That Jimmy Hotz cover is AMAZING!
Isn't it!
A great album aswell. I think you can get it from his website:

Hey!
I cannot TELL you how excited I was to come across your blog, and more excitedly this list! I hadn't even HEARD of the Moonrakers before - what a funny name! I'm quite a bit lover of this music myself and my personal top 10 would come very close to yours!
Read your story; it's a minor miracle that Hotz was your first discovery! It is a gem among gems and most people don't discover it til much later - what a bullseye right out of the box.
Hey, wanted to ask you a favor. Was reading my (very worn) copy of Ken Scott's The Archivist and he highly recommends Billy and Sandra Stinson so I scoured the web, and... nothing! Except for a few used vinyl that won't get the artist paid. Would you consider sharing on that one since there's no real way to get it new? If this doesn't show my email to you, it is
timhenHHH@gmail.com (it's just timhen, subtract the 3 H's - figured that MAY outsmart the search bots?) Either way I'd love to hear back from a rare lover of this music!
Peace to you,
Tim
