As far as I know, this LP recording was never released on CD. You might
be able to find the LPs from a used LP dealer.  Sherman rerecorded the
Etudes on CD for Albany on TROY-028-2.  I prefer the LP performance; the
CD version seems a little more, well, eccentric.  I don't know if the CD
packaging (which feels very '60s era psychedelic) has anything to do with
this impression.  This version is still listed in the Albany catalog, but
I don't know if one can actually get a copy.  Sherman has apparently taken
the Etudes "on the road" recently; maybe this presages a new recording.

My LPs are in only difficultly accessible storage, otherwise I'd cite the
label and catalog number for the LP performance.
