Anyone have this cd? I picked it up for 2 bucks at a used cd shop the other day. Nice little addition to the collection.

That's correct. It's a nice little piece, just for Cairo and Stories. Some Best Buy's still have it.

If you don't have any luck finding it, send me a PM and I will burn you one. It is a great little disc that I find myself popping in the player quite often. Island Fever is one of my favorites since the first time I heard it on the DSTC CD.

There's usually one or two copies floating around on ebay pretty frequently, too.

I bought it when it first came out. I wasn't going to, but when I saw "Cheeseburger In Paradise" was on it, I couldn't resist.

Looks like a rather odd release. Three exculsives I see, but do we really need another disc with Cheeseburger and Come Monday on it?

I bought it at Best Buy. Doesn't get a lot of spin time.

To me it seems like the quality of the old recordings on here is better, just a cleaner sound I guess.
The one I bought at Best Buy had 2 covers in it.

I have it and its worth getting just for the live version of Cairo.

I don't know if I would pay 15 bucks for it, but if I could get it for 6 or 7, I would porbably pick it up.

I found the Calaloo record at a used record store in New Orleans. I've seen many copies since then.
Island Fever is one of his best songs ever written and recorded - it's in my top 5 faves of Jimmy's songs. He needs to play it live.
Stories From My Favourite Books is just another version of That's What Living Is To Me from Hot Water.
Why there is another release of Cheeseburgers and Come Monday I'll never understand. I certainly don't need those songs again. And again. And again.
