This is the US release of Absolute O'Brien, from Oglio Records, with redesigned packaging by Lisa Sutton. The initial release was six months earlier in the UK, from Medical Records. Oglio was also responsible for the TW2K: Time Warp Two Thousand CD single, which came out in the US (only) around the same time. For more information, refer to the overall album notes.

As of this writing in 2009, the CD is available direct from Oglio for $1.00 plus shipping (which I can only really interpret to mean that they're desperate to get it out of their warehouse). It is also available digitally in MP3 form from Amazon MP3 Downloads.
