    Listen to "Don't Kill My Tree" released one year earlier (1997) by Life After Life
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qNotrudKPE
    It has some strong similarities, especially the singing style.

      Does anyone have any experience with these unofficial pressings? How's the sound quality? I'm thinking of picking up a blue-colored copy I found.

        As of December 2017, there are NO official vinyl pressings of this debut album.

        All the vinyl copies you see are bootlegs (illegal).
