I too had a problem finding This is Sumo in Boston/Cambridge. I was
actually walking out of Newbury Comics in Cambridge and something caught my
eye in the "T" section. Sure enough they had it filed under "T" for This is
Sumo. It must have been the emblem style name that caught my eye because I
had no idea what the cover looked like and was looking for something similar
to the Come Friendly Spaceman cover.

Ok,
Credits to the Boston Globe for printing a review (just a blurb, and with a
typo to boot, but still...) of "This is Sumo" in today's edition, courtesy
of
your truly. They've got an on-line version up at www.globe.com
Meanwhile, why the dearth of Sumo-related writings on this list? The more I
listen to that album, the more I like it. It's odd, for sure, and very un-
but downright infectious I say. The best cuts are "Stupid,"
and
"Destroy All Monsters." I recommend shelling out the import price if you
can
find it. Here in Boston, of all the big chains - Newbury, Tower, and HMV -
I've only seen one copy since February, which is the one I purchased (for
$26). That included the Boston AND Cambridge stores of the above chains.
Not a big seller, apprently, which is sadly no surprise.
