On-line is the most likely option. Amazon.UK at last have it available over here, but on the US label Wounded Bird Records - do WBR do mail order within the USA?

what's the deal with that album? looks interesting.
 
At last the album has arrived and quick "review " of sorts at:
 
Strongly recommended - a combination of the best jazz rock heard at ttheheight of the genre in the 70's with lots of new edge - Pasqua is a monster of the keys - take note of my parallels with Davis and Nucleus.

John McLaughlin: The Essential John McLaughlin (Sony Columbia), unlike the recent Clapton release The Complete Eric Clapton, this compilation has clearly had some thought and effort put into the track selection, taken from McLaughlin's full career and sampled from a broad variety of recording labels: from being part of Graham Bond's Organisation through Lifetime, Miles, Mahavishnu to McLaughlin's latest album Industrial Zen. Therefore there are a very large number of  musicians to be heard playing with McLaughlin: a veritable who's who of the modern jazz scene. The liner notes are excellent by (the Jaco Pastorius biographer) Bill Milkowski , along with pretty thorough details of the tracks used - and making apologies for not being able to access certain tracks (because record labels didn't want to collaborate - shame on them, e.g. Extrapolation, whilst finding alternative versions (to me an unknown version of Arjen's Bag  with McLaughlin as part of a Joe Farrel group). You move from McLaughlin the bebop player of the early 60's, to the innovative jazz rock fusionist of the 70's, to the Indo-jazz rock, flamenco/Latin jazz fusion and through to the modern day. and via the digression in to modern serious music.  Perhaps more tracks representing this output from the 90's might have been included. However, as a starter for a music fan who come this music for the first time and wants to hear why John McLaughlin is seen and heard as one of the best guitarist in world, this double CD is an excellent place to start.

I got Steve Smith`s first Vital Information album on now on CD ! You can now purchase it through Wounded Bird Records. One of the best fusion albums of the eighties in my book.

Just dropped through the letterbox as a promo:

Clear Frame (Lol Coxhill, Charles Hayward, Hugh Hopper, Orphy Robinson, and with Robert Wyatt guesting on cornet) - improv/free jazz, on Charles Hayward's own label Continuity (through ReR Records). A strong Canterbury contingent playing  RIO.
