...Tongchart's freezer holds 10 tons of boiled and freeze-dried giant water bugs, dung beetles, grasshoppers and a fine assortment of succulent worms. The 40-year-old former butcher and noodle salesman is president of United Insects of Phitsanulok, and that, he says, makes him the king bee in Thailand's estimated $50 million-a-year edible bug industry. "Business is so good that I don't have to deliver," he says. "If you want bugs, you come...

And not the LP version, either (if there was one), or the CD (right, not invented yet) - it had to be the 45, the only version with that raw, hyper-compressed, grooves-carved-in-your-flesh sound...
