That record was released by the Dutch BV Haast label in 1986 and 
indeed pulled back after Ernst Schwitters (the son) complained about 
it. I have a rare copy. Maybe Jaap Blonk should do an illegal CDR 
version? I will ask him next time I see him.

Snippets of the Ursonate were used by SBOTHI (Achim Wollscheid) in 
1986 when he made a piece for a cassette I released to celebrate 
Scwhitters' 100th birthday in 1987. It featured people that had links 
to Schwitters, like Merz, Merzbow, Prilius lacus, SBOTHI, Richard 
Franecki and Paul Hurst. That cassettes is still available as a CDR...
