A couple of articles dealing with the re-release:

GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal To Reissue Solo Debut Album

August 09, 2010

The very first album from GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, The Adventures Of Bumblefoot, is being re-released after 15 years, as well as a 200-page transcription book of the album by Ron himself. Both will be available at BaldFreak.com later in August, with autographed CD proceeds going to Multiple Sclerosis research.

The instrumental The Adventures Of Bumblefoot, was originally released in 1995 by Shrapnel Records in North America and Roadrunner Records in Europe and Japan.

All the songs are named after obscure animal diseases, and the characters in the artwork reflect each song.

The original album contained 12 songs and two bonus tracks. Out-of-print and unavailable since the late '90s, remaining copies of the album would sell for as much as $600 on eBay.

15 years later, Shrapnel Records has re-released the album, with new packaging and an additional five bonus tracks from a SEGA vide ogame soundtrack Ron did in 1996.
