Its quoted quite extensively in Wreckers of Civilisation, but is defintely worth picking up in its own right, if only for the previously unpublished Burroughs passages. BTW, United is available on CD in lots of places besides the reissue of 2nd Annual Report - e.g., the TG Greatest Hits set, and the Rough Trade anniversary compilation, off the top of my head. Along with Hot on the Heels.. it seems to find its way onto a lot of compilations due to its relative approachability...
