Out of curiosity, I just took a look at the Palm Pictures site. I think the
Sly and Robbie/Howie B CD is a SOUNDTRACK for that "Strip to the Bone"
video. The site lists it as a "Companion CD". Looks like those fellas are as
culpable as Palm Pictures. I must admit I love those sexy titles ("Drilling
for Oil," "Softcore Surge" and "Superthruster") and I bet the CD is as good
as you describe.
