Valle del Locomotora de Vapor, (Mobile Fidelity recording)

Does anyone know if the above album by Mobile Fidelity was ever made available on cassette or CD? If so, could you give me some source where I could get a copy? I have the vinyl recording of the album but it is too far gone to get a decent copy on CD and I don't really want to get another vinyl disc at this time. Would appreciate any help.

You don't have e-mail listed, so I have to post this on the forum.
Get a good sound board in your computer, and a suite of appropriate programs and utilities. Record the vinyl "as best you can" into the computer at high bitrate, and process out the noise, backtranslate the distortion, etc.
You can then burn the result to commercial CD (Red Book) format, or make a tape. I don't believe there would be a CD of this specialty title (aside from potential bootlegs) -- your best bet to find out, I'd think, would be to check with the old-record specialists who know the history of Mobile Fidelity.

I know of four Mobile Fidelity LPs that were reissued on two CDs: "Sunday Only" (CB&Q-C&S) and "Steam Railroading Under Thundering Skies (Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern) on Bainbridge BCD 6242; "Interurban Memories" (PE & CNS&M) and "Mister D's Machine" on Bainbridge BCD 6297. These have a 1993 copyright in the name of Miller Nevada Ltd., Inc. I guess these are no longer available.
There is a website devoted to Brad Miller and it has a complete discography of all his work, including the railroad recordings: http://www.aurealm.com./thunder.htm

Well it seems that finding this recording in a non-vinyl medium are not very promising. Thanks for the suggestions though.

That's why I bought a turntable for LPs after a few years without one. I enjoy browsing in record shops and lots of times there are good bargains in $1 or $2 music LPs when you don't want to buy an entire CD just to get one track. But if the LPs aren't in good condition it might be too much work to edit out all the clicks.
