Their homepage (http://www.greatbigsea.com) seems proud of the fact that all? their recordings are going to be released in the US on June 2, 1998. Too bad you guys have been missing out so long. I think they're great. "Up" is currently one of my twenty or thirty favorite albums, though I didn't like "Play" quite as much. I was surprised a while ago to hear a local rock reviewer enthusiatically reporting that she thought Great Big Sea's "unplugged" concert in Toronto was, if I remember, the best "unplugged" concert she'd ever seen.
