I think the best chance is ebay, It was never released on CD.

Jeff was my neighbor when I was growing up. He was such a nice man and so unpretentious and mild-mannered. There weren’t many Hispanics living in Woodland Hills back then and the other neighbors were generally unfriendly to us, but Jeff was immediately friendly and engaging. My mom became terminally ill and it wreaked havoc on her mentally. He was aware of this and never responded with anything but kindness.
