News - Nov 2000
Rare copies with the original cover have been unearthed.
Jim originally did all the work himself with no record deal,
planning to sell the CD at gigs. BMG Australia then
picked it up and re-designed the cover adding lyrics.
Both are now available at the official Master's Site. 		Pressure Makes diamonds Cover
