3 CD version.   
      
   However, a question for the OP of this thread: have you got or listened   
   to 'Roxy By Proxy'?   
      
   IMO its the best CD by the best FZ band, and was recorded at a one-off   
   concert when they were at the top of their game.
